Using the Mobile Grid, the camera not only follows the Marine you control, the camera will view what is ahead of where the Marine is going.

Pretty nifty, but why not just move the screen around?

...first of all, it's a concept. Second of all, it's more of a RPG and Sniper purpose. Your response is an insult. :-_-:

I can definitely see this being used in a unique sniper map.

Hmm pretty cool. But when you walk diagonal, it moves too much to be comfortable.

It depends, sometimes the Marine enters both locations in a form of X and Y axis. Diagonal should not be a problem unless you have enabled the triggers that I have disabled within the map.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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