Hey,

I used to play Broodwar for a few year back when it was released. I spent most of my time playing Used Map Setting games because I sucked at melee, and there were some really boss UMS'. If I were to buy BW, would the custom games be deserted? I imagine practically the only people playing are the people that play melee games.

Thanks

It's this ums where players have to run from the computer units that constantly nuke a location. So basically you gotta dodge the nukes when they are en route and try to survive and get the other players killed by getting their routes nuked.

haha, yes UMS are still quite popular, yet not as many people play bw anymore because of sc2, but I'm sure you can still find games
Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.

Sunken Defence.
Wall Ball.
Futbol
Basketball
Asteroid Race
Poker Defence
WWII
Diplomacy
Monopoly Bound and Bounds
Special Forces (BW has and still has the best ones)
Blood Pressure Marathon

A lot of the UMS scene seems dead though..it's really difficult nowadays to host a game and have people join in in a snap

Micro Tournament is still popular and still around.

Although my favourite map of all time is still Blood Pressure Marathon. That game is hilarious

Sunk/Lurker D were my favorites. Although Diplomacy and Special Forces were unreal <3 It's kinda hard to play them these days though, not many people seem to be into em now =(

I play many Poker def game at KR serwer last weekend , but if you wanna host a game ,you must first DL the korean version of UMS (you gonna find it easy at list , and korean players join only their version when i hgost nova version nobody come , when i change i was having full game after 10 sec of waiting) and then host it. There are many more popular maps on KR , but i dont know names i was only interisted in poker def.
