I hope you guys are enjoying your April fools, but I want to point you to this one:

http://www.starcraft2.com/features/terran/taurenmarine.xml

Yes, it is an April fools joke, but don't forget that blizzard said that any units not actually put in the final melee/campaign game will still all be usable in the Map editor. And from what you can see, it is a real unit so you should expect to be able to use Tauren Marines in the map editor ;)

Like someone else said,
TAUREN BLOOD

Now all we have to do is prevent DotA.

Because it will quickly take over, becoming #1 most popular game and halving the amount of times other games are hosted, and the communities' a bitch.

It's better than Tarpit D :P

And perhaps they just used the skills of the new editor to quickly make a new unit with their own models?

Doesn't matter. A Tauren Marine is a freakin beast. Seriously, don't fuck with a mad cow.

I think it's pretty cool how they put random elements of WC into SC and vice versa. Such as the Hydralisks, Zerglings, Marines, and Orc-Firebats in WC3. And this type of thing, lulz.

It was like a metal confetti explosion.

I would be ok with dota if It wasnt hosted too much. Every other game or so on the list is dota. Someone needs to make a filter that blocks dota for non-dota-custom-map players.

If other Warcraft maps were remotely as interesting as DotA, perhaps that wouldn't happen.

Games other than DotA are WMW, "NAKED ANIME GIRL!", or the occasional Footman wars, etc.

Besides, if I host something else, people still join. The abundance of DotA games on Warcraft is not a bad thing.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
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.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
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:
