I quite enjoyed the first missions, I thought the idea of using the Leviathan backdrop and SM characters for the Launcher was awesome. I didn't notice any gameplay glitches, and in the first mission I think you captured the cavelike, winding cliffs of a snowy valley pretty well. Mission 2 felt like I was back on Kaldir.
My only comment would be that Archons attack godly fast - whether this is just a SCMR thing I never noticed is unclear, but man they rip through your forces like nobody's business XD Maybe tone that down a bit, in the early missions your only meatshields are Zerglings and they get shred really easily as a result. It isn't really an issue, as you could just fall back and make more, but it somewhat forces you to resort to poking tactics. Also, the Archons turn green when they attack. I'm not sure what that's about.
For a future mission, do you like the idea of a "hold out" or "defend the allied base" type mission? I think a holdout would be nice where you need to defend yourself for a certain period of time, get reinforcements, and then clear your way out. Or a mission where your allied base is controlled by that new Cerebrate and he'll be able to train elite Zerg breeds, and sorta go at the Protoss like an AI tug-of-war. Just throwing things out there, I'm liking it so far.
Edit: I agree with TChosenOne - the AI does not have enough production to keep up with rebuilding lost preplaced units so just opt for stronger waves - this can be offset by a slightly longer delay, although I wouldn't increase it too much. Mission 2 felt really campy in the sense that you could only push against the main base while camping in the third and holding off the flanking Scouts and main attack forces.
