I remember in SC1 we can start a game 2 players controlling 1 team, means in SC1, 2 players start with the same nexus, few probes, and the 2 players basically sharing the same base, but there are 2 mouse focus, u can know when your partner selected a unit or building.

That is how i start with SC1, I remember I was still a noob and a friend was already quite good at it, so i team up with another friend, challenged him, basically i do all the base management, mining/tech/produce units, and then my partner take over the unit and micro them, and we 2 able to beat him cause we did our job really well, even we arent really good at the game, i manage to keep expanding after base got wiped out clean and keep alive, and my partner who 100% concentrating his control into every single unit.

I am looking for this feature, i believe it was called "team" in SC1, is it still available ?

There is still many feature which we are missing and shouldn't have gone missing from SC1.

Watching replay together is so much fun, worse is the absent of chat room, playing feels so lonely now. Without a community and only limited friends known playing it for sometime..

Its actually a custom map called macro micro python/lost temple

Blizzard will add it on later on, I hope.

im not talking about custom games/map, i am talking about using any map and kind of change the game type, means it can be use on any map

you can try to share control

share control is different, we are talking about 2 person control 1 base vs 1 person control 1 base, its fair amount of resources just not fair in amount of player controls.

yeah you can share both ppl, and you can pool resources. it works lol. though, why the f***? lol

Quazacolt,
did you play the original starcraft 12 years ago?

I know what he meant. Used to do that way back during my SC1 noob days as well. Well, SC2 don't requires that much APM, so 2 ppl controlling 2 base is still ok. 1 guy micro armies, the other manage resources and macro. Always do that during 2v2

yes, but right now, are we playing sc1?

Added on September 21, 2010, 12:16 pmhmm one thing about that, i havent really look into it regardless: could you keybind resource trade window? lol cuz manually clicking it in the far corner of ur screen (worse when ur on big reso screens like 1920x1080 lol) is just slow and inconvenient.

Not too sure myself, I don't actually use the resource trade too often. Yeah I feel you man, especially on 1920 x 1080 resolution.

to do what you said more efficiently, the other guy has to pool resources for the "builder"or macroer. then the other guy just micro uber units haha. but ugh, on high level play (like 2v2 diamond), you just well... cant really do that lol. you need another good micro'er in the battlefield too

narf03 was referring to the feature available in sc1.

2 or more players controlling a single base.

this feature is not available in sc2.


sharing control in a 2 base vs 2 base is different and not the same thing.

IINM, the game mode was called Team Melee. 2 players, 1 base (Or side/race/team if you want to be pedantic about the idea of bases).

not the same, however the concept/purpose/idea is very similar. and besides, as i have even posted, why the hell would you want it anyways? sc2 sure aint sc1

Added on September 21, 2010, 12:37 pmwith googling for certainty, yeah thats the mode for sure

narf03 was the one asking about it, not me.

you should have told him that the feature is not available in sc2 instead of suggesting him to try share control.

thats the closest thing he can get if he wants it in sc2. or he can go back sc1. lol

well, perhaps, in the future, a patch may reintroduce this sc1 feature into sc2.

4 players 1 base vs 4 players 1 base would be something different, eh?

imagine, with 4 different colored selection circles indicating which unit your allies selected, with 4 players, the starting probes might have a chance to work on different mineral patches faster.

there might be battles not normally seen in normal 1 player 1 base vs 1 player 1 bases matches.

3 players may be attacking together from 3 different areas while the 4th player focus on base management, training new units etc.

and later on they will make the probes to mine on their own, and each players can control one hero unit like those in the campaign.

ehh defence of the universe?

hmm would a 2 player micro beat a pro-gamer ?

Who is the lucky probe who have to mine for an hour? or that super lucky one who die during scout

it'll be like an MMORPG. Only in Starcraft.

before you war with the opposing faction, you're already having civil war.

wwwwwwwwwwww

well, that would be true.

it takes a very good leader / tactician and 3 obedient followers or else ... civil war.

nt really...
qxc or was it nony played vs 2 TL members and won...
its known as 2headed giant LOL...

1 player vs 1 player + a 2nd guy taking terran...
game start, the terran lift off his CC so he cant mine and have control of his teammate (share control)...
1 micro, 1 macro vs the challenger...

i fcking love team melee and team ffa to finish serious melee sessions

ok its team melee and its not in sc2, end of story, thanks guys

World of Starcraft??!?

Race: Protoss
Class: Probe

... what would you possibly gain as you level up? ability to carry more minerals?

Share Control wont cut it because 1) u cant see your ally's mineral, resource and suppy 2) you can't spend your ally's resources :-/

Though i believe this is very much possible via a custom map. Any expert here wanna give it a try?
