A Mod That Adds Co-Op Capabilities to Your StarCraft Campaign
When it comes to real-time strategy games, there are usually two main gameplay modes: the single-player campaign, where you play through a series of missions and experience the game’s story, and the multiplayer, where you play on balanced maps against an opponent with access to the exact same resources as you.
