every once and a while i test Saw 4 on Battle.net... (1-6 players)

almost everyone that plays agrees that it is a kick ass map!!!!
total fun but keeping the suspence from the movie thrillers!
You basicaly control one civilian going around through traps
You can help your teamates out or let them die off one by one.... messed up!
i currently have 9 room traps made and working on final 10th room... I usually test past 10pm
so hope to see ya under Jigsaw's next Killer Thriller

Bolshevik2_ ENJOY

deadline suspected 2 weeks or less (i do have a job...)

Well, i would like to see if the map is as u say that others say "it is a kick ass map", mostly b/c most of these games were created by noobs that want to try to make an awesome map based on the real movie... [ i wish there was a pain maker type thing that when u get ur civ gets hurt from the traps, u actually feel the pain and think ur dieing... and then it stops with pain, and u find out u lost and are alive and not actually hurt, awesome tech idea? i think so] SO back to the topic... like i said, i hope it is a "Kickass map" and not a noobish looking map thing ie, Saw III by some guy on B.Net

ok well its not really based off the movie but someone made a saw 3 so i just made it saw 4.
most of the traps are original (drowning, electric floors, nail guns etc)
but yeah sounds noobish but i've played it quite a bit online and most people stick around and play a few games
so i'm comfortable to say that You'l enjoy it and want more...

thanx

Thigh high affectionado

I do belive its customary to tell "New" members around here, to really warm up to sen before they post.

- We don't really know you yet, and what people we don't know say is really non-creditable
- You need to post more about your map before expecting to get a tester who really knows triggers, can help (Incase you encouter a bug they might be able to fix)
- Some mistakes with your paragraph, missing capitalzation, extra usage of Exlamation points, etc.

So before this goes the wrong way, Look at others posts, and see how things roll here, before you mess up your image.

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?
[04:25 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.

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
