1. Broodwar wont work on a Mac. 2. Broodwar will crash and make your computer NOT RESPOND after a random interval on Windows 7 and Windows 8 3. Broodwar has a color error on w7 and w8. Theres a workaround though. 4. Broodwar public serverds filled with hackers 5. You have to go into iccup to play a decent match (or fish) That said, if Blizzard decided to make an HD version of SCBW with bnet2, and proper OS support, i would jump in, no questions asked. | ||

It would be a shame for all of this hard work to only be largely recognized for 4 months If it works like WC3 did, then it should, TFT could play RoC-made customs. | ||

Unfortunately, so many wonderful nuances from Brood War can't be replicated due to the sc2 engine. Auto-surround and unit pathing is a huge testament to that current fact of life. Maverick was at one time experimenting with the actual unit pathing of units to become 8 way directional to replicate BW pathing. I wonder if he had any success with that or it just wasn't worth it. | ||

I feel like BW would still be balanced even w/ unlimited unit stacking, otherwise we would've seen a lot more double-stacking muta micro in pro-games SC2 Mutas are kinda broken in the form they are with unlimited stacking. Jaedong Iris is enough evidence of the brute power stacked mutas can have if you have the apm to handle two groups. The 11 unit limit makes that stack large enough to be very powerful while weak enough that it can be deflected or can't sit and fight (sc2 mutas v stalkers). Also the muta is a strong harass unit rather than a super mobile ball of doom. Interesting. | ||

Eh not really sc2 mutas being stacked bw style would be obliterated by a couple thor shots. zvp storm would do a ton of damage to all of them instead of not all. Dunno I think people forget how good aoe damage is vs stacked mutas if they were like bw stacking. | ||
