If we stuck with maps forever because they were the "standard" at the time we would still be playing LT, Luna, Python,etc. There are plenty of good maps that are do not have crazy features and lend themselves to macro play. FS/CB are stale and particularly boring at higher levels.

I don't particularly have a problem with Gladiator other than PvP on the map...

What's wrong? I feel it's great they are keeping these 2 maps as people are the most familiar with them and won't have to learn 7 new maps every season. You can always ban them if you don't like them.
I only get three vetos, thats the problem. CB and FS eat them all up and then were at the mercy of any other bad maps they put in. If they were free vetos [and more maps] id never complain about them again. lol

you seem to hate 4 player maps so give us your insight into what you think are the good ones.
What are your 3 favorite 4 player maps that isn't FS/CB/Gladiator?
I'll help you out by sharing mine.

1.Electric Circuit
2.la mancha
3.Dante's peak

the problem isnt 4 player maps its what the community does with them. lt/luna/python/fs+cb all got spammed to death.

If were talking all time 4 player...

hall of valhalla
815
jungle story
blade storm
forbidden zone

if were talking just modern 4 player, yeah, andromeda, la mancha and dante are pretty good.



What set's these 5 particular maps apart compared to what our modern community has done now?

I'm personally not a big fan of Andromeda, but thats because Corsair Reaver is difficult for me to handle.

I'm actually enjoying the new maps so far except block chain, and that is because I don't really like how those partial island maps play out. But tres pass and power bond are actually super fun to me. Power bond reminds me of a more modern rush hour.

They all play out quite distinctly from one another, and I havent played the meta to death for over ten years. Id rather play a map with a mineral only expansion over fs too--- literally just for the novelty. I always had good games on those maps, it was always fresh and felt truer to the intended experience of broodwar-- strategy. A lot of that came down to the mutual ignorance of me and my opponents, as I said, not maps I gutted for years on end in tandem with vods etc..

I'm personally not a big fan of Andromeda, but thats because Corsair Reaver is difficult for me to handle.
haha, thats sort of the dream scenario of andromeda for me. gaurdian devourer vs late game sair reaver/dark archon, its pretty crazy. Same thing for andromeda as the older maps, games on andromeda tend to be a bit more unique than the average. Its also just a really solid map for macro which is fun in itself.

Are you still playing on the old VGA CRT from 1990s? It should look fine, HD graphics look fine in 640x480 (window mode) and they are also down-scaled from 4K resolution.

thanks for the reply quadrox. it's from 2003 :D nothing can beat good electron guns! with the deepest black (off), the 150 or 200 hz render, the block and schematic diagrams and wave forms to study if you so desire... what is not to love? they can not contain and do not depend on nonsense non-free firmware; can produce x rays (the likely cause of superhuman level bw)


would add that although vibrant, remastered graphics are fuzzy and indistinct at low res compared to the original.

tres pass hosted in UMS results in neither player starting with money. Zerg anyway.

That is because the map currently contains no standard triggers.
Is there any good reason to run it on UMS?

This is the most optimal ling-proof wall for the bottom base of Tres:

I absolutely love the idea of both of these new maps, tres pass for its layout and power bond for its use of the neutral CC in the middle, I've been wondering whether you could have a map that's balanced ZvP-wise, where Zerg gets an infested CC and Protoss gets to have an easy 3rd or 3rd and 4th gas. You guys think that could work?

Also Freakling what do those billboards do on the highground bases on tres pass? Are they the key to fix unit pathfinding on maps, where players start closer to the center of the map away from the edges? Would be absolutely awesome if that can fix that.

seems to work fine for me (wine-staging on Opensuse, no additional configurations done, just unchecked 32bit option) which is surprisingly nice =)

I think we are lucky with a lot of new maps in SC:BW, compared to for example CS:GO...
If you hate all the ladder maps, find friends and play One-on-One and choose whatever map you want.
Removing FS/CB and adding to complex ASL maps will not be fun for lower rank players.
