It’s been an easy way to play with friends and not sweat PvP intensity.įunny thing is that I think system requirements for Remastered to look decent is higher than SC2. It was a huge treat to discover that mode about the time lock down hit - I’d played and beat all the SC2 content way back when but had never touched it. That said - you also get Stukov, who is top 3 for my Coop Commanders. He’s beat most of it - and all of the SC2 campaign - and is now back at finishing it since it has a different curve than SC2 difficulty wise. I played it to ultimately beat Brood War (never did it back in the day) AND more importantly give my son (7 at the time, I think) an appreciation for how the RTS genre matured. Haha, if it’s worth all the trouble seems like it’s worth the $10-$20 it costs from Blizzard to get the remastered version. StarCraft: Brood War CD to your StarCraft folder.

This is also good news for everyone who, like me, has wanted to play at some point in the past 20 years but hasn’t been able to because Billy borrowed your CD binder with the StarCraft disc and never gave it back.
Once that version hits, the original will probably look a bit ancient by comparison - so they might as well use it to win over a few new fans, right?
So why now? The company is about to release a remastered version of the game in just a few months, its graphics/audio overhauled for modern systems. The company says they’ve also used this opportunity to improve the game’s anti-cheat system, add “improved compatibility” with Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 and fix a few long-lasting bugs. Up until a few weeks ago, getting the game with its expansion would’ve cost $10-15.
Legally!īlizzard has just released the original game - plus the Brood War expansion - for free for both PC and Mac. Good news! Nearly two decades after its 1998 release, StarCraft is now free.
