• War4craft : the Battle Realms Beta

  Posted by Sixen Jun 11, 2013 at 00:49 UTC

  The Battle.net Desktop App Beta just went live today! It's pretty awesome thus far and will only get better as it moves further into development.

  War4craft : the Battle Realms by Sanguinax

  Not too long ago we featured War4Craft as a tech demo/proof of concept; it's recently gone into public beta. The project isn't particularly a Warcraft 3 clone, but more like a Warcraft strategy game with World of Warcraft models. Regardless, it still looks and feels like the old Warcraft RTS games we all know and love, so enjoy your blast from the past!

• New "Spawning" Feature

  Posted by zeldarules28 Jun 04, 2013 at 18:02 UTC

  New Spawning Feature

  A brand-new "Spawning" feature has been added to sc2. From now on, every member of a party has the same access to the game as the person with the highest expansion level in the party. In other words, if a starter edition player is in a party with a WoL player, he can access the WoL ladder, custom games, and arcade. The same thing goes for HotS- any WoL player can access the HotS ladder as long as a HotS player is in their party. This means that the HotS-only arcade is now available to WoL players as long as they have a friend with HotS willing to play with them.

  As an added bonus, using this feature will unlock a starcrafts in-game portrait.

  Here's the official Blizzard post on it.

  Let us know what you think here!

• Gladiator Arena

  Gladiator Arena by Clownz

  In this map you control a gladiator (1-6 players) and fight through a series of boss battles, which require dodging and learning each boss's unique mechanics. When you defeat a boss, you gain new equipment and items to strengthen your gladiator, which saves from game to game so that the more you play, the stronger you get. Feel free to check out Blizzard's interview with Clownz as well!

• Infested Arena 3

  Infested Arena 3 by Etravex

  Infested Arena 3, like its predecessors, places four players in an arena setting whereby their objective is to survive each successive round. At the beginning of the match each player will get the opportunity to choose their Specialist (or Hero). Each Specialist is different and has a unique play style. The more Infested you kill the stronger you can make your specialist. Your Specialist will never die; instead, when your specialist reaches 0 health he goes into an incapacitated state. You must wait in this Incapacitated state for a duration of time before your specialist will get on his feet again. If all current players' Specialists get Incapacitated at the same time then the game will end in defeat.

  SquadCraft2 by Trieva
