Starship Troopers Revisited was a map I made a long time ago and is the first map I ever finished . It was supposed to be a "quick" map for a few friends and I to play on. I kept adding and adjusting until it ended up turning into a prologue for a co-op campaign.

I thought map making and playing of SC was dead since SC2 was coming out. I'm glad to see I was wrong. I never thought anyone(outside of friends) would ever play them. So, basically, I just want ppl to try this map and others, hopefully enjoy them, then let me know what you thought. It's all about the feedback for me. I want to know what other mapmakers and/or gamers think.

Map Info: Co-op, 3 players are absolutely required, Defense map. I try to make my maps difficult. If its a breeze for you, more power to you, but i doubt it. heh
If you do play, just be ready to not focus on anything else for the next 40 min. or so. You wont have the time.

Oh, and if you do enjoy it, sorry to say I never did finish the campaign. I was working on levels 2 and 3 simultaneously. I just never have the time to work on them...
Lvl 2: an installation map where the bugs break-out(of course). A friend described it as a playable movie. Probably because of all the dialogue.(Character intros)
Lvl 3: With the newly met characters, you have to clear a pass of all Arachnids. this is partially accomplished by nuking bug holes.(I love that part)

Wow, after describing them after all this time....I really need to start working on these again....

I too like making my maps difficult! :D Difficult maps are the best, easy ones suck ass in my opinion, but I can see why some people love 'em. Anyways, I played with three and it was pretty difficult but it was fun. Not the greatest triggering or flow since I could tell there were absolutley no hypers, but it was a good time and I could see it being one of those "mass made def maps' like tarpit.

Hopefully you can get those other ones out with more of a story basis, and try to include hypers/dc's for a better flow in the game. I suggest (for those reading this topic) playing it, I found it amusing ^^ , and fun!

And also, i'm sure even AFTER sc2 comes out, scbw will still be massively played. Look at WoW and WCIII, WCII Frozen throne and WCIII Reign of chaos even. Go to consoles, Call of Duty 3 is still played, even though 3+ others have come out since. Keep mapping!

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
