You can see on maps 1 and 3 a tower rock and little rocks on the natural ramps.
These are probably the reverse rocks which you make them fall to block paths. However i have no clue if you can destroy them one more time to totally clean these rocks.

The two Jungle screenshots look goergeous :o

Also, what the hell is wrong with the maps... No rocks blocking expands and only blue bases. Map 2 is a fake

I like that underground infested char texture, it's interesting to see a fully infested tileset added.

The interior protoss lab looks nice. Finally protoss have a texture set for them (along with the lost temple cliffs).

But the new maps look bland and poorly textured. The 2nd one looks interesting though. And the new disposable rocks just add a gimmick layer to something already gimmicky. Like if they gave 1 free forcefield for each race at the beginning of the game.

The second one reminds me of lost temple, but then again, so do many many other 4p symetrically mirrored maps. (esp jungle ones)
I'm not really sure I like the idea of being able to close attack paths with rocks, I'd rather close them with more bases aka peaks of beakdu/xnc

Are those bridges in that first pic? If so then FUCK YEAH! I can finally finish my bridge oriented map when HotS comes out.

I also really like that first texture set, and that second map looks basically like a non-fucked up metal IMO. Don't know if prodiG is happy about that....

At least it's actually symmetrical this time, that's a start! Also, no gold bases (although something tells me that is going to change).

I'm not sure the bridges are for melee maps. It would be really cool, but the WoL campaign had bridges too(protoss ones mostly, but still), and this new screenshot also looks to be a campaign shot.

Didnt the 3rd level (Surviving zerg attacks for 30 minutes) have bridges that crossed over the lowest level cliffs?
Anyway. I acturally wanna upgrade my graphics card by the time this comes out, so I can own up the campagin on the pretty graphics

Normally I'd say tileset xy is my favorite etc but srsly all of these are fucking awesome and I am totally looking forward what the aesthetic geniuses in the mapmaking scene can do with it!

Personally I guess I will start with the second one, looks like a badass jungle <3

So to list the new tilesets (guessing their names):

Spaceship Interior (Terran)
Unnamed Dark Jungleworld (Jungle)
Kaldir (Ice world)
Underground Char (Infested Cave)
Spaceship Interior (Protoss)

The last three screenshots from the original post seem to be from WoL textures, or a mix of them (the volcanic activity on the green world seems like a bel'shir + redstone mix). Let me know what you think of the names; of course the grim looking dark jungle world is a planet from the zerg campaign they did not yet reveal the name of.

It does seem like its a moving starship but I doubt it will be implemented as a moving object on the map.

I think this is a normal space tileset with a new animated background.

We should have people that actually try to make their own original tiles. Like I did with my icetile but ofcourse at a much higher level

Imagine a moving platform on a map to connect two bases.
Like a horizontal elevator kinda thing.

You can get some units on it, and float to another place/base. But if you want to reinforce, you have to wait for the platform to come back to you base, where you can put some more units on it and fly to the front :D

That would be cool!

Anyone else rather disappointed with the new map layouts?

In the first one, the gold looks too easy to hold for a terran player, and a third looks difficult for a zerg. This map doesn't look horrible, but not great in any way.

The second one looks very awkward for toss/terran because of very small mains and weird ramps to the natural. And they had better not allow close positions. Otherwise it's OK, but like metalopolis it's very easy for a zerg to get up to 5 bases fast. Here a zerg can even get to 6 pretty easily if they have map control.

The last seems to have a pretty large positional imbalance. Otherwise it's kinda cool I guess...

Most of the protoss stuff looks like doodads that we may not see in melee maps. We have however not been cheated for a tileset in WoL. We have access to all the textures and cliffs used in the campaign and look at the cliffs:

Am I not the only one dismayed at a lack of a yellow sandy desert level competitive map? Everything is green and blue, it's ridiculous.

Those new cliffs are AMAZING.
I LOVE that gas planet one
the space platforms are actually thin like platforms!
The lava platforms are actually supported

AWESOME!!!!!!

EDIT: I just watched that video again, and I have to say the new cliff models look at least 100000% more awesome than the ones we have now.

I am looking forward for the new title sets. I did not think that Blizzard had anything new up their sleeves, but the gas giant station and new lava title set clearly show that they have some creative map features in HotS.

Can't wait! ^^
