Jordon's mod experience.

Playing a Lord of the Rings mod on StarCraft

I decided to play some old school StarCraft, and download a map off of battle.net. I love the Lord of the Rings trilogy and so I chose to download a map that was moded to look like the battle of Helms Deep. The map was done quite well done and it looked like several people have shared and refined the map over the years.
The actual layout of the map was very much like the movie. The only major problem that I had was that errors kept popping up all over the screen because of the amount of units spawning on the screen. If you played the map as the heroes (Aragorn, Legolas, or Gimli) then the map was pretty fun because you just get to run around slaughtering loads of guys. However, if you played as the humans, elves, or orcs then the map kind of difficult to play because of the amount of units that you had to control.
I think that if professionals had created this map it would have been way better. There would have been no errors and the number of troops would be under control. I also think that the ground and structure textures would have been better chosen.
