Great video. Must see. I can already see the modders groaning.

This video was great. Although there weren't much Battle.Net glitches from around 2001 that were shown. Brought back memories though.

I remember the days of sliding command centres (the 1.00 one)

Not a single word about Extended Unit Death Triggers...

I saw this a long time ago, still a great video.

It could've been a better video, but still pretty good. I wasn't around when blizzard released the replay and the balancing patches

I'll tell you the history of patches:
1.07 fixed a bug involving floating drones
1.08 fixed a.. nvm we just don't want stargraft modding out game
1.11b we heard that people did memory edits with some kind of beta program, so we patched sc!
1.12 patch for memgraft 1.11b
1.13e we killed UEDS, ya
1.14 screw you DoA
1.5.1 screw you DoA, again.

yup, sc in less than 7 minutes

Anyway, back on topic, yeah I thought it would have more stuff that was patched, like freezing turrets, floating drones, mention at least ueds and so on. It still is a good video, though. lol at the tank part

There's a patch where Blizzard mocked anybody using the Siege Tank under Terran Buildings.

good times I miss them =[.

They forgot the most important change ever in a patch

You can still do that by ordering them to JYD during their landing phase.


Freezing turrets is still possible, and with hacks you can still float drones.

Now, on to the video
Very nice summary, I loved the font I came into it about 1.12 so I didn't know about most of these problems, it's funny to hear about them though. I just hope they learned a bit with SC2.

I don't know why you guys are so critical. He's clearly not a mapper or modder.

What's the name of the map where you kill all those medics? And, what is sliding Command Centers?

Sliding command centres is where you lift off and then land your command centre, and upon it landing it will slide slowly to any location you desire regardless of terrain. People used this exploit to move their command centres closer to minerals so they would get resources faster (since the SCVs didnt have to travel as far).

you can also crush thigns with CCs.
Damm, CCs are so fun
Also, he forgot the patch that made infested terrans unable to be built

Can you do Tricks maps are totally destroyed now, well not all parts of it. Anyone remembers floating templar? Lol

One thing they didnt fix still are crystal archons. (Made from statis fielding a warping archon at just the right moment. When they spawn they can still attack/move/whatever, but they still have the cool stasis crystal on them.)

You can still crush a tank, too. I tried it just now.



EDIT: he said it:

That is Blizzards little joke to anyone who tries to exploit that glitch.
