Unused UnitsStarcraft's development was in full swing and there's a lot of differences from existing units, as well as units that were cut entirely.General Differences#
- The beta's map editor (Staredit) is not included in the beta and would have been received through a patch, however as we have no beta patches we cannot access it.
- The map format is different from the final one and incompatible with the final map editor.
- The beta had an observer mode which was removed from the final game, each game has two observer slots, and upon losing a game, a player could originally become an observer.
- The beta has a cut voice chat mode which was removed from the final.
