Woah

I love it. I think it's a fun FPS that sort of combines TF2 and a MOBA. I think the tongue-in-cheek approach they're taking to certain characters is great, and I'm assuming this will be an awesome stepping stone into a new IP/universe.

The one thing I think they should change is the ability to have multiple of the same character on a team. I saw one game with 6 Reinhardts on one side, and nothing could kill them. Balancing for that would be such a huge pain.

One time, we ended up with 3 Widow-Makers on our team. The other team never even got to leave their spawning building... 2 of the opponents had 0 points at the end of the game. It was sad. :(

I hope they'll provide players with a Map Editor. There were definitely too few maps.

Woah

I'm sure there will be many more maps by the time this thing hits beta. It would be silly for there not to be.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
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

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
