StarCraft: Mass Recall

Starcraft: Mass Recall is a fan-made remake of the Starcraft and Starcraft Brood War campaigns in Starcraft 2. As of February 2013, all 59 maps of the original game are playable and can be downloaded for free on sc2mapster.

Gameplay
The Mass Recall missions begin with a briefing screen and the original 1998 dialogs, after what the tech tree and objectives are the same as their Brood War counterparts.

As in Starcraft 2 maps, the player can select an unlimited number of units and buildings, and spells are smartcast.

Most maps offer two difficulty levels; the difficulty was significantly increased to compensate for the better UI and make the missions more challenging. The missions can be played offline or on Battle.net, though the latter requires additionnal steps.

Features
The Starcraft 2 improved graphics and UI were used in a number of additionnal ways. Several custom models are used for units or structures that do not have an appropriate Starcraft 2 equivalent, such as the dragoon or the corsair. Players and IAs receive were given decals corresponding to the lore. This includes custom UED or Kel-Morian Combine decals.

The Starcraft scripted events were ported as cutscenes, and a couple of new cutscenes were added. Some, but not all, of Starcraft cinematics were remade as cutscenes.

Trivia

 * Five authors are listed in the campaign pages, but over twenty people contributed with custom models or editor functions.
