![]() Nice trailer, Egrem.

But I guess I'm more just foncused overall; what's all this about "arcade"? I get that they have the game broken into 3 "installments" (WoL, HotS, LotV), and I know I can get a "starter edition" for free through Battle.net, but I don't know all that that entails.

They could advertise it better then. With the so many F2P players they have it wouldn't be hard to slap a banner in the client or some shit. Since months ago.

![]() What about assets or other stuff from expansions? I remember in SC1 when you put in a unit or a map tileset from Brood War, you wouldn't load it in a game without Brood War. Can you, in SC2 Arcade, just load stuff with parts from Swarm (and in the future, from Legacy) for free?

![]() The only pay aspect of SC2 is the campaigns and access to campaign assets for map making. Otherwise, multiplayer and custom map play is all free. You don't need Heart of the Swarm to access Heart of the Swarm assets when playing, only if you're a map maker.
So when you buy LOTV, you're buying the campaign only. The standalone thing only means you don't need SC2/Heart of the Swarm to play Legacy of the Void. You can jump into that campaign straight up from buying it. So if you don't care anything about the campaigns (Which you can watch on youtube/twitch anyways), SC2 in all its multiplayer glory is F2P. |

![]() I don't consider it too poor marketing they advertised it to death way back when it launched and it comes up often on the Sc2 part of the Battle.net client. The likes of IGN etc even reviewed it a second time giving it even more press outside of Blizzard with a ton of streamers getting on board.

Starcraft cannot do HD models, but Starcraft II can. The most recent patch for Starcraft II contains all of the regular assets for Warcraft III, as well as some assets that have been updated to HD. Hope that helps.

![]() Dudes like Triceron and Ujimasa Hojo might be able to answer this more effectively, but is there any other solution to how trees work in SC2 that doesn't require Blizzard to basically do custom coding to support them?

![]() They're pretty lame, at least last time I used them, and I don't think they could have changed.
You're required to make instances of each effect, each model, and each everything involved in something. And duplicating ruins everything. Whereas in Warcraft III the object editor was super easy to use. It's too complicated, and for no real use. It needs a "dumb mode" urgently, so that you don't have to lose so much time doing a simple change.

And yeah, looks like a huge fuck up. Also, don't forget about the cliff limitations. Cliffs were pretty important in W3 for damage reduction and whatever, here they don't have anything like that, and also, W3 had 11+ cliff levels, while SC2 has only 3, and one of them is aesthetic and useless, like W3 water before TFT.

Honestly, WC3/SC1's mechanic of '% chance to miss when shooting up a cliff' was a little too arbitrary for my tastes.
