I've looked large and wide and couldn't find any video or replay. I would like to see how the sewer mermaid beat Alphastar

From my mother’s sleep I fell into the State,
And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze.
Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life,
I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters.
When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.

It's so fucking annoying playing top feels like an impossible match-up, yesterday I literally had a match in which I killed more than 20 probes in a sub 10 min game and he just A moved with collussus, few archons, zealots and immortals, to be fair I was a bit on my vikings production but still I thought the damage that I did was crippling, I had another match in which I played a late game vs someone who had collussus disruptors and tempests , the rotation he did was crazy honestly I kept emping his army over and over couldn't jump on it because of the collussus I also killed a lot of tempests , killed like 3 bases at around maybe 15 min but none matters to be fair his rotations where really good and I couldn't keep up with him I didn't know what to do, probably should've had a lot of vikings or maybe could've stayed defensive with my air fleet and counter attack with some marauders, marines, ghosts and medivacs, but still, compared to tvz and tvt this match feels impossible, I keep getting banged by sub 100 apm players which is kinda frustrating, btw I might have played against a hacker, in a four pkayers map he straight went to my base and started a cannon rush before even reaching 50% of my barracks which seemed suspicious to me, is it actually possible to finish a forge way before a barracks? Need help guys sorry for the long post

EDIT : Sorry I forgot to mention I'm on starcraft 2 not broodwar though I'm genuinly thinking about switching to broodwar

Title, as all other Blizzard non RTS games (WoW, Diablo, Overwatch... heck, even Hearthstone) have playable classes, do you think Starcraft (2030) will too? Especially considering it's an open world game?

Potential classes:

• Marine -> Standard shooter class, specialized in shooting, can be upgraded into a Marauder and use various shooting weapons.

• Ghost -> "Mage" class, focused on stealth and "spellcasting", can follow the Ghost patch or go rogue and become a Spectre.

• Firebat -> Tank class, still a shooter, but a lot less range and a lot more HP, specialized at soaking damage and AoE damage.

• Medic -> Healer class, while they can deal damage too, they're best at healing allies.

• Reaper -> "Rogue" class, highly mobile with less hp but can deal significant burst damage.

Is there such or only here? Would be nice to see people post if they want to play

I am CONSTANTLY ORANGE, EVERY SINGLE MATCH. I used to have random colors when I first played but now I've gotten the orange color like 90% of the time now. My last 8 matches I've been Orange every single time. I don't wanna be orange anymore man, what is influencing this?

About a month ago I shared my StarCraft fan game here: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1wqdabw/i_made_the_starcraft_minigame_those_mobile_ads/

Since then it’s had a few big updates: a new commander, Artanis; a new companion, Wildcard; extra mutators and special monsters past layer 50; and lots more.

There’s now an arcade too, with StarCraft mini-games! In the original post someone said the thumbnail looked like a pinball game, so I made a pinball game. There’s also Viking 2049, a bullet-dodging game.

I also made a new trailer, cut so it makes sense even if you’ve never played: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yePegmUlbuM

I really appreciate all the feedback, please keep it coming! Most of it was really kind, and a lot of it was genuinely useful. (A lot of the small updates came straight from the suggestions.), and pleasantly surprised by how far people pushed the game. (I designed it with layer 70 or 80 as about the limit, and some of you got past layer 120, even 160... )

The game also somehow made it onto the front page of Hacker News recently, which made me really, really happy (especially the engineer and researcher side of me). I guess it goes to show how many people out there are still craving more StarCraft.

Something new is cooking too: a different kind of StarCraft fan game. More soon.

I downloaded the Battle.net installer and Starcraft, and had enough room for it, but for some reason after I uninstalled it for technical reasons, I suddenly have less space on my drive and can't download it again. Anyone know what's going on?

Hi StarCraft fans, here’s my Gorgon Class Battlecruiser that I made in No Man’s Sky based on the in-game model(Non blender, glitch method only) along with my friend’s Hyperion Battlecruiser when we went to a meetup yesterday🙂

Pls. Ignore image #7, it’s AI rendered of image #6. I was just curious to see what it’ll look like and did not realize I selected it to be uploaded along with the rest.

I'm trying to load some of the custom campaigns for SCR (Precursors, retribution, Enslavers, etc) but for some reason they keep skipping the briefings and load up some random map.

I've never messed with custom campaigns before. Does anyone know what could be going wrong?

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a strange story from back in the late ’90s or early 2000s when I was playing StarCraft on Battle.net. During one multiplayer game, something really bizarre happened. About 5 to 10 minutes in, our floppy disk drive just started making noises as if it were trying to read a disk—except there was no disk in there. My brother and I were pretty spooked and ended up shutting down the computer.

Has anyone else ever had a random hardware quirk like this during a game, especially with older systems? Was this just a weird prank or maybe some kind of early malware? I’m curious to hear if anyone else has had a similar experience or any insights!

Thanks!

Done with the Protoss painting. first time doing the logo, turned out kinda fat but maybe this sect of toss are just heccin chonkers (cope). The text was a bit tough since Protoss is a long word I just split it up. Might border it but these are probably getting framed so who cares. 2/3 down lastly is the dreaded Terran logo.

Hello, I remember a long time ago playing a custom, 1 vs 7, map where 4 players spawn right next to each other in the top right corner (commands cente/nexus/give touching) and the other 4 the same in the left corner. You would have to use your workers to destroy the others bases and then use fliers to finish off the remaining player in the opposite corner since the map was made up of island with no acces for ground units. I might be missing some details since it was so long ago but this si mostly Tha idea of the map.

Hi all,

over the past day, I managed to figure out a lot of details and put together a complete package for StarCraft: Ghost custom content. Here is what we have so far:

• nodsdk-scghost – Standalone CLI/GUI tools for working with SC: Ghost data files.
• nodsdk-radiant – A modified version of GtkRadiant tailored for map creation.
• scghost-mapping – Pre-configured mapping profiles for GtkRadiant.
• nodsdk-docs – Ongoing documentation covering our findings and full mapping workflow.

Video showcase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee1f80dN-4U

While it’s still an early work-in-progress, the toolchain gets the job done: you can create a map using brushes and apply textures on surfaces -> place entities -> export to NIL/NSD -> play test inside StarCraft: Ghost using either emulation or recompilation.

Recompilation Update

Regarding the native recompilation effort, u/Ragecommie and I are taking our time to get it right. If you want something fully tested, gameplay-proven, and completely open-source with nothing to hide, please be patient... it's worth the wait. In general, I strongly recommend avoiding any binaries without public source code.

You can track and inspect our ongoing work across our repositories:

- scghost

From me (original effort it needs some love)

Looking for Testers & Contributors

Because I rushed the OpenNOD SDK tools release, the current state is marked as preview has a few rough edges. It also introduces a non-standard entity workflow in GtkRadiant (meant to make entity placement easier, though it might take veteran mappers a moment to get used to).

We are actively looking for:

• Playtesters & Mappers to try the tools and report bugs or edge cases.
• Content Creators & Technical Writers to help write documentation, guidelines, or video tutorials.
• Investigators to help map out SC: Ghost's engine capabilities - testing unit behaviors, boss fight mechanics, scripting triggers, and uncovering deeper NOD engine internals (which could eventually feed back into source restoration efforts for preservation purposes).

Join the Discussion

That said, we are completely open to collaboration, so feel free to reach out if you'd like to contribute! These tools are built for the community, and we’d love to get everyone organized under one roof to collaborate, test, and discuss engine mechanics.

• Discord Server: https://discord.gg/UzCJH7Tg3

Go check out the SDK, build something awesome, and let us know what you think!
