I need some willing poor souls to help me test a port of the Starcraft 2 Wings of liberty campaign to cooperative 3 player gameplay which I've created over the last several months. It's currently in a private alpha that can be tested in multiplayer in games created by me :)

Now that SC2 is free I hope to release this to the public in a couple of weeks.

I understand that many crashes have been happening recently in empires, i've experienced them too.

In my spare time, I worked on redoing some sounds for Empires since all guns sound like peashooters. So, now each gun sounds like an actual gun, and each one is unique and hopefully will be easily distinguishable on the battlefield. I have had a couple people test it as is, but I'd like to make a "public" test to get feedback on how everything sounds and what errors there may be.

Currently what is done:
New Death sounds
