Important: A recent exploit has been discovered: you can warp Immortals on your Warp Gates. The reason behind this is that the warp gate has the ability to create immortal but it has been removed from the Command Cards. So the only way to use it is to send crafted messages to Battle.net. You can read more about the technique thanks to progammer.
In order to fix this, Blizzard is going to remove the ability to use abilities that are not present in Command Cards. So if you are using hidden abilities, you must find another way before Blizzard releases the fix!
Important: The GUI implementation of nested for loops is really inefficient (Problem only happens if you nest the FOR loops!). 6 nested for loops results in 1000 lines of galaxy code! Using while loops instead fixes the problem. Read more on the thread started by TheFallenOne2

Sprite - Legend of Zelda by aTTari
After a RPG and Mario, here's another example of sprite usage. This time this is using sprites all over the place to make the legendary game Legend of Zelda! This is really impressive as you can't see that it's Starcraft 2!
Model: General Warfield by Underp4ntz
Great models are coming! Underp4ntz edited the marine in order to recreate a playable General Warfield from the campaign. You can use it in any of your maps :)
20K Immortal Defense by EvilPiper94
I really like maps that use the default units in their core as it also gives me a training for ladder games :) Here's one where you have to find the best combination to defend against overpowered Immortals. It has just been released on the US servers.

The Galaxy Editor can be used for machinimas but also for music clips. Here's one made by thelordofwolf on the song Nelly - Just a dream.
Starcraft 2 Song by David Choi
Starcraft 2 is getting huge and many people are creating derivated work around. Here's a song dedicated to Starcraft 2 and the lyrics are really funny :)
Tears of the Ultralist - Wait, shouldn't that be Ultralisk? ;)
Wait, can you link the source of where Blizzard's saying they are going to REMOVE the abilities entirely?

Awesome, this is going to screw up my map entirely, thanks. Data editor is basicaly useless for any advanced stuff without this, I'll have to use triggers for every single stupid thing. Wouldn't it be better to add an option to block player from issuing certain ability order (it could still be issuable through trigger/effect, but not directly from player)? I wouldn't dare to call this a "fix", it's more of a screw-up
