I just started creating a THE THING map just like the broodwars version, just wondering if anyone else out there has already made a version for sc2, anyway i just got the hang of using the new map editor and could use any tips/ improvements on the original version of THE THING. I'm also wondering what size map i should use.I'm going to make a third person version and a overhead original-like version.
I did see a mediocre Thing map in the game list. I would suggest checking around to see if there are any projects for the map, otherwise go ahead! I wouldn't mind seeing multiple remakes if it means there will be at least one good one.
I'm about 60% done with a "Changeling" map~ same premise as The THING, with some cool twists.
8 Player map, 3rd person camera, 1 is a changeling in disguise (with cool custom abilities).
Day night cycle- at night, progressively stronger, randomly generated zerg forces invade from 4 choke points.
Items, Equipped weapons/ammo, money is made by selling rare ore (spawned randomly in the mine, and droppped by invading zerg forces). 'Supply' system (inspired by The Thing's temperature system): you can hold up to 50 'supply' (vespene gas), which is consumed slowly over time.
Supply can be used for special abilities, and is dropped via dropship every other day. Extra supply can be bought from the Vendomaticâ„¢.
@greythepirate-> I've never played changeling before but it sounds like a lot of fun, a I'll have to check it out. I love me some classic Thing, it's always fun when 5-7 people gang up on the wrong person and get wiped out from behind :O. I'll probably make a spin off version of THE THING with some TPS and other things.
@anguule-> I've been looking and couldn't find much so I just went ahead and started making the map :)

That sounds interesting, how is the map progressing? Is it available for download or in Battlenet?

hey which map of the thing are you talking about???????????
The thing Ice v where everyone has to collect a bunch of stuff from around the map to reveal who is the thing.
or the other one where it is just 8 people on a map and one is the thing, plain and simple.

im working on a bigger version of the thing but noone will answer my questions on map development so im putting it on hold
i think he's talking about the 8 players 1 is the thing, and thats what im making as well
