We never do cloaked versions. It only makes the already horrible map fragmentation more awful.

OK, I've got a complaint that's not about cross positions or aesthetics. Why do some of the maps only have 2 spectator slots?
It's a bug, it's been passed along and is being looked into.

Love the texture changes, I would love to see some high level games cast on them for entertainment. :D
|
I really like the modified Tal'Darim, I think it looks awesome.
|
The gameplay modifications are debatable (I personally don't like them, but I'm not paid to play this game, so whatever). However, those paint jobs ? Seriously ? I'm going to self-moderate because I'm tired and say that I disapprove of them.
|
The modifications for actual gameplay are most of the time quite insignificant.
The aesthetic changes I simply don't understand. Why?
Also, if you do changes like that, you should change the name of the maps as well because they are actually related to how the map looks like.

This is so cheap.
I know it's kind of a thing right now to say Metalopolis is a horrible map, but at least back it up!
I agree, personally, that Metalopolis really doesn't suit my play style but that doesn't make it a generally bad map.

Love the new looks for metal and shakuras. Not sold on tal'darim yet. Antiga + shattered are fine but not big enough of a change to comment.
Pity you guys have no daybreak though, that map's the shit but i'm not a fan of its deco and would have liked to see you guys redo it

Why isn't it a bad map? at least back it up! 
Personally I think the map is too simple with the mere two laneways between bases or one if close by air, and there isn't much room for exploiting the terrain especially in close by air because of how simple it is. There aren't any tactical positions to hold apart from the obvious gold, and you can essentially just walk straight to your opponent's base without needing to navigate at all through the terrain or be weary of flanks or sorrounds like on Tal'Darim for instance. Overall it's just not an interesting map, it even has the bland grey colours to it that add to the monotony, and this is all compounded by the fact that it's played so damn much that you want to gouge your eyes out every time you see it in another tournament. It's no wonder GSL removed it from their map pool this season and Blizzard wanted to remove it some seasons ago.

Anyway I guess the only changes will be looking at a different landscape.
They could have saved themselves a lot of time not doing this cuz it's not like any1 really cares.

People care and these maps will be played two more years now cos it's so cool and fresh!!
Wouldn't that be a nightmare? : D

It's good that you brighten up some maps with better textures and day time but please don't make maps even more darker by using that crappy lava texture, it's so ugly and really really dark.

FYP
I don't like randomness in my Starcraft. I would will be happy the day that every map forces cross spawns.
But I have to say I don't like the re texturing.. To be honest, I find it kind of silly. I'd rather see actual new maps.
|
Why are those maps always cross spawn enforced? Maybe i dont know much about starcraft 2 but i thought it comes with the maps and everything to have to adapt to each situation....

The problem isn't that metalopolis is a bad map per se (it has survived this long for good reasons).
You see, that's the real problem: it has survived this long. Maps should not survive that long; they should be replaced. A map's high-end competition life should be hard capped at 1 year IMO (many people would say 3-6 months). If you count the beta time of Metalopolis, we're coming up on 2 years pretty quickly. KILL METALOPOLIS!
Well put, sir!

OMG I LOVE the map tiles they use. I really want to play on these :D
|
Wondering why Antiga has no forced cross-spawns when all the other maps do?
|
All the maps look amazing except for tal'darim.
I guess I just hate the scorched firey tileset. Looks terrible IMO.
