The editor has only been out for a few days but we've already seen many amazing maps being worked on. Almost everything we saw in the blizzcon video has been reproduced in some form or another, except for the elusive Uberlisk!

I don't know about everybody else, but I am super excited for all of the new maps that will be released over time. The starcraft community has always had, in my opinion, the best map making community. I played some RPGs that took 12+ hours to beat and playing them made my jaw drop just seeing all the stuff people were able to get out of the simple Starcraft editor. With Starcraft 2 we have a great new editor that allows for a lot more customizing with greater ease, so I think the map making community will grow even more and produce even greater content.

Right now, 2 days after the editor has been released, there is a First Person Shooter map, multiple 3rd person shooters and action maps, top down space shooter (galaga), top down action shooters, racing games, and all kinds of other various "tech demo" maps that are just there to prove something can be done. Once the publishing system is released we should see a flood of new and amazing maps and genres that people would never think possible in an RTS game.

Yea im super excited about the editor, i did some jass coding for a map making clan in wc3 a few years ago and id like to see what can be done in the new editor. But haven't been able to get a key yet :/

So for anyone that doesnt know already, Starcraft 2 comes out 6/1 and right now you can pre-order a copy for 5 and get a key to play online for the open beta until the game releases. So you can pay 5 and play the game for a month beforehand and decide if you want to get the full version or not.

In other words....GET YOUR ASSES ON HERE

That is all.

House of the Dead 1 and 3 are the bestest best arcade game I have ever played.
