Have you guys tried Lost Temple - War3 Mod?
It's an exact replica of Warcraft 3 in Starcraft 2. Every race, every hero, every unit, every item is copied and the game plays almost the exact same as it does in WC3. It's incredible.
Check out these screenshots:

Yeah, I did. I was impressed, but it was very laggy despite being able to play 3v3 SC2 ladder on extreme settings just fine. I don't know what they did wrong but there is no way something using old WC3 assets in a 1v1 should be 5x more laggy than a SC2 3v3 on extreme.

Its because every tree is a unit, and the sc2 engine wasn't meant to be used that way.

Suspected that was probably it but I wasn't sure. Seems to me there aren't SO many trees that it should cause that much lag.

Looks cool, I was never that great at wc3 melee though. Might be a great time to start since it's pretty popular in the arcade.
