SC2 Custom Map Ideas

Every time blizz releases an RTS, the first thing i do is pop open the map editor and go to town, I plan on having a finished playable map the night of the SC2 release, though i haven't decided what kind to make yet...

Probably will end up making an open ended RPG of some kind with static AI factions, assuming they implement more flexible AI in this editor.

Feel free to post some ideas

 

If there's a SC2 DotA I will have a video of me sticking my hand in a blender put up on YouTube.

That rabid fanboy creation device will not touch my beloved Starcraft 2.

 

i plan on releasing the first sc2 risk... 'R.I.S.K Gold v1.0' ...and ill release my map before yours. we should have some competitions for speed mapping, quality mapping, and use of the new options mapping the night it comes out.

 

Speed mapping huh? Sounds like fun, i think a 3 hour time limit is reasonable for a playable map. Any less and the maps made wouldn't be worth playing. Myself, it'll probably take me an hour just to find my way around the new editor.

 

Pff. Nobody will hear from me the day it's released, since I'm locking myself in the office with enough Dr. Pepper to last me the entire campaign.

 

the new editor will probably make me... nvm, i still cant say that on these forums.

...and root beer > all other soda...

anywho, im jsut hoping the map editor is amazing enough that R.I.S.K doesnt look crappy.

P.S. i voted that map editors scare me, because even though i am fluent in every single editor, and i have created a couple well-known maps, they still scare me whenever an error pops up or when their amazing corrupting powers are revealed when i forget to save a backup.

 

Well I'd lock my self in my room with no food or water just playing Sc2.

An impossible map would be nice, everone would be arguing how shit works and I'd be able to flame nubs for attempting to use a Roach to take out 3 siege tanks.

 

Willy: DotA originates from StarCraft. It's going to happen, so I'd retract that hand-blender thing if I were you.

 

i was thinking of a game that would be like this

Name: Capture the Zerglings

Description: Each player will start out with a mothership with Infinite energy and only one ability, time bomb, and maybe even forcefield and each player would have a path that they control, they cannot move into other peoples paths, now as the game progresses zerglings run down each players path and each player has to use timebomb to capture them, when zerglings are captured the exact number caught in the time bomb field is counted by a counter and at the end of 10 minutes whoever has the most captures, wins.

 

I would not create anything, but Im sure DotA will be there in perhaps 1 month... Ill not risk to join it, because its gonna make me addict

 

Tower defense with the new mint looking Nomad turrets

And perhaps something difrent once I got my head around the editor.

 

How is there going to be any dota when there are no leveling? Ehh.. they will find something up.

 

Blizzard stated that the heroes and all that crap can be made in the map-editor (aka Warcraft 3 heroes).

 

I didn't just hear that.

And I'm still going on a date with that blender.

 

Mothership wars. When your Mothership dies you lose. Units spawn according to kills at Mothership location, hf gl.
A guy did this in Sc with command centers lol, all he had to do is add turrets to follow the CC so it make the CC look like its shooting. And of course Marines would spawn at the Mothership where you could control them. Much like amoeba wars.

Imagine ''Can you do 25 tricks'' map in Sc2

Nomad wars would be fun. Strategicially place your turrets

 

actually, thats not entirely true, Aeon of Strife originated, but it was a different type of gameplay than DotA. AoS was awesome, DotA was all about PvP.

 

Count me in on this map-making contest. I got tons of ideas flying through my head, can't wait to try 'em out n see what works.

BTW, Mountain Dew is the life-blood soda of gaming, period. ^_^

 

Just got an idea for a map. Each player has a command center in flight (that can shoot defensively), they can't control where it goes, since it goes directly towards the nearest minerals on the map (which spawn randomly).

They have to build an army from the CC and keep it alive while killing their opponents, and to spice things up the region the minerals spawn in gets smaller and smaller as the game progresses, until everyone basically converges in the middle.

 

I bet someone is gonna make a StarCraft 1 UMS, using all the old StarCraft models that blizzard will include in the game (they will, for real) of the old SC1 units.

And ofcourse, somebody is gonna make the obligatory Money Map

 

Oh god. A Starcraft 2 Fastest Possible Map would make me shoot all of it's fans, then myself.
But I'd play a Starcraft 1 game with SC2 graphics. I'm so cool.

And I bet someone out there is going to recreate a SC1 campaign in the SC2 Editor.
