It’s been 15 years since StarCraft 2 launched, and honestly, I still think it has the best RTS campaign ever made. Hey there, I’m Ash, and today I want to break down what makes it so special, and why it’s still worth playing all these years later.

With Blizzard slowly winding down Starcraft 2, there is a very clear RTS-shaped hole in the market that's just begging to be filled. As such, it should come as little surprise to hear that a brand new studio has just been founded with the express purpose of creating classic real-time strategy

While Starcraft 2's Map Editor is quite impressive and far more advanced than its Warcraft 3 counterpart, it unfortunately has one rather crippling issue - it is too complex for beginners. The best example of this is the process to change a single character model. In Warcraft 3 this was as

[Update]: The anniversary patch has now gone live, and it sure is a big one!

Even though Starcraft 2's Map Editor is significantly more powerful than its Warcraft 3 counterpart,

The original StarCraft is perhaps one of the most impressive games ever created. Not only was it an excellent strategy game, but it also fostered a gigantic modding/map-making community and an eSports scene so large its effects are still felt in South Korea today!

With all of that in

If you have even a tiny bit of interest in the RTS genre, you might be glad to hear that StarCraft 2 has now gone free-to-play! You can experience the entire Terran campaign, play as all three races in casual or competitive multiplayer, mess around in the co-op missions with a variety of

If you ever wanted to give StarCraft 2 a try, but you didn't really feel like buying three 'different' games in order to do so, you're in luck as Blizzard has just announced that StarCraft 2 is going free-to-play! You can go through the entire Terran campaign, play as all three races in casual

While Starcraft 2's balance is currently in a fairly nice place, there is a bit of a problem with certain tactics and units being far superior than their counterparts which tends makes matches predictable, and consequently boring for the average player. In an effort to fix this, and also make

It seems that Blizzard has finally noticed how successful (and lucrative) Dota 2 and CS:GO's Battle Passes truly are as StarCraft 2 will soon be getting one of its own. The upcoming War Chest will introduce more than 70 new items spread across three phases, including things such as: sprays,

During a recent announcement Blizzard unveiled StarCraft: Remastered - a complete overhaul of the original classic that brings with it 4k graphics and 1080p cinematics, tons

After quite a few rumors and leaks the unthinkable has finally happened - Blizzard has just announced their very first remaster! The RTS classic StarCraft: Brood War will be getting a complete overhaul in

Starcraft is one of the most influential games of all time, and to my knowledge the very first esport that gained any sort of wide-spread attention. Given its popularity it shouldn't come as surprise to hear that there were numerous rumors about it getting remastered over the years, though so

To say that TotalBiscuit has simply been involved in Starcraft 2 would be one hell of an understatement. He not only spent a lot of time casting official matches, but he actually went the extra mile by creating his own competitive team and even funding a couple of tournaments. All of that

Even though its competitive scene might not be as booming as it once was, there are plenty of interesting things going in with Starcraft 2 right now. The third mission pack for the Nova Covert Ops solo campaign just recently became available, a couple of new co-op missions have been added to

According to D.Va's lore she is a competitive Starcraft player with quite a few victories to her name, so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to hear that she will be making her way into Starcraft 2. What might come as a surprise,

CarBot Animations, the team that does some of the most amazing fan-animations for Blizzard games, has just released their biggest and grandest project yet - StarCrafts. To put it simply, its a mod that remodels and

If you find the default Starcraft 2 announcers to be terribly boring, and would instead prefer to have someone like Alarak spend the entire game questioning your worth, you'll be glad to hear that Starcraft 2's upcoming Patch 3.7 will be bringing with it a bunch of cosmetic customization

Starcraft 2's matchmaking system is pretty damn good at finding you equally skilled opponents, which is both a blessing and a curse. Learning one race takes months and months of dedication, during which you will slowly advance through the ranks and face off against players doing the same, but

Throughout Heart of the Swarm Blizzard took a more laid-back approach to balancing, hoping beyond hope that the Starcraft 2 community will eventually figure out how to counter each other and create a sort of equilibrium. Unfortunately for everyone, the result of this little experiment was

Fan projects with grandiose ideas appear every once in a while, usually populate a single web page with a bunch of concept art and then slowly fade away into obscurity. When I first heard about Starcraft Universe (or World of Starcraft as it used to be called) I thought very much the same as
