Will it replace bel'shir beach?
Please use another name because belshir beach is already known in tournaments and it's not a beach anymore, you know

When air flies over the areas you lowered the amount that kinda much - their movement might look pretty dumb.

Nice remake! I'm concerned that the third is too hard to take for Protoss right now though. I think just choking it slightly would really help Zerg.
Also a small bridge through the middle would really help map flow and harassment in my opinion, and it would reduce the base races (because of split pathing).
Like this:

I dislike the location of the expansion against the main, because it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I can't imagine it ever really being taken instead of the third in the corner since it is much more open and close to the opponent's natural. Once each player has five bases though, it is practically impossible to take since it is so close to the opponent's base.
This is what I mean:

I might actually redesign the side expansions so there are only 10 expos on the map. Maybe a gold expansion to encourage splitting the map in different directions?
Here's an idea (might not be a good idea):

I'm all for winter maps, but why would you remake the most beautiful map of all time? ._.

I wish Blizz put more of your maps on ladder. I hate Ladder maps T_T.
|
I actually like the winter setting!
|
Looks awesome can't wait to either try it out or to have it seen in GSL.
|
I don't like monitor's suggestion with repositioning the bases. It reminds me of my map, TPW Ohana where there is a base near the main, but it is in such a position that neither player is more prone to taking that base. It becomes a "nobody wants that" type of a base. I would leave the middle bases the same.

Analyzer images ?

Yeah I totally second this! I really wish blizzard would take active roles in teaming up with a professional mapping team like Crux, TPW, Iccup, etc.
As for the map, I really like how winter maps look, and it will be neat to see this showcased in an upcoming GSL. Goodjob!

There are already 2 bases that are "nobody wants that" on this map, even without my change. I think these golds are more viable for both players, but you are right that they could be just as bad as before. I'm sure the expansions will play out fine, but I dislike the one against the main since it isn't very viable as a 3rd or 6th.

Instead of having solid ground, why not change the shallow water from the original into FROZEN shallow water?
Also, penguins.

wow very nice remake. looks pretty
|
Nice!
May I ask what your reasoning is about the removal of the gold expansions?
|
Nice work keep it up LS prime, I hope blizzard puts more Maps from creators like you and other iccup and GSL / MLG maps in ladder for 1v1.
cheers

I agree on that, it would look very cool....
winter is coming!

Sorry, but I really, really dislike this change. Bel'shir Beach was the nicest looking map in the GSL; now it just looks dark. This map should at least have a different name.
|
Would be cool if there were four versions of the map, one for each season.

Please no O_O Imo this map is pretty shitty and I hope it will be removed asap instead of being played for another year...
|
hmm, i don't really like the change of the look. now it just looks like a generic map, looks great as a map though.

Or even better... how cool would it be if units actually are 1/4 buried in snow?
|
Anyone know if this is uploaded to NA for play? Id really like to try it out.
|
This is officially the coolest looking map ever, imo. It's the kinda map I've been dying to get to play on in SC2, with the dark winter forest tile set that I LOVED from SCBW.
Where can we find this map to play it in our custom games?????
|
I don't want to completely write it off, but I hope it's available in NA, I would like to play it just to get a feel for it first. While I do like Snow type maps more than others. Bel'Shir was my favorite in terms of looks in regards to competitive play. This map as a snow version of Bel'Shir looks much less appealing than the original.
|
I'm pokin around atm on NA server and all I can find is the beach version. :<
I was so excited too..
|
|
Looks very nice, although I still dislike the removal of the high ground in the main. Looks good so far, but you really need to add some tress with Christmas decorations, reindeer, and snowmen doodads. Maybe even a flying santa claus model? Also, can we get some higher res pictures please?
|
Beautiful map aesthetics. Can't wait to see this winter them in the upcoming November GSL! Hopefully this will be uploaded on NA/AM soon. Keep up the good work LSPrime!

All GSL Nov. maps have removed gold minerals
|
can we get someone to put those crux maps on NA servers? they are sooo cool. the artwork is also very impressive. keep it up!
|
I hope there are polar bears and penguins.
Imagine Artosis and Tasteless.
|
oh my god this new bel'shir map is beautifull ! Cant wait to see it with some pros in there battling out.
|
Bel'shir Beach! BURR! SO ICEY!
|
looks very beautiful. i like that they change the season of a map for the season of the year, kinda cute, not sure how it will play out balance wise but looks fine from first glance, hope we see some great games on it in november!
|
I like the new aesthetic, but it doesn't really fit with the name. It looks much more like a mountain pass than a beach.
Also, I'll be sad to see the old Bel'Shir Beach go. That map had such a unique look to it.

Yea, thank you so much!

You guys really can't have ever been to a beach in Scotland. Beach != auto-sunshine.

Rework again for GSL2012.
|
Why do you and GSL hate PvP?
|
ah now i can finally like it^^
|
Looks good. Looks a fair amount like the snow stuff in HotS. Although I am still wanting a spring and fall version.
