I, too, spent a lot of time in UMS long ago. From memory my favorite maps were:

A Test Of Skill
Terran Special Forces
Bunker Zone Control
There was a diablo quest map that was pretty sweet
Some map that you spawned at the bottom with 4 or 5 allies and did a progressive defensive push as you were supplied with reinforcements and defended waves of enemies.

Lots more but it was ages ago.

Yay for BW =]

The old Golem maps where you had 4 beacons and got civillians per x kills and had to remember which combos were triggered in what way were the best. It was also fun timing it so you got exactly 1 civillian on each of the beacons at the same time and get 4 heroes Bounds were also great. I made a bunch of them and played many more.

However, the two most memorable maps to me are Elements RPG and Smash TV. I spent so much time on both of them.

Oh, and the basketball UMS. I was boss at that.

defense maps are the best. I don't think I could have ever managed to clean my apartment without them (build some shit, hoover a few square meters, build some more shit, mop a corner, repeat)

You need to play "Strip iDrA" then

I think the most weird UMS i played and laughed a lot was the volleyball in 3v3 with players being tanks and you had to siege to "kick" the ball which was a scourge.

And of course. 10way sunken defense.

First one i played was Starship troopers. It was so fun.

I loved UMS maps. I think there must be a lot of TLers who played UMS for years before they ever realised competitive 1v1 in melee mode was a thing.

I think the current generation gets that kind of kick from Minecraft, with all the custom maps in it.
LEGEND!! LEGEND!!

i know quite a bit of players, who still are passionate about certain UMS maps. Why don't you create a skype group or meeting point and try to get some UMS action going with people who know a good deal of UMS maps/are willing to learn and who genuinly enjoy it? I think that what be what the hour calls for, given the player base and the big focus on 1v1 nowadays.

I loved UMS maps too, though I played most of them in WC3.

Lately I logged into SC2 to play some UMS. I'm not sure if I'm missing something because I could find anything interesting.

:C I miss UMS

Unlike most, I never cared for UMS. If I am playing starcraft I want to play....well starcraft. Not Monopoly or basketball or whatever.

Then again, I probably would have enjoyed it plenty with a group of friends.

The majority of UMS I never really cared for. Always felt like the time it'd take to learn the map would be more fun to spend playing 1v1 or 2v2. There are a few less involved UMS that I like - Hydra zone control, micro tournament, mini game party. vulture micro... Sniper RPGs are fun too if you have a cooperative group playing and there are some really challenging ones out there.
