The second day at BlizzCon, Blizzard demonstrated a bit on how powerful their map editor functionality has become, and boy, did it come at a surprise.

The preview video you’re about to see will show the Starcraft ghost in a FPS environment shooting out at the Zergs. Additionally, at the end you’ll see what they call the “Lost Viking” game, an air ship battling out the Protoss fleets.

Only a few custom maps were shown by Blizzard but imagine what the community can do. The new powerful map editor may even replace Starcraft 2 as a whole. Turning a RTS game into FPS is one hell of a change. I can imagine RPGs just around the corner, perhaps even a twist of Diablo 3 into Starcraft 2.

I just hope I don’t end up spending all my money on the maps. Check out the preview yourself and let us know what you think.
