I get dropped in probably every second game I play on SC. Do you know why? I don't have lag, and everything seems, fine, until I get the countdown box.

Relatively ancient and inactive

You must be reaaaaaly nasty on SC :P.

Well, mind giving us more info? I don't think this is 'supposed' to happen no matter what, so its probably some side-effect of something else. Does your internet sometimes turn off? Do you use a wireless USB adapter? If so, is it snug as a bug? Do you disconnect from bnet after dropping from the game? Any other processes on? Is someone else using teh internetz? Stuff like that. When I had this problem (WoW and WCIII) it was because my wireless USB adapter was crapping out. I disconnected from the internet all the time, and had to take out and put back in (and perform a ritual of turning off/on all six network processes... Creepily enough, it worked...) to get it to work for a set amount of time.. it was pretty nasty.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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