It really is a shame. I spent a lot of time on the Diablo and StarCraft franchises in their early years, and sometimes I still go back and play them. World of Warcraft was pretty fun as well. Former industry titans have become consumed by greed, and have shed their passionate talent in exchange for psychologically manipulative algorithms and cosmetic designs.
Starcraft Use Map Settings was basically its own game platform.
Dozens of RPGs and quest games, complex war games, Risk and strategy games, chess ( yes, really ), dozens of base defense games, dozens of tower defense games ( so many extremely original types with different mechanics ), Archon Tag, DBZ-inspired tournament games, Cat and Mouse, Creep Tag, mini-game party, Bomberman...
Oh and silly games like ''Break the Condom'' ( attack players try to ''fertilize'' the defending player's egg after breaking it's complex defenses )
There were also maps where the minimap made a picture for mature audiences only. lol.
I can't recall them all.
I dwelved a bit into WC3 Use Map Setting but only liked the DOTA maps, played those alot.
If I'm not mistaken, StarCraft's custom games lead to the creation of DotA.
Yes. While DOTA itself is Warcraft III custom game, it was inspired by a Starcraft UMS game/map called Aeon of Strife.
DOTA itself was adapted on Starcraft ( Basically making it a new vers. of AoS given SC gameplay mechanics ). I tried it, not nearly as good as the WC3 maps.
