SC2 Beta Will Include Map Editor

Awesome news! Maybe we can make and play some maps while we wait for those of us who don't get into the beta If that happens then along with beta videos it'll be just like playing the full game to me but Blizzard gets more time to make it perfect. Sounds good to me

 

Somebody should review the editor in that case. You know, show the possibilities..

 

Wow, I did not expect the editor to come with the beta.

 

me neighter

 

It would be hilarious if there were Xel'Naga units, and other campaign spoiling units (Infested [insert name of someone not yet infested] ) in the beta editor.

 

I'm sure there will be some teasers.

By the way, a request to people who have the editor: please make a map with all units in a row. Then scroll over them and record it. Would be awesome. Recording some attacks and abilities would be awesome too. We could use the footage for in the unit database.

 

Hopefully we can test out the 'use map settings' function. See how it works.

 

I hope it ships with the beta. That will give IceFrog a chance to make DotA on SC2's engine

 

I seriously doubt that Blizzard will release a full map editor with the beta. My guess is it is going to be restricted in the triggers department and maybe even restricted to just the ability to create terrain and designating start locations.

 

Way to be negative.
I really doubt you would be able to make triggers in beta. To much secuirity leaks and stuff. You know, with the C code and stuff. My guess is that creating terrain and-or units will be the only options you get.

 

Well, we're back to square one with the editor

 

By the way, why isn't the thread title edited yet? Most of the time Jon adds *hoax* at these occasions. :s

I nearly got a heart-attack there. If icefrogs joins the starcraft 2 community he and his "mates" should be IP banned! They destroyed on community, dont let them destroy another one...

And yeah, gonna be fun fooling with the editor!
