I've been fiddling around with things when trying to get various downloaded maps to work, and now can't work out how to open custom maps anymore.
All the advice I can see says drag and drop the file onto the "run starcraft" icon, but all this does is open the regular launcher and then the regular game. I've tried selecting "open with" but the only one that does anything is using the starcraft 2 launcher, and that just does the same thing.
Not saying don't do anything new. In fact I'd love some decent new campaigns. But if we're doing remakes, may as well do a SC2 build remake.
"no, I don't want to see infestor or anything from sc2 in sc1 campaign, because infestor did nothing with sc1 actualy didn't exist in the year of sc1. Also it would ruin the balance"
Im not looking for a lore overhaul here, it wouldnt have to make sense in a time line. If you really needed it to then maybe everything happened four years later.
And I think the balance of SC2 multiplayer is extremely good. Each race feels more distinctive than they did in SC1 where Protoss felt to me like expensive terran, and you can find people arguing that every race is overpowered. If they all are, none are.
I've been seeing a lot about the remake of starcraft and brood war done in the starcraft 2 engine.
I was wondering if there were any plans to do something similar, but using the starcraft 2 tech tree, units, buildings, etc.
I really like the level design and everything of the remake, I just don't see the point in doing 99% of everything the same. May as well just play the original.
But the original missions using things like vikings, void rays, motherships, infestors, etc sounds like it would be great.
I always thought that Starcraft 2 pretty much gets it right in terms of making the game faster paced, frantic and strategic.
Considering that all the map work and things have already been done, it doesn't even seem like it would take that long to strip out the SC1 units and replace them.

This may sound stupid..

How do I actually play a map?

Hey all.
I've been seeing a lot about the remake of starcraft and brood war done in the starcraft 2 engine.

Anyone interested in this, or just me?
