Since I was like 5 years old starcraft has been my all time favorite game, Ever. Like seriously. Totally.

Started like 4-5 years ago when i was 10. My cousin had sc form her bf and she shown it to me. I was like ''Yea so what, lets play smash!''. But she tryed and tryed again, and, like 2 months after, she gave it to me. I installed it and finished the campaings with cheats (meh i suck ar RTS games). The starting event is when i went on MULTIPLAYAH!

I finished the game and was bored of pwning comps using show meh dah moneh so i sayd: Hey, lets use cheats and kik some ppl on internet! This is when i got enlightened.

At first, i kept being killed by 8 marines rush, i was always making 30 peons before making any army. But when i saw the 1337 RPG that hooked me, i was jubilating! Forgotten caves, it is the ULTIMATE rpg on vanilla sc!

Then, some time after, i sayd to myself: Hey, why not making my OWN rpg!?!?1?!?1?
Well, it was a fun map, newb triggers, healing by removing and re-crating units caus i was a newb, but it was a cool zombie map... but mised professionalism.

The only map i finished up to today , i made it when i started being an average map maker. It was called: Kill george bush!
Man ppl joined the game to kill me at start... its then taht my dad told me that it was politically dumb to call it ''Kill bush''... i was like; WHat? everyone hates him, why not? (i am canadian) he sayd: No, WE hate him, but the americans elected him, they must like him... somehow...

So then i changed it to Kill binladen RPG, it was fun and well balanced. Anyway, it's map making that hooked me, precisely, the fact that i can make any rpg and story i want (WAZZAH!)

I started about 5 years ago too. Before starcraft i was addicted to starwars force commander (still an awsome game) One of my friends always talked about sc, and he let me play it afew times on b-net. I remember my first game was a comp stomp, i didnt help at all then all my team mates betrayed me. One day when we were in oregon me and my bro bought the battle chest at a costco, so we had a week of looking at the tech tree and all that untill we actually got to play it. I had it on a computer at my dad's dental office where i had to wait 2 hours each day after school. I started playing battle net, got hooked on ums, then i started mapping, more ums, then i joined clan AE, then that fell apart, so i restarted the clan. I had about 25 members at one time, but then i left and joined clan Orig.
There i really got good at mapping, i started terraining and using sen and maplantis alot. After a year or so of that, i started modding, and ive been modding and terraining ever since.

UMS started me on starcraft, its so cool how you can really make anything, and its so fun making maps and watching people's reactions when they play it. Clans are fun too, clan O was awsome. I dont even play on b-net now, i used to have dial up and it owned, i could even host maps. But now we have satilite and a router... so it killed me on battle net. But i still play, just modding and terraining.

I bought the game because of the Quake Team Fortress UMS map, I thought it was amazing. Then I found Sniper Paintball, and the community around that map has lasted for 8+ years. People keep learning new tricks even now. The game is a lot more complex than most people realize.

A friend who wouldn't shut up about it.

Wow. This topic is really touchy-feely.
That girl sounds hot. That's my type of chic.

My distant cousin visited us once from hong kong, and he brought starcraft. I liked it because of the melee games, but when I found the editor and UMS, I was hooked. I think, though, the editor is what really kept me in it all these years, and most importantly, the map-making capability makes starcraft one of the most awesome games ever; there are an infinite number of possiblities and scenarios because the players can create their own.

She already had a husband and 2 kids (Altho the kids weren't hers )

To elaborate further...
Clan Orig was great... it kept going and going.. almost dying twice (now it's really dead i believe (cause i don't go there anymore :C))... I made more and more maps..

Teh List .. Starred ones were/are popular


Oh man I learned so much from all of these..
I learned hyper trigs from Random Fighterz ..
I have completely forgotten what Crash Ball was!! (This list is in our old clan O forum XD).. But it must've been fun.....
I went way overboard with stacked names (Remember that guys??) in Virus arena .... when stacked names were still a big Fad...
Clock defense was the last defense map to be uploaded in starcraft.org before it stopped allowing uploads so they could "fix and crop out bad maps from their huge DLDB"... soo it had over 5000 DL's... XD.. and it is fun...
Insane defense was lolwut? ...
I only started using deathcounts with Fuel tactics ... but I rocked with it.. I bet not all of you can figure out the chainsaw trigger ...
Krystal Shards Rpg for Last Stand RPG? maybe... but with you guys as competition, I have no hope..

Bah.. anyway.. very very fond memories... It was a hard road to get to a map that's finally really popular.. namely Temple Siege ... so .. I've did it... After all these years! A map that's truly done by myself, and very popular. It feels like it has spelled the end of an era.... This is why I can't get off SC... it's just been such a crazy experience XD... altho I prbly have to move on and get a life soon

I shall wait until SC2

i love my starcraft so much im building a new computer for the sole purpose of sc2. As much as im into building computers i honestly am not much into the newer computer games that seem to be coming out which are mainly FPS, but as soon as i heard SC 2, ive been following the specs and am glad i planned above them.. still not complete though as i ran out of funds.. looking for a job now O_o

bombing zone was the first map to use hyper triggers right?

There was a snipers map around late 2002 that used wait 1ms hyper triggers, I have no idea if it was the first to do so but the mapmaker is a crazy programmer so it wouldn't surprise me if he realized why they'd work independently. I still don't understand it. =p

I was hooked on SC because of Quake Team Fortress, I loved that style of game. Then I found snipers and started mapmaking for it and I've been hooked since. =)

Freshmen year in High School my friend Victor was talking to his buddy about how they were going to play StarCraft that night. The next day I obtained a messed up copy of StarCraft, most liked a spawned version. I could play it once on a computer, but then I would have to uninstall it and reinstall it to play it again. I remember the first time I went to Comp USA to buy the first version of the game, followed by the Battle Chest version with Brood War.

First time map making, I never really had a first map, I just would play maps online and try to figure out what in the triggers made something happen in the game. The rest is history...

I first played StarCraft when I was about 6-8 years old. Or so. My parents were getting a van, second-hand, from another family. They had a teenage[?] son who showed me StarCraft. I thought it was so crazy. And then I asked him if I could have it (although I was embarrassed to ask at all), and lo-and-behold, he said, "Sure, I'll just get my friend to burn me another copy."
So yeah. (I'm using his friend's CD-Key still, and I occasionally conflict with him on B.Net, every few years. I got my own copy of Brood War when I discovered it existed at all. I've registered the CD-Key on to my Blizzard account already... Hehehehe.)

And then...

Mapping, at first. But it was frustrating because I never got to finish anything. Not too frustrating, it just sucked. I still kept at it and I actually thought I was pretty good.

Later, I discovered modding. Which was incredible and orgasmic and still is.
And then I realized I suck at mapping. And meleeing.

So yeah, I'm a modder. But I rediscovered the fun of melee. And making melee maps.

in 2002. My sister's boyfriend showed me it and downloaded the demo for me. I was so excited and after I was done the demo campaigns, he told me if I wanted to get it? so I was like "really?" so then I got $40 from my dresser (lol at a young age and I still had a lot of money(talk about sweet life)) and they drove me to future shop and bought Starcraft Battlechest I think around $20. Then I started playing with computers in single player. I did some campaigns after that. Then we had to get our computer removed, but before that my sister's boyfriend wanted to borrow the first CD since I didn't really need it because I could still run it on the expansion. So when we got our new computer I couldn't play it. In 2008, I tried to get starcraft because I got tired of playing Nox. So searched and searched and found a random key generator and what to do with it. But then I realized that he toke the Cd and not the case for it (Hell yea). So I went to blizzard.net/account and created an account and downloaded starcraft again! So then I started with the campaigns first and learned slowly how to play again (but didn't forget all the skills). After I felt confident about playing online with others, I did so and lost a lot... but learned from it. After I searched up for maps and found Staredit.net. I read mostly in the modding section. And so on and so fourth and begin creating a mod and till this day I'm still progressing on my skills in starcraft. Both online and modding.


Ha, I didn't get into it because of map making! I got into it because of the campaigns!

My grandfather's been playing it since it came out.

He still plays melee like, constantly >_>

He's pretty awesome.

Wow. That is shockingly close to mine. The only variation was I already had the N64 version, my dad had beaten it a century ago, and I messed around with it. I found it way to hard for me (I was like 9, chill). Then I asked my dad if he had an easier version, and he pulled out his old Starcraft case, my eyes almost busted outta my head. Played that for a while (only regular), then my dads friend had broodwar, almost has a seizure just watching it download. Got bored of single player, found battlnet, and was originally chriztopherr (I think). Then I played the same exact game, The Haunted BC, and came here because I liked it and wanted to learn how to make my own. Pretty weird huh?

My dad sometimes played it maybe six years ago, along with Heroes III, and we watched. Eventually we got it too, and... I don't remember much, except that my first map I played was Evolves. Oh, and I also remember thinking that a goliath was a super-marine .

My dad would play it all the time, and then he showed me how to play it. I got hooked. Then I realized you could make maps too.

i had played red alert and was ok at RTS before I found out about SC from a friend. he had it on the computer AND on the nintendo 64 (shudder) split screen screen peek ftw! well wen i was at his house i played it liked what i played asked for it for christmas (christmas and birthday was only time i get anything from parents ) and then started playing... cheated on the campaigns haven't actually finished the campaigns without cheating yet :S

got on bnet played for ages, yeh UMS definitely what kept me in it, if it wasn't for UMS i wuld be out ages ago. HElms Deep ftw. started making maps, made a couple single player ones on the original editor, frustrated me even then some of the limitations, found the custom map making program Xtra Editor and nearly jizzed. been mapping ever since.

It was realllly exciting to get into the single player missions and discover new units and stuff. I thought the voice acting for terran especially was epic. I loved that mission where you had norad two who could kill marines in one shot, it was so efficient. Edit this was like in the late 1990's.

After that it was playing with my brother, building up an army as big as we could on Fastest Map Ever, and then trying to kill each other with them. We did this at least 30 times.

Then we started doing UMS's, we have played cannon defense probably 1000's of times. Also DnD we played a lot.

Then I started getting into mapping and that's where i am today.

Starcraft is awesome.

Definitely the mapping part. Then I learned how to mod...
