We're proud to present the top ten Arcade games for our StarCraft II "Rock the Cabinet" contest. Now we need your help to nominate the final five. Check out and play the games below, and vote for your favorite in our poll.
You will find the voting poll into the link (just above) provided as the source. On a personal note, I would like to express my disappointment in regards to not seeing Ahli's Diablo map as being part of the selected Top 10. I am, however, quite excited to see that Star Party was selected, and definitely hope it will get the First Prize.
N.B. I stole Devlin's template for the RTC contest. I am using this Nota Bene to thank and credit him for it.
I am thinking about donating my ticket to SEN for a nice contest reward. If someone wants to host a contest with this reward, let me know! I'll also give some money to Devourer and Devlin. You'll just have to wait a bit before I have time to do so. :3
You should give it to him, not me. Thank you, though.
You've been paying for this website for a little while without getting much, if at all, profit out of it. If it wasn't for SEN, I would possibly not have known English as much as I currently do, and quite probably would never have gotten into map-making.
Well, I didn't have enough internet time to edit my post, but after posting this, I realized it was only the public vote part of the process: Blizzard will now decide which of the Top 5 will get into the Top 3.
DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.
Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?

Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
