Play as a sheriff in pursuit of the notorious train robber Blackthorn across the Mar Sara wasteland. Assist the Dominion Military and battle the Zerg en route to catching your prey.

This was one of the first maps to combine third person shooter action with numerous Cinematics and it still holds up pretty well.

Features:

* Story driven, third person shooter, action adventure.

* W,A,S,D movement system.

* Mouse aim combat system.

* Use a rifle or a grenade launcher (left click and right click of the mouse)

* Numerous cinematics.

* Engaging boss battle.

Special thanks to:

* Qancakes for letting me use his movement and combat system. Check out his kickass map Perdition at http://www.sc2mapster.com/maps/perdition/

* SCMapper for figuring out how to make units "jump" in his ongoing World of Starcraft project. check it out at http://www.sc2mapster.com/maps/smooth-3rd-person-movement/

I remember a major bug about the jump: after I left the zerg cut-scene, I started to hand around and (I think) after jumping while on the edge of the map, whenever I'd jump, the screen would get a weird camera angle before returning to normal angle.
Also, you might want to improve the aiming system by not auto-aiming targets: the map is way too easy. ;o

This guy pretty much has the tps aspect down, as well as a couple more cool features.

This looks very nice.

I myself am interested in dabbling in a TPS kind of gameplay creation. Would you happen to know if there is a way I could contact Qancakes for his permission at basing my work off his combat system, as you have? All credit would be given where it's due, naturally.

Qancakes is relatively active in here.
You can send him a PM and he should answer within some days. :)

Thanks! Haha, I didn't know he was a regular here, since I'm still new around these parts and all.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
