StarCraft 2 to have 'mini-games' called Challenges
Posted by Patrik "Raistlin" Hellstrand 2 years ago

Reports say that Blizzard is planning on releasing a new feature called Challenges, which seems to be some sort of mini-games feature for practicing.
- It's basically very specific situations that allow players to get ready for the sort of things you might want to be thinking about when playing multiplayer, said Lead Producer Chris Sigaty to IncGamers.com.
It is also revealed that these will include simple tasks like learning efficient resource gathering to more advanced aspects like unit countering and micro management. But this is not planned to be released with the beta.
- It's a shipping product, it's not meant for beta, added Sigaty.
This add-on was developed because the single player will not be as much of a training ground for multiplayer gaming.
- The requirements for a very competitive player is different, said Sigty and explained that the single player missions will be more complex than just razing your opponent. The single player campaign will most likely have more puzzles of the sort.

| sounds good! |
| micro maps |
| It will be the same as many UMS maps. :) |
| this is amazing ((: good that blizzard will do it not we .. |
| Great idea to make noobs understand why they stand no chance when they get raped by RTS veterans online. |
| wth? puzzels? lets GO STARCRAFT PUZZLE <333 |
| good idea with those mini games blizz |
| Seems like Blizzard wanna take control over all parts of the game. But people will still make maps, still play on LAN (we will figure out how) and so on. Hopefully they can make a good ladder like Iccup. |
| #8 yea, sponsoring gomtv and now trying to fix ums maps i have no further comment, i just doupt that they will succeed controlling all the aspects they are trying to atm. i like the effort tho :p |
| #5 Agree ^^ |
| This is something else and has nothing to do with UMS maps. Their plan is to make a start into multiplayer mode much easier for the new guys, that would be sort of Multiplayer Tutorial. This way they will be able to appeal more players to Battle.Net, even the total noobs. _ ESC.Raven http://www.terran.pl/tv/ |
| #5 haha yup. #8 I'm thinking that the sc2 ladder will be much better than iccup(Iccup has no hidden rating for people who clearstats all the time). Especially considering that the WoW ladder is better than iccups. |
| #12 ladder in WoW? How the hell does that work? |
| Game better not suck -.- |
| i think its awesome how they are embracing competitive play so much. i am very happy with the direction blizz is taking. mostly. |
| #14 I agree. |
| #14 I'm really 'focusing' on my opinion... SCII WILL BLOWS :) |
