Comments on: Q&A 18: The Map Maker http://www.sc2blog.com/2007/10/22/qa-18-the-map-maker/ The Official Unofficial StarCraft 2 Blog Sun, 14 Mar 2010 21:20:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Dill http://www.sc2blog.com/2007/10/22/qa-18-the-map-maker/#comment-1287 Dill Thu, 25 Oct 2007 19:04:01 +0000 http://www.sc2blog.com/2007/10/22/qa-18-the-map-maker/#comment-1287 It does seem that whoever runs this blog has been a little slow lately. (Though everyone goes through busy or forgetful periods, so this may be one of them, especially with the long times between updates.) In terms of zerg coming out, terrans and protoss were separated for about 2 1/2 months, and blizzcon was in early august, so if there is about the same gap, zerg stuff should be coming out soon. Someone also said, I forget where, that some computer game related event was occurring late October or November, so that would also speak for a possible zerg update than.

Which is why I can't wait to see the upgrades to the new battle net and see their game filter options. I'll put BGH2 on perma-block... Back in my younger cocky tournament days, at the CPL (for a CS tournament go figure) a group of gamers came up asking if I would play some StarCraft with them. I walked over to say hi then noticed they were about to start a BGH game and I said k thx bye. You couldn't pay me to play on a money map I’m glad the SCUMedit 2.0 has gotten these upgrades, alas I foresee big game hunters 2.0 as well :( Big money maps are the bane of pure skill SC play…

Third party programs were needed to use these. [Brett Wood] All units defined in the data files will be usable in the editor. I believe this was true in Warcraft III as well." I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS, I CAN'T IMAGINE THE ENDLESS POSSIBLITIES OF CREATING MY OWN CAMPAIGN SERIES IN SC2. AND NOT TO MENTION THE VARIETY OF UNITS YOU CAN PUT ON THE MAP!!! “Will the new map editor include unused units such as the crashed scouts, turrets, eggs, nukes, scarabs, crash command center, etc?
