Yeah. Wait till the map developers find out about 2 girls 1 cup.

That would be so epic, yet so damn wrong.

WIN! wow my friend would flip if he had beta and saw this! he loves to rick roll people(but everyone has caught on so doesnt work) when he sees this he will go insane and will probably spaz out about how awesome this is lol.

If this was made im sure Blizzard would take it down instantly due to all the annoyed people who get pranked...and they couldnt confirm yer age so it could also be breaking the 18+ law.

Personally, I am more concerned about other possible exploits that may be discovered within the editor at a later date. Exploits such as Virus/Malware/Trojan integration within the maps etc. I really hope that Blizzard plans to monitor the content of these files somehow.

I can see it ... The perfect way to monetize Bnet2.0

Bobby Kotick: With the expansion of out digital market through the use of Battle.net, we have encountered several areas of opportunity to increase margin for the fiscal year. We will be adding an optional service charge (Insert random BS here)

If anything else, Battle.net 2.0 and the maps we encounter will be nothing short of interesting. Hopefully in a positive manner.

It's simple. I won't be playing maps not advertised or hosted properly on community sites.

[Pandonetho]

I'm not worried about seeing boobs. I'm worried about seeing giant dicks.

[TheEconomist]

Yeah, it got me too.

Am I the only one who sees this as more of an annoyance then humor? It might be cute once or twice, but after awhile this would get quite old...just like the original meme. Kinda hoping Blizzard prevents this sort of crap in the retail editor.

STARCRAFT® II: WINGS OF LIBERTY™ BATTLE.NET ANTI VIRUS SERVICE
IN BATTLE.NET STORES STARTING SEPT 2nd, 2010

IRVINE, Calif. – June 4th, 2010 – Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. announced today that its highly anticipated real-time anti virus service, StarCraft® SHIELD™ Anti Virus Map Service, will arrive in Battle.Net stores throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Mexico, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau starting on Sept 2nd, 2010. Players will also be able to purchase the Anti Virus Map Program directly from Blizzard Entertainment shortly after the retail launch.

"We've been looking forward to providing a safe game play environment for Battle.Net customers for many years, and we're excited that the time for that is almost here," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "Thanks to our beta testers, we were rick-rolled and 2 girls 1 cup'd on numerous occasions. We thought that our aggressive stance on removing chat channels and implementing Real Friend ID via Facebook and Email was enough but our testers showed us. We'll be ready to welcome players all over the world to StarCraft II and the new Anti Virus Map program."

Battle.net SHIELD is the Anti Virus service being added to Blizzard Entertainment’s 1994 hit "Battle.Net" service, which has been hailed by players and critics worldwide as one of the most beloved and nostalgic online gaming services. Now sporting a vibrant 3D-graphics engine, Battle.net 2.0 will once again match players randomly with stolen NSA and CIA algorithms, with each side completely dazzled by illogical match making services. Unparalleled and protected online play for StarCraft II will be available through a new version of Battle.net, Blizzard Entertainment's world-renowned gaming service. Battle.net has been redesigned from the ground up to be the premier cash cow for Overlord Kotick, with several enhancements and new features, such as voice communication, no chat channels, illogical leagues and ladders, XBOX LIVE achievements, DOTA stat-tracking, and more.






"Muwhaha!"


Sorry I couldn't resist after reading your post. Bobby Kotick probably wakes up in the middle of the night thinking of a new way to "Monetize" services and provide "Services" to loyal customers.
And um back to topic, I'm sure because the map is linked to your StarCraft battle.net account, serious retribution will occur if you host something viral.
EDIT: But yes, the people who get affected will be burned/pissed. I'm sure there are limits to the map editor..or some sort of safetys in place..

I was fairly unmoved until I read this, then I broke out in a grin.
