| StarCraft's future finally over?

These have been the source of great annoyance and unfairness to those who just want a legitimate game, but they pale in comparison to another, much worst hack.
Introducing what I'm going to refer to as the "Morph Hack".
In order to demonstrate the capacity of this hack, I will refer you to this replay download.
Watch the blue Protoss player, DeathKnight2004. Here's a list of things to watch out for:
3:00 - DeathKnight2004 pulls all Probes off mining and sends them to center.
3:30 - The first Probe mutates into a Mutalisk.
3:35 - Another Probe morphs into a Mutalisk. Notice that when the morphing is complete, DeathKnight2004 gains 200 minerals!
5:41 - Probes sent to DeathKnight2004's choke point.
6:00 - These Probes mutate into Extractors!
9:00 - An attack on blue destroys the Extractors, which leaves Depleted Vespene Geysers blocking blue's choke!
13:00 - Notice that blue uses the famed Stack Hack to make a cluster of Photon Cannons near his choke.
16:00 - Notice that DeathKnight2004's unit count only registers 20/80, which is counting his Protoss Probes - the Mutalisks aren't being counted (I'm assuming because blue had no Zerg buildings / Overlords, hence the null limit).
So there you go. That's everything I could see from the replay - drop me a line if I missed anything.
This is absolutely disgraceful, and I'm concerned that if this hack becomes mainstream we could see the StarCraft battle.net community reduced to something resembling that of the Diablo 1 community. This post was made for community awareness, as well as to try to nudge Blizzard into attempting to disable this sort of abuse. | Is the future of StarCraft coming to an end with this 'morph hack'? |

| Blizzard'll eventually patch it. An hack like that isn't easy to do, and if they fix it it gets even harder.
StarCraft'll never die. It is already a legend  | |

| Starcraft is already dead.
Ghost is more dead.
Blizzard will patch it.
I'm suprised this hasn't been done sooner.
Why be worried? We have a SC hacking section. We obviously support hacks here. This isn't too far off from hacking/different from HolyDive.
This is old news.

| Fine. For those of asian nationality, those who play til they drop dead of fatigue and brain damage, it's not dead. For the ever changing american teenager using what money he has to buy new games and move on, it is dead.

| I want SC to die. It's been lingering on with a gimpy leg and a sore arm for too long. Let it die and bring Ghost out, then SC2!

| Well, I watched the replay before downloading the new patch, and it was bloody sad. I've watched it after the patch, and it didn't work. Seems Blizzard did it again | |

| 8 years later and the game is still going strong. People are actively posting on sites like this and most of the time you can find a decent game on the bnet servers. hacks and map hacks and all that other gay **** have always been around, now the major headache is to be accused of hacking when your winning. people have found a way not to lose in their mind by accusing others of hacking and i hate it. i hate the stupid map hacks and that stuff too, i just played someone who did something similar to this "morph" hack and i was pissed. Why play if your going to do gay **** with map hacks?
I get pissed easily i know but its how i feel...
My next question is why cant i play multiplayer games in sc? i can play wow and wc3(host even) without a problem but now sc does not want to work for me. any suggestions would be appreciated | |
