The Co-Op Remaster Project
[ Unsatisfied by the poor writing of most custom campaigns, and the general low-effort of co-op implementations for SC/BW's original campaigns, I've started on this project. The Co-Op Remaster Project or CRP is meant to bring together higher difficulty, proper resource distribution, and EUD enhancement in a way that still gives that classic feel. At times we may have opportunities to add new elements to certain missions or even correct certain elements that may not have been fully thought through. While this project does not have the aims that an outright modded campaign might have, it is our intention to find a Battle.net usable balance that gives more than traditional editing and past attempts have provided. ]
Completed Missions:
-New Gettysburg
https://scmscx.com/map/8rbjf2t8
-While the original was on the Space tileset, its apparent both from other descriptions and SC2 material that this battle was on-planet and not on an orbital platform. To that end it has been reworked on Badlands, with the Zerg containing the Confederates in the North West, Protoss fleets in the South West and North East, and a new Zerg hive cluster in the South East. The surrounding of the spaceport and second Zerg help sell the image of Kerrigan's forces being overrun after the Protoss are defeated. The map adds several EUD units including Rocket Troopers and Striker Frigates.

-Assault On Korhal
https://scmscx.com/map/yTxj6xg2
-The original mission had a UED strikeforce looking to assault fortified positions on the Dominion's capital world somehow landed in the middle of several bases. The reshaping helps show the UED advancing from the West with the Physics Lab positions in the North East and the Nuclear Silos in the South East. It also changes out many standard Terran units for some unique UED ones including Rocket Troopers, Grenadiers, and Phalanxes.

-Omega
https://scmscx.com/map/5HDt53ry
-The reshaping for this map is much more subtle in an effort to better divide resources, expansions, and AI positions. Kerrigan still occupies her central platform with the Dominion flanking her in the West, the UED in the North East, and the Protoss in the South. The additional fortifications on Kerrigan's platform both make sense for what would be her primary hive cluster following her assault on the second Overmind, as well as help players get used to the pace and difficulty of the mission. The Zerg are altered to have Hunter Killers, Leviathans, and the re-enabled venom attack on Defilers.

Future Plans:
There are a number of missions I'd like to tackle but I am trying to target missions that particularly benefit from the goals of the project. If you have a suggestion, please post it below.
