Okay well, do you approve of all of these for 1v1 tournament play, for instance? Because I think some of these are great, others questionable. I thought this would be a pack for 1v1 play, but it seems a little broader than that.

If you wanna make a pack yourself, go ahead.

lol you added (i)iron flush, and (4)the great phase (not finished maps where game play sux)
where are NastyMarine maps? (4)TheWake is a good map, (4)Reverse PA, and i think Nasty\'s best map is BattleGrounds2.3...

you selected Yelhessa2.0 and not (2)BattleGrounds2.3? who you think you are? i made a 3 players version of paranoid android and i don\'t find it in your list of maps...
TK\'s new map (2)Break point, where is it?
ProTosS4EveR\'s (2)Elysium Fields.
oh wait! isn\'t (2)SnowShock flothefreak\'s best map?? it\'s not in your list!

Cause I seriously don't give a shit. I didn't make this pack based on what I thought people would like to play, I made it based on what I would like to play. It's right up there in the title "PsychoTemplar's Picks," not, "The Best From BWMN".

Iron Flush is a good map, the great phase is obviously a 2v2 map, TheWake was pretty boring, Reverse PA, and others like it I didn't want to bother with, and BattleGrounds wasn't terribly impressive either. I like Yelhessa, and I know there has to be some bias there, but I don't know of a way to seperate myself completely from that bias. I didn't add ALL my maps, so it's not like I didn't judge them whatsoever. Break Point is a shit map, no if ands or buts. Elysium has a really evil main/nat setup that I thought would hinder Zerg too much. SnowShock was crap, and it is definitely not flothefreak's BEST map. Endless Fields pointlessly UGLY ramps (look at them in game, seriously they're gross) when it could have just used regular ramps and the game play would not have changed at all. I was harsh on all maps that made Zerg 3 hatch for no reason (ie: did not compensate), and all maps that used ugly extended terrain with no express purpose.

That's more explanation than you deserved.

The maps I was wondering about were probably intended for 2v2 but there's no way to be sure since there are no subdirectories. You might have included something because it's fun for FFA, for all I can assume. Judging them all as 1v1 maps wouldn't be fair either so I am just going to withhold judgment and I will get started on my own pack immediately.

edit: I am forced to take two weeks off from BW specifically so my pack will be delayed until then.
