I have only hosted FS so far in my BW adventure I have played 70 games so far, and this is my first season playing. I really like the layout of the map..
Now that so many here in this thread is stomping on FS, what other maps do you recommend for someone like me? I am focusing on my TvZ right now, so can anyone give some tips on a good, balanced and fun map for TvZ? thx

I don't like this logic. The "current metagame" is not something set in stone tables, you are supposed to adapt to the map you are playing. I think the only valid complaint is if the map is significantly imbalanced racially.
Agreed. But here's the question: Are there any map makers left that the community would actually use maps from? Or if some1 fairly unknown like me made a perfectly balanced awesome map, would people ever try playing it?
how can you adapt when its almost impossible for basically any race to take a third on that map?
play pvt, easy 3rd for toss. Terran has a much harder on python, but i love this map
I generally find TvP easier on python unless it is cross position.

FS is the best. Its very open in the center so SKTerran is viable, but its also narrow and tight around the outside so you can still play mech or some tech-greedy strategies.
Matchpoint and Destination are strong mecching TvZ maps.
Odd-Eye I really like for SKTerran, but nobody plays on it
SKTerran/Bionic for Python but its pretty strong map for zerg because of the open natural. Its really a 2 rax acad map, if you go 1 rax fe very easy to ling bust and you force more sunkens with 2 rax acad because of the open natural.

i dont think its overhyped.. theres always a really good variety of builds and strategies on this map and it doesnt promote cheesy strategies. i guess in the perspective of a low level player fs seems like a nice map.. but as a caster i can see why it might be boring since alot of games ARE played on fs

New sniper ridge is like fighting spirit but have more ledges and high ground still a good map for TvZ.
When I was playing bw (I quit 6 months ago or so) I was kinda tired of playing on FS. There are so much amazing maps, it's sad that FS is the only one used.
Aztec, Circuit Breakers, Icarus, Neo Sniper Ridge, from the top of my head, are all as good/fair as FS imo.

I love Circuit Breaker, but Aztec is really imbalanced. I think Neo Sniper Ridge might be, but not sure. Icarus is just weird to play on, and it can get quite dicey based on positions (close position REALLY good for 2 hat muta).
I love playing on Fighting Spirit :D It's a really good map thats pretty standard and balanced. Of course I hate how too many people ONLY play on it and won't try some other maps but there's nothing wrong with the map itself...
