i like all of these maps instead of the third, way to many chokes imo, FFs and siege tanks will rape.
i love what blizz did with LT also, removed cliff, add a pathway to island, really great stuff. and i was worried they were never going to make new maps

I like how nearly everyone is being pessimistic off the getgo. I thought Shakuras sucked at first and now I love that map, seriously. Give them a try, play on PTR if you can and don't always approach change so negatively. I think adding new maps, even if they're not perfect, is a great step in the right direction. Who isn't tired of playing Xel'Naga, Metalopolis, etc.?
And who doesn't hate Delta Quadrant, Steppes of War, etc.?
Always look at the bright side of things! *sings*

that is your opinion,I find them extremely well made and balanced,the only drawback is that most of them are a little too big.

I think everyone needs to chill on the "omg they didn't add the gsl maps" thing. GSL hasn't even added the GSL maps yet! If blizzard is going to add them I'm sure they will at least wait until after the first season of CodeA/S to use them.

Anyone ACTUALLY run these maps through SC2 analyzer before calling foul on rush distances? Would be nice if someone did that *hint* *hint* *nudge*

If Blizzard really want to find out what people think, they'll put these maps and the GSL maps into the pool together and let everyone pick which they want to play using the "thumbs up" system. But I think they won't do the experiment because they don't want to see half the maps wither on the vine.

This is how I feel about map3 so far.

It seems to have scrap station main to nat distance, and delta quadrant rush distance.... and all the attack points are very narrow.


The other maps I've played so far seem good. Hopefully LT2 will at least get a different tileset or a mirror flip.



Have you played the map?.... I don't know what you are talking about.

Here's a replay of me ZvT against a top 200 Terran on that map. 30 minute macro game.

I like how people are complaining about size and similar when they clearly haven't played on them.

Played a few games on all of them.
Faux lost temple is nice, I don't insta-lose to Terran.

map 3 I didn't get a ladder game on, but 3 entrances to expo? eh? It'll be nice cross positions to have a quick entrance to a third, but earlier game I feel like it can be abused a bit more.

map 4 is huge. The middle is so massive. Played a few games on it and there is no way cross positions won't be a macro fest. Rush distance is so long.

map 5. palyed 3-4 matches on it, and never got "close positions". Unless anyone else played it and got those positions and contradicts me, it is a shakuras type 2v2 map where you can't spawn so close.

So test map 5 has just about the same rush distance as close spawn metal if you spawn close. ermmm derppP??? more auto wins.

These look great! Looking forward to trying them out.

There are a few that look a bit too large though.

Wow awesome news indeed! Those maps look awesome. As a fairly casual player anything new is always good, we'll see how it plays out at my lovely gold level

Thanks for coverage!

Unless you can't spawn close positions like Shakurus. You may want to actually play the maps before taking a side.

Ya... Test map1 is just a more open lost temple? .... where's the inspiration in that? :l
I hope the community can one day take part in putting maps in the map pool some day. But I guess it's easier for blizzard's part if they control the map pool.


It also comes down to blizz using lore in their maps, each blizz map is from one of the planets from the SC universe.... the one like LT is obv on the same planet.... just like shakuras is obv on the same planet as XNC
