garbage based on what? gameplay? style? Give something to back up your claim. Otherwise you're basically eating and breathing garbage.

Medievaldragon from Blizzplanet here. I have known of this mod for 3-4 years. Blizzplanet is 5-years old.
To answer why this mod needs Starcraft: Brood War and Warcraft III: Frozen Throne CDs, it is simple: This mod is based on a total conversion of another Blizzard Game. All Blizzard games prior to World of Warcraft had an internal CD-key which interacted with a Battle.net identification protocol that ensures anti-piracy parameters. Blizzard's Legal Department is very sensitive, protective and aggressive about this patented anti-piracy protocol ... they do their job pretty well.
Imagine a mod that allows you to play Starcraft for free, and circumvents the anti-piracy protocols.
There are other Starcraft mods out there who had been shut down in the past. There was a C&C mod based on Starcraft. It got a cease and desist letter by Blizzard's lawyers. There are a few other mods that have been stopped cold by such letters. Others have been stopped for the mere reason they had Starcraft as a title of the mod. I remember a mod titled Starcraft 2: Xel'Naga's Vengeance that got nuked down.

Don't name your mod using a copyrighted title. Project Revolution has lived this long because:
1. The title Starcraft is nowhere in Project Revolution's title.
2. In order to play the mod, you must have a legal copy of Starcraft: Brood War and Warcraft III: Frozen Throne -- that's four Game CDs you must own or buy.
3. Instead of copying sounds, images, and such from scratch the mod access all these directly from the games mentioned above.
Either way there are a few legal/copyright infringements this mod would be violating if the mod hadn't been designed the way it was.
The Project Revolution team wanted the mod to look like the original starcraft, visually and balance-wise. Take note that this mod started a few years ago. There was no sign Starcraft 2 was in development.
I am not part of the Project Revolution team, so don't take these comments as an official statement. Just saying if the mod hadn't been designed the way it is, it would have been shutdown long ago by Blizzard Entertainment. It is the only mod I have seen spared a cease and desist letter.
