Raelcun United States3747 Posts March 22 2010 17:27 GMT #22 I like Kulas but at the same time it sucks because theres no good open areas to get surrounds or outflank a turtling terran once he finally decides to move out everything is so narrow with a few side paths. I voted steppes because it's very versatile.

CursOr United States6335 Posts March 22 2010 18:11 GMT #26 LOST TEMPLE! ...its back and its sweet Really really gives the impact of an upgraded StarcraftBW to me. Reminds me of when I was just as confused about Starcraft back in '99

mOnion United States5657 Posts March 22 2010 18:21 GMT #27 how in the hell does Desert Oasis have 19 votes? I love how close steppes of war starting positions are. it makes timing pushes really sexy but the well defended natural means you can get to the juicy midgames too ^_^

Pokebunny United States10654 Posts March 22 2010 18:31 GMT #28 Yar, steppes. I love how easy it is to pressure with terran.

Dark.Carnival United States5095 Posts March 22 2010 18:34 GMT #29 i don't really have a favorite, but i really dislike oasis and hate blistering sands/kulas. kulas just seems like they took their destructible and watchtower features and dumped all of it in kulas T_T

Rofllisk 45 Posts March 22 2010 19:19 GMT #31 I wish for terrans to develop some mega-nuke to destroy Desert Oasis completely. Metalopolis and Scrap Station - don't like dark lighting palette (daylight Metalopolis would be good). Don't like KR palette too (KR from alpha battle report looked much better IMO). So... Lost Temple.

Irrelevant United States2364 Posts March 22 2010 19:19 GMT #32 Favorite most likely Steppes of War as it often leads to quick aggressive play Only one I don't like is Blistering Sands

-orb- United States5770 Posts March 22 2010 19:21 GMT #33 How the hell could ANYONE vote for desert oasis? As for blistering sands I'm guessing everyone that voted for that is a zerg player lol. I voted for metalopolis. Quality map, well balanced, good placement, no backdoors.

Wintermute United States427 Posts March 22 2010 19:26 GMT #34 Tough call, but I went with Steppes of war. It's an intense map without the gimmicky crap like destructible rock backdoors or a tight elevated base like Desert Oasis. You rush and defend the rush and harass without worrying about constant cheese and annoyance that's map based. Lost temple is great too, the way that the dynamic changes completely depending on whether you are front to front, back to back, or cross map with your opponent. It plays like three different maps depending on how you get placed, plus you have cliffs overlooking the expos, raised areas in the middle, etc. I don't understand how any one likes Desert Oasis or Blistering Sands. Horrible, horrible maps.

G3nXsiS United States656 Posts March 22 2010 20:35 GMT #37 For me as a terran player its between Desert oasis and Lost temple. In desert oasis, I can open up with my reapers into banshee-viking build in TvT and TvP. Lost temple is just awesome because of the high ground which can do so much damage.

virpi Germany3598 Posts March 22 2010 20:46 GMT #39 metalopolis, lt and steppes are cool. scrap station and blistering sands suck.

grax United States41 Posts March 22 2010 21:02 GMT #40 Steppes of War is awesome. The rocks and towers are useful without being obnoxious (control of the towers doesn't give you vision of the middle of the map). The overall layout is intuitive and solid. Btw, I wonder whether SC2 in general would be better without towers, they look cool at first but then it seems like they often shut down all sorts of deceptive tactics that would be otherwise viable. They're analogous to glass walls in FPS games -- at first you add a few so that people can look through, see where the enemy is, and make predictions about where they'll go, but if there's too much glass/visbility then you start to cripple a player's ability to trick/outmaneuver the opponent.
