For those that don't know, today a Starcraft MMO was launched which can be played on the Arcade right now! Be sure to check out their website and the arcade on battlenet. I decided to make this because I couldn't see it elsewhere. Feel free to discuss it here ^_^
EDIT: Could a Mod change the Forum title to include that it is an MMO? Thanks!
i dont think its a MMO since its not Massive Multiplayer... map is awesome but i hate the camera and the controls i would prefer fixed camera maybe like old final fantasy games or just like diablo or sc2 view even cause like this i spend 90% of time adjusting camera instead of playing
And yes, the controls are pretty poor right now, but you have to consider how it was created. This was created within the limits of the battlenet map editor.

if you make a game within the battlenet editor you have to be aware of what works and what doesnt work well... and i know multiplayer is comming but its not Massive cause max players you can have in a sc2 game is 15 i dont think thats counts as a MMO xp

Like Dota, hopefully one day it can go solo ^_^
I doubt you will be able to go solo unless Blizzard takes the project, since after all it is the "STARCRAFT universe", but nonetheless it looks really good!

I could see it. Valve bought DOTA, for example. And I know that Blizzard has been working with the creators of SCU on making the mod - I'm not sure to what extent their involvement goes, but I know they've at least been in contact.
I would really, really like to see Blizzard take this on as it's own IP. The prologue, while only an hour long, really shows how immersive and engaging an MMO set on the SC universe could be.
I think I would rather see an RPG set in the starcraft universe than a MMO like WoW. Nothing against WoW, but it killed any chance for more Warcraft RTS games, while a RPG will not. Also since there could be only 2 playable races (you can't really make playing a Zerg unit logical) it kinda makes the game bland. I think a RPG without levels will be the best choice, to really make the game "logical".

I agree with this, maybe a TES style single player RPG, that would be great fun =O
