Cool changes. I mean not something groundbreaking but at least will bring some variety to the old maps. Although I do think that cross pos only in Taldarim was a little bit of overkill.

look good. Great job guys. I mean, Bel'shir Beach was changed to a different style to work with the seasons, why not change up these maps to bring some more spice to them.

I do think some of the maps don't have to be forced cross positions though, but /shrug, it's not that bad either way.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to make a good looking lava map in SC2, unfortunately

Renaming the maps makes sense for lore but pro players would get confused and those guys get cranky pretty quick over pretty small things, so there's no way they'll do it.

I agree the new look is quite nice but was it worth it? what's the point ? o.o

Also the depot thing makes sense, not sure if I like cross only on metal... especially since they took out the gold, too. Terran has a slightly higher win rate vs Zerg on there which can probably be helped a bit by removing the gold, but making it cross as well? not sure about that. It might make it even harder for PvZ.

On another hand, I like the generally brighter maps

Woah, feels really bizarre, specially Tal'darim/Shakuras though, I think this is a kinda cool thing though... but I don't really see why every map needs to be cross spawn....

I agree, but that would totally fuck up the way the map is played lol. I think they should have kept that as a gold, it was fine =/

Haha. Well maps are part of the game Plexa, so I think it's better just to say if there's something wrong with the "game", it can be safely fixed by the maps! :D

Either that or there is something wrong with the rules... lol

Wow wtf, I thought it was only metal. Well I don't have too much of a problem with cross spawn only, it'll give us more epic games hopefully, but I think it would be more balanced otherwise =/

Omg lol even tal'darim is cross...

Well, with all the golds gone, I hope Zerg won't be over-favored =/

I wouldn't mind having these tileset options on the ladder, as long as the actual maps are 100% the same

The issue with removing the rocks on that third (even if non-gold) is it makes it ridiculously easy for Zerg to get a quick 3rd, since it's so close to the natural. It's sure to be a controversial issue, but I think the mapmakers ultimately made the right choice here.

So is the short cross possible as well as the long cross on Shakuras?

I like some of the changes but I don't see the point of changing the textures, backgrounds, and just graphical designs of the map. It really only adds negative effects for the players. I also think some of the changes are zerg favored, coming from a random player. One thing I don't like is forced cross-spawns on Tal'darim.

The new textures are a mess, everything else was done well.

So all you guys did was force cross spawns, add some neutral depots, replace the gold minerals, and paint it with new textures? I applaud the 2nd & 3rd changes, but I don't think forcing cross spawns was really necessary. You're basically saying zergs need all the help they can get on these maps, which is not true. Having close-air positions enabled gives players different strats & tactics to choose from, which is all gone now.

I also don't get why you gave the maps a makeover. I guess having something different to look at is always nice, but is that the only reason? Tal'Darim especially looks quite dark to me which I don't really like.

At least they're not using Xel'Naga Caverns. That's a good thing I guess.

I find the new textures more distracting than appeasing. Sure, it will give us observers a new 'feel' but to the players, it's more distracting than anything else.

I always thought that Metalopolis is very zerg favored map, now that you removed gold IMO the map is compleatly broken.
