    *Regains composure*

    Hopefully it will be quite intuitive like the warcraft 3 editor. You don't have to type any custom script or anything. Advanced mappers will probably choose to code manually though, since it tends to be more efficient - but we'll see I suppose.

    The content of my testicles is now on the carpet. Seriously can you imagine what the new DotA could do with this? Oh and people will finally stop crying for starcraft ghost :)

    Of course there will be incredible maps made with this editor. What else can we expect when Blizzard offers people money for the best maps? :p

    Seriously, how big is Starcraft 2 going to take on your computer's hard drive space. Fully installed with the galaxy editor.

    From what I saw in htat video, the map editor alone will be worth the price of the game itself. (for map modders of course)

    Well, warcraft maps were all smaller than 4mb in size. Custom models would undoubtedly increase map size significantly, considering the quality needed for them to fit in-game with the official units. But the maps shown in the demo don't use any imported material so I'm guessing they'd be quite small.

    That being said, my wc3 map download folder is 500mb!

    I hope that they ship lots of tutorials with the editor. Or even some demos (like the 3rd person RPG) for us to open in the editor to see how it was build.

    No matter what, there will probably be lots of new mapmaking communities out there that will cover all the details for us.

    The greatest part of it all it that SC2 will last for ages. There will be loads of times that you log on to B-net 2.0 and its marketplace to find that numeral completely new games (in different genres), new SC2 scenarios and others have been publicised.

    I wonder what the cost will be for the quality maps, and suppose that someone will make a great 3rd person game how much that will cost. Hopefully they will implement a price ceiling of lets say 10€ / $.

    Yea I have a feeling there will be enough communities out there to learn everything we need to know. I just can't wait to make my own melee maps, and hopefully some cash =p.

    Damn, you were faster Higgy!

    Even DOTA will perhaps not be "special enough" to be able to make any cash.
