For years the only UMS I played in Brood War was Matrix Defence 4way3race, it was so much fun.

Matrix Defence is a custom game where you co-operate and put units on hold while enemy units try to move to the other end of the screen. The trick is to make mazes and later of prepare for air units and not block anything, since they then start to attack. It is not like the maps where the units travel on the outskirts of your reach, but they actually pass through where you can put your units on hold, and it in the end boils down to co-operation from all players involved.

This sounds like Tower Defence, but it is not, since Tower Defence started to become popular in War3 and perhaps evolved from the Matrix maps of BW, but Matrix Defence is so much more fun, and I looked in vain for these on War3 aswell.

So, I have been looking for these Matrix Defence maps on Star2 but have found nothing yet for several month, so I finally made this thread for us that used to play Matrix Defence maps on BW, and ask you: Is there any Matrix maps at all for Star2 available or being made?

Excuse me, *clears throat* BRING BACK SUNKEN DEFENCE 8-WAY/6-WAY.
I guess it would be Spine Defence now but whatever.
I'm unemployed, so I make maps.

There did remakes of the old sunken D maps already. Each one was popular for like a day and then died, I played some of them, and even though it was the same as the bw ones, it just didn't have the same feel.

Yeah, there was a SC2 sunken defence map some time ago (autumn last year i guess), but nowadays i haven't seen any....

I played it once and it wasn't as much fun as it was in the original SC.
