Ah yes, I forgot about the obligatory map comparisons.

Beltway feels like circuit breaker on the outside, and kind of like tornado on the inside.

alternative is not like any map in particular. The main and adjacent island are like fortress. The tile set, 2 player nature, and the natural are like blue storm. The lack of high ground for the most part and the center expos remind me of judgement day. although I can't remember a map that has a center like that.

Ehhh I really don't like beltway on first glance, but we'll see how it plays out. Alternative looks pretty good, though ^^ And all this talk about best maps ever makes me think of fighting spirit, with match point in close second spot.

beltway looks REALLY good for tanks, tank drop at natural for example.
also forcing the middle to be a viable 3rd is kinda cool.
alternative is like triathlon for non-zerg midlong games, 'cause there are 3 pretty easy bases to secure.

Both new maps look like shit in my opinion, lots of linear terrain which is hideous.
Something tells me korean mapping is going downhill from what i've seen on these latest batches of maps :/

I actually don't see notable differences in Aztec or Bloody Ridge...
