Welcome to the New World of 3D Starcraft.

Starcraft has become one of the most played games in the world and as players eagerly await the release of Starcraft 2, ive created these Starcraft 2 Concept Maps, to allow for players to experience Starcraft as they have never done before. Totally converted for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, each map comes with lots of new player features, including new units and Abilities taken from the Starcraft's Ghost Game as well as new material from Starcraft 2.

Starcraft 1.5 Homepage: http://www.moddb.com/mods/6470/starcraft-15-3d-conversion-maps

This is my very own Starcraft project. Ive been working on this for around 4 years now and basically ive been converting warcraft III maps into Starcraft maps including everything from Starcraft from units/buildings to abilities and upgrades. Ive designed both Multiplayer and Campaign maps from actual Starcraft maps used on bnet today and from the Campaign missions found in Starcraft.

On the homepage you'll find lots of screenshots and a couple of video clips showcasing what the maps look like ingame and though i know its nothing like Starcraft 2 graphics wise ive incorpated as much Starcraft 2 & Starcraft Ghost data as i can.

@Night - Well done on the video clips, i must say that your editing skills on the whole game is very impressive. I played one of the maps about a year ago on Warcraft III and i think you were there playing against me o.o I remember because one of the guys was telling me all the information about the map and everything, I'd only guess that it was you ^^ io.

hahaha probably was me, i havent been online much the last 6 months or so it was very hard hosting the maps online becuz of their huge size. Mate if your interested in playing again i need beta testers to help me test the new updates atm. If your interested i can add you to the list and u can try the new updates out with me.

I'll pm you my msn, but I go on so rarely that you will probably get a better hold of me through pms on this site.

Not bad at all, but have you heard of Project Revolution?.. aren't they doing the same thing you're doing, only with more people, more resources, and more poly's?

yes ive heard of Project Revolution, you'll find the too projects are different. You see PR are just making a conversion of the original SC and SC:BW game whereas im making a starcraft ghost/starcraft 2 conversion. PR limit themselves to original units only whereas i can add material from any Starcraft game which ive done. Yes PR might have all the original SC units and they might look better but they pretty much look just like SC 1 just 3D, Its even difficult to install and requires u no longer be able to play wc3 anymore one its installed. Whereas my project are just custom maps that u can share with anyone and play by yourself and online. The choice is yours whos project you decide to go with but i prefer mine over PR just becuase it has all the SC: Ghost and SC 2 material to make it more exciting to play. I wanted to bring that material into the maps to allow for players to try the new upgrades blizzard has been making and not need to go to BlizzCon to try SC 2.

Its been a month since the last news update and i promised myself to post another batch of news the following month. So the good news is, the new map versions are in the final stages of development. With the months and months of work updating/developing and bug fixing from the version maps pack v5 ive finally completed the next set of updates and have already update all 9 sc maps. Ive also began making new maps to increase the amount of map variety for the project.

At this stage ive complete an extra 4 new maps and am now deciding on if any more new maps should be made. New maps round from Blood Bath, 4v4 Zero Clutter, 2v2 Zero Clutter and a 6 player Lost Temple map. But im considering other original sc maps to add to this maps pack.

A new units pack wont come out for a few more weeks as im rushing to get the new maps pack out asap for everyone. But The new units pack will have all the new and improved models/skins plus all the sc 2 material ive added to the new map versions.

To finsih this news batch off, ive obtained some new ingame screenshots which were taken during final beta testing. Ive had to make a few little changes with terrain and some minor bugs but other then that this is the new look to expect in the new map versions.

Enjoy
