One of the most impressive transitions devised in the Starcraft 2 Map Editor to date, modder Egodbout has decided to convert the popular RTS strategy into another popular Blizzard title, Diablo 2.
The Starcraft 2 toolbox is incredibly flexible and allows for a lot of maneuverability and creativity. This has allowed the modder to recreate the strategy game with the toolkit.
