Like Troy geysers, Plasma eggs (or the idea that only workers can go through a certain type of wall by mining a Mineral), neutral arbiter (mothership) to cloak a wall, etc
All those things can be done easily, and much more. The problem with map making right now (besides the inability to publish :p ) is that mapmakers as well as the players don't really know the full extent of what map elements will do in terms of gameplay. The mapmakers need just as much time to figure out how to tweak gameplay on their maps to what they're looking for.

I think more people come here, so it'll get more attention
Sad thing is, If some random poster posted this, it would have gotten locked..anyways I'm glad we have someone showing the newbies who don't even go to the BW forum just how much Bw potential for awesomeness >SC2 potential for awesomeness.
Not as entertaining as watching a bunch of DTs die to mass baneling with an overseer overhead, especially when you must compare it to... wait, what can I compare it to in BW?!? lol.

Also lol at the guy complaining that this is not BW forum, it's fucking WAXANGEL posting, he was around when you were playing Mario, you can't get more veteran than that
in my words in a convo with a friend, talking about BW vs. SC2 + Show Spoiler +
(9:01:58 PM) so much bettr than sc2 (9:01:59 PM) sc2 is (9:02:02 PM) WOAH THAT LOOKS AMAZING (9:02:03 PM) bw is (9:02:06 PM) HOLY SHIT WTF HOW DO YOU DO THAT
This game was so epic. The map made it awesome. At the begining I was extreamly confused about all the random arbitors in chokes. Then one was destroyed and the eggs uncloaked. I find it funny Starcraft 2 claims to be revolutionary with destructable rocks and xelnaga watchtowers, when interesting starcraft one maps have about twice as much strategic terrain. Vision blockers? check. Destructable "rocks"? check. I dont doubt that blizzard might make starcraft 2 just as balanced as starcraft BW, but i am 100% sure I will still have more fun with BW. Back to the game, I was shocked that so many awesome and rulebreaking strategies were used in a pro match. Those nukes were awesome, and the arbitor lock-down was insane.
