Been hankering to play some SC campaign again, but I just played through the whole thing earlier this year-ish. Are there any really good custom game campaigns? Not meaning like, nightmare modes for the original campaign like what SC2 has now (though might be fun), but entirely new fan-made ones?

Hey, Mafilux. There was a campaign called Dark Knowledge that I downloaded some time ago. I think it would be worth a try:

You can also find the links to some other ones in the Campaign Discussion Section of the Forum(I downloaded some from Andrea Rosa and Savora). Hopefully you’ll like those as much as I did.

Have you played Enslavers? It’s a custom campaign made by Blizzard for the original StarCraft, found in the maps folder.
I also recommend you to play the custom campaigns made by Andrea Rosa and RoughRider, which resemble the original campaigns. Andrea Rosa’s work in particular reflects many aspects of Enslavers (story connections as well). I’ll provide you links so you can find them.
RoughRider’s campaigns:

That was pretty fun, the last timed mission at least made sure I didnt just camp lol. Feels like there was meant to be more missions after, but appreciated the VA and stuff (The lady ghost did a really good job)

There’s a lot of options ranging from Enslavers and its sequel, Starcraft: Reversed, and UEDAIP.
If you wanted the original campaigns then you have my harder version of it but it’s vastly unpolished compared to the above.

Yeah I noticed that when I was putting the files in for Dark Knowledge. I’ll probably check all these out, thanks!

Nice mate. I’m glad you liked it. I also thought that the story was going to be continued at some point, but I guess that the mapmaker thought that it was good as is where it was(I still enjoyed it regardless of this).
Btw, if you’re looking for some studio developed campaigns, Blizzard did release downloads called Precursor and Enslavers part 2 on the old Battle.net website. I would recommend them both, but there was one mission in the latter that gave me heck trying to beat(aka Nemesis). Wish you have luck in them if you’re interested.

This is great, played through the first mission of Enslavers 2 and it definitely has the old Blizz polish. Even after the first mission I can tell this isn’t going to be easy, defilers using plague/swarm and lurkers from the get-go? Massing carriers is not gonna work here lol
