And for the people telling other people to just play broodwar:

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.
1. Broodwar does work on Mac. ICCUP launcher does not.
2. Have been playing on Windows 7 since Windows 7 came out with no problems. Did not need a patch.
3. See above
4. True, but anti hack tools are widely available and private ladders are better for 1v1 anyway
5. I play on USEast every day. I also play on Fish every day.

Oh wowow!
They really pushed it further in its development. Definitely worth a shot :D

Besides the fact that the costum map is amazing and I thorougly enjoy playing it, this post is beyond well made and usefull. It elocuently and consizely explains many aspects of bw that made it an amazing game that sc2 lacks. Heres to hope that blizzard developers read this message and work on implementing this concepts in map making, battle.net and perhaps i patches for HOTS or even legacy of the void. Doing my part by politelly tweeting this link to the oficial starcraft acount and to the developers with known tweeter accounts.

Just played it and it just.... feels better? Does that make sense? It doesn't feel so rushed. I really like it
|
This is what SC2 should have been.
|
This was just so much fun, I actually enjoyed a PvZ, Maybe because I won hehe?
I dont know we were both horrible, but damm it was fun..
|
The amount of data that went into this is amazing, thanks for the easy to understand differences. I've always wondered why SC2 seemed to just settle on 3 bases so naturally as opposed to the much larger BW expansion style.
|
Anyone want to stream some games?
|
glad to see a lot of people are enjoying this. makes me happy that sc2 fans also understand the underlying roots that made bw such a great game

8 Rax? Probe Harass like a bawss.
I wonder if someone could talk Sea or some of the retired BW guys to play this?

Sc2 and Diablo 3 seem to suffer from the same issue.
All blizzard had to do was improve on the previous slightly(few new units/graphics upgrades etc.)
And things would have been great. But it seems they wanted to go with some totally new directions that aren't working simply to try and prove they weren't just reinventing the wheel when the wheel is working fine.
I almost think if they just called the games space wars and hellfighter they would be better because at least we wouldn't constantly compare to the predecessors.

I thought bw was unsupported by lion..
Edit wrong link: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=246868#10
Edit 2: skimmed through the rest of the thread.. guess its 'technically' possible, but kinda seems like a pain. bootcamp is much easier, but xp is no longer supported with lion either... lolllll thanks apple

Love this mod, amazing work MavercK! I was wondering if you incorporated BW's different mining rates? As far as I know, that was a pretty large and necessary part to keep the game balanced.

if sc2 was called space wars maybe about 20% of the player base would have even bought it. the only reason people bought it in the first place was because of sc1's legacy (they either played bw and wanted to see it's successor, or didn't play bw and heard about it online or through a friend who did play bw)

i played it recently and it's so fun to 3 hatch muta every game and the feel of muta micro :p
|
But...but...that muta micro just isn't possible in SC2! (said a certain company) lol. It will be fun to try this mod :D
|
These videos are so depressing to see. Its so sad that after almost 3 years, there has been no attempt from Blizzard at improving micro mechanics.
|
Just tried it. It feels a bit awkward. It may be because it's not done yet.
