    My head canon is that every time grant goes to bed a dedicated "fan" sneaks into his house. Hops onto his PC and messes with the hotkeys.

  • @Scorched_Desire
    @Scorched_Desire Před 2 lety

    Fun fact: It was supposed to be included in Wings of Liberty as the part of it. Map was named Combat Simulation, and you are supposed to play it from Hyperion Armory. However, it got cut from the game (Most likely when campaign was still in development), and the only thing left is the old menu and camera (which is bugged and just aims at the void, you can't see anything except text and button). I recovered it from old game files, and it is just as same as current map, except few differences:
    1. It is unfinished, there was only 20 maps out of 30, if i'm not wrong.
    2. You cannot warp between challenges.
    3. Map used life system: every time you lose, you lose a life. If you lose all of them, simulation ends.
    I'm glad they improved and re-added it as a arcade map.
