I made this mod as requested a while ago. The mod includes the changes seen in the latest HoTS Battle Reports. The mod is public and players are encouraged to publish new maps using it as well as adding the mod to other regions.
It is avaiable on NA and EU (though the EU version isn't updated as often as the NA version). There are a few maps avaiable now: Cloud Kingdom, Ohana, Magma Core and Tyrador Keep.

All abilities included and bug free! (As far as I know)

Warhound custom model made by GhostNova, and Locust made by Thrikodias. Also thanks to Existor for the map icon, loading screen and the Gravity Sling icon.

Yes, because we love blizzard and we want to play the campaign, and many of us will want to use the amazing new editor.
Also I'm sure blizzard will do a better job on HotS with bug fixing than this (no offense)

but seriously i hate how blizz is pushing balance to HOTS. WOL is still an esports game you know... i wish they would finish or at least try to balance it first without putting in more units because they have to...

They don't need to balance it. The players will balance it just like they did with BW. There's nothing that's so OP that nothing will ever counter it. Certainly not disagreeing that there are extremely strong builds, but nothing is unstoppable.

So that's your response? "nothing is unstoppable"... but the game design is wrong here. In order to have a balanced game, it should have a strong foundation which this game certainly does not have.

Shit Husky playing HOTS is so annoying to watch. But great map Soul.

Can't find it on eu, what do I have to type into the search bar?

Is mothership core mobile in this version or is it still bound to nexus?
|
@Math.random: At this moment I can't really tell ifthere's a map published on EU. I know the mod itself is, so feel free to publish maps. The mod name is HOTS_Melee. I'm trying to get a reliable EU publisher but it's been quite hard.
@Tritanis: Its still immobile. I'm waiting for more info on that. There are a few changes I'm supposed to do based on Kim's interviews but I'm waiting for now.

There are no stats about speed of mobile Mothership Core. So it was not intended in any HotS map. Same for widow mines

They said BCs lost the Redline Reactor ability, and that damage was buffed. Should I remove RR already?

Wait a bit. Just stay with current version. Or there will be people who will be dissapointed, that they haven't got changed Mothership core, when their enemies got Battlecruiser with bigger damage.
And you don't know how BCruiser damage was increased. Is it increased with fire rate or damage per shot.

@Existor: I understand it's best to wait for the MC movement and BC damage. But removing Redline Reactor is straightforward so I guess it's a good idea to remove it already.
@cursiv: I can't say, I never played Xenox's version. But mine seems to be bug-free, and the AI uses Oracle's Cloaking Field damn too well.

Some players reviewed the map asking for the Tempest's AoE attack, but I believe it doens't do splash damage anymore, can anyone confirm it?

No, it does single-target damage. Splash was removed once Pheonixes got the range upgrade, thus the Tempest as it is now known was born.

Hi guys, Blizzard asked me to remove the mod from battlenet just like they did with Xenox. So I'm going to do it in the next few days. Thanks for the replies see you in HoTS!

I wonder why they are forcing you to remove your map..
It also surprises me how easy it was for a few people to make an pretty much exact copy of HOTS multiplayer.
And blizzard wants us to pay 40$ for it.
Yes I know there is a new campaign. Which I dont really care about.

@Steglich: They said they don't want players to get confused by any misinformation if they play the mod. They also said it is against their rules and that kind of stuff. But I asked them if there are other used allowed for it, like using the units and abilities in maps of other genres, like single player, RPG and so on. I'll post here again when they answer me.

T.T sad news. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

Ok.. Well their explanation does not really make sense, do you think?
What should the players get confused over?
Whoever is playing your map know that it is a custom game and not the actual HOTS game. I mean, they joined it themselves.
But thanks anyway, please do write again if they answer you.
Also thanks for working on creating this map for us

yes, we have to buy it because blizzard is forcing guys like you to take your maps down. See the other thread...

Blizzard wants people to judge HOTS multiplayer through the offical beta and not through a custom map because the custom map will always be behind the offical client in terms of balance and such and people could get confused. It sounds silly, but just look at the battle.net forums full of clueless people and you might understand it more. It's of course a bummer for the guy that put effort in this custom map but at the same time I'm also seeing Blizzard point of view in this.
and yes, the beta is approaching really fast

I just removed the mod and maps from NA. I hope you guys had fun.
EDIT: Here's a little something for the community! Spread the love folks!
