has anyone else noticed that the Megaton map seems to drop people like flies? It seems that every other game I play someone (or multiple someones) desync's. Map problem? Bnet problem?

Most likely a Bnet problem, since I think all the desyncs are a Bnet bug.

I played the megaton monobattles a few times and I noticed that more often than not either you get cannon rushed our your team tries to cannon rush, its pretty silly and kind of defeats the concept of this whole thing...

Warp Prism definitely needs to be removed as an option, without other units they make no sense at all. Whenever someone randoms it they just cannon rush, and build 0 prisms. Either that or (more often than not) they just quit. It would also be good to uncap Motherships (or increase the cap to say, 5 or 10), because only getting one unit, a very slow and squishy unit at that, is pretty lame and basically an auto-lose for your team.

An essential improvement would be allowing you to see what your allies pick as they pick them, and not have to depend on them informing you by chat (happens sometimes but not enough). This would avoid very stupid matches like Roach, Roach, Tank, Tank against Marine, Zergling, Ultralisk, Brood Lord (I've had this).

I don't like how people act as if just because it's a fun custom map, you shouldn't use any strategy at all and just a-move your armies at each other. Booooooring. If your team has no tier 1, you need static defense, and if you die it's because you're foolish and lack foresight or teamwork. If you're playing zealot or marine it makes no sense not to proxy, and zergling should always make a somewhat early pool.

Overall though I lose this map, I play it all the time! :D

there should be an option for host to select all random... its not very fun when your team randoms and the other team doesnt. Oh and I hope the other maps become more popular soon cuz im tired of that one map

It is a fun map in public, but if you join with a party it is near a guaranteed win due to the fact that you can see their races and you can pick the same unit more than once. I suggest giving Terran to ability to make 1-2 Marines max, as their static defense early game is pretty much useless, and if they spawn in one of the posterior positions they can be in trouble against units such as Reapers and Blink Stalkers. (Assuming Extinction)

It's supposed to be silly. You are supposed to find interesting ways to integrate t3/t2 units with t1 units and survive until you get that money composition. It's all part of the fun. Sure if everone goes zergling/zealot/marine/stalker it will get dull quick, but it's your choice how you play it.

I've implemented all these changes long ago including a better UI and even letting the host force everyone to pick random. There's also some bugs I've fixed along the way. Unfortunately, I've lost contact with my US friend so the US is stuck with an old version of the mod at the moment. Even if I purchase a US license, it won't let me reuse the currently uploaded map's name. I'm still trying to think of a way how to get it over there.

This is a great map, pleased to find that you can get a game quite quickly on the EU servers. Was pretty funny randoming Marines, going 7 rax and getting annihilated by the quickest Infestors I've ever seen :D

Why would you scout if you know what unit they're going to be building? c:

Oh man I would love it if you updated the US with those changes, setting everyone to random is what my group of friends has been wanting forever. Theres nothing worse than an arranged team vs a random team. Good Luck, and if theres anything you need us US people to do to help you out let us know!

I played a few of these the other day on NA server. It was pretty fun. Going banelings sounds like it would be fun, but you can only make as many queens as you have hatches so you have to blow blings on random builings here and there to kill them

Do not want vs mass tank + turrets!

This map is so fun going say phoenix, or another harassment unit just to see how they fair in a real battle. Every time I random phoenix and I happen to get blunked upon by a stalker player I can lift up his entire army and it is hilarious.

Or I just lose

To everybody complaining about the number of queens, that is how it originally was. Go watch the original daily. If it were not like that, every team would go mass Ultra/ Brood Lord and make a bagillion queens for defense and transfuse. Part of the fun is that you can't mass creep everywhere, or transfuse anything that moves. If you want to do that, go queen. It is really fun by itself
