+ Show Spoiler +Some Spanish Starcraft gamers are working on a pretty cool mod, basically placing Starcraft 2 units into Starcraft to be exact. So to those of you guys that can't wait, try out their mod  Hopefully some of you guys can speak enough Spanish to help these guys with with any bugs you find, or recommendations.
It looks pretty funny, and I'm sure if beta is pushed back to late summer, it'll make for an interesting game! It needs 1.15.1 to work though so just be wary

Saw this on digg just a few minutes ago, and yeah it looks pretty nifty.
I wonder how they implement things like the nighthawk's new missile and the autoturret and the queen.

The nighthawk's Missile is a tough one I'd imagine. They have to design one missile for ATA and another one for ATS since Starcraft doesn't have any one object that can move like that. I wonder if they could make a scarab shoot from ATA.

Solo judging it based on this picture, I don't think so, but I'm sure that can be changed.

Neat, I'm sceptical of it working tho ^^.
|
haha this is gonna be fun to see ^^ man, they even changed the minerals, this is so cool.
|
Lol seems like they have soo much free time
Pretty impressive so far ^_^
|
Ha this might be perfected just in time for the Beta.
|
Hehe this is kind of funny in its concept.
"Hey lets mod a game to be its future sequel"
Looks quite good though, so congrats to the makers.

I thought the same thing, but they seemed to have a weird perspective of their buildings =(

Blizzard should have just done this.

Yes I think this somewhat proves that 2D clearly looks better as a game for speculation. Who needs fancy shading & lighting effects when gameplay is what really matters.

Word. Or just scrap the sequel and leave us with our 2D legendary game!

I'm sure in a days time, some team is going to create a UMS map with the original stats of SC.

lol that's pretty cool.
I think the biggest reason why 3D games tend to be more difficult to spectate is because of all the effects filters they add in...like light rays and dust and fog and all that shit. CnC3 was the first RTS I saw that really did that heavily...and while it looked awesome for the player, it was hard to follow for anyone else.
That's why WC3 is still not bad. It's still just very straightforward...units and buildings and terrain on screen.
The colors in SC2, though, are so bled out...and the lighting effects kill distinguishability.
