Fallout in StarCraft?

Post by Cutedge »

Anyone notice that mission 1 of StarCraft's Terran campaign is called 'Wasteland' and this is part of the map?

I'd say it was intentional... what's inside?

You can't actually go inside. It's just cliff artwork. Pretty cool though.

Very cool. Usually something like this would've been noticed and posted by now.

Good eye!

Hot damn... I remember that door too, and trying to open it, but at the time I didn't link it to Fallout. Now I'm quite sure it is a reference specially considering the map name...

It's not really suprising... Fallout and Starcraft largely play to the same audience...

If there aren't any more doors with other numbers on this map it's pretty clear it's a Fallout reference. I have new found respect for Blizzard.

I liked Blizzard in the elder days... I started to loose my interest with Warcraft 2, as good as both that game and StarCraft were, Blizzard seemed to have lost it's edge.

They still have amazing graphic artists though.

Very nice... I remember that door too, but, like Red, never thought Fallout. But you're right, it's the only door with 13 on it and, considering the map IS called Wasteland, I'd definitley call it an egg!

i play starcraft all the time and there is this one map on it where if you walk by it, it gives you a quest to retrieve a waterchip, (this map was made by a person and not by blizzard.) and when u retrieve the waterchip it says "get out we dont want you anymore!" and you then get these reavers (a type of unit) but the name isnt reaver its water merchants.... weird.... but very cool indeed
