Playable: 68x68
Published on NA/KR/SEA as "Chaotic Arena"
Published on EU as "Chaos Arena"
Because we need more non-serious maps. This is more or less converted directly from a BW map I made a few years ago which was a mainstay of my high school lunch time LAN games.
In case you couldn't tell, the spawns are in the center, for maximum craziness. Basically you can either try to actually mine to get combat units or just attack with workers from the start (or a combination of both). Either FFA or team games should work - the more players the better!
Angled overview:
+ Show Spoiler +
Updates:
+ Show Spoiler +1. Limited creep to central area and expansions
2. Replaced destructible plates with mineral blocks (36 each), small additions to aesthetics
|
Very cool idea. If I had more Starcraft playing friends I'd try it out.
|
Id like to see this map expanded a little bit, where you have f.e. 3 of those hotspots and a little safer base
|
Oh, wow, wait, what?
You spawn in the middle?
I was sitting here thinking "this is a cute little 4 player map", and then saw "(8)" in the title. Looks like a lot of fun, too bad none of my friends play starcraft ._.
|
Traitor. 
Entire team goes T, repairz 1 health for 10 shot
|
I was gonna try a FFA map, then you beat me to it
All seriousness though, it looks hilarious, cute map 
|
I don't think you need the unbuildable plates. Too hard for zerg to take a third
|
wow looks really fun
can we get a channel going and see if we can get a coupla people to play?

LOL.
I agree with Semmo but it cracked me up reading such a serious balance comment on this map.
|
lol the plates are there to delay terrans just lifting off at game start and flying to one of the expos to mine unhindered, which was usually what ended up happening in the BW version.

LOL it was half-joke. But I think it's more boring if there are plates there. Who cares if they lift? stop them from landing xD
|
You should add expansions on the left, right, top and bottom sides because I cannot imagine those areas being used.
Maybe even make the outer expansions visible to all players? That would be hillarious.
EDIT: That and I think golds should have even better income, with like 20-40 per trip. Because people will just drone rush. Maybe 10. I dont know but there needs to be a higher income per trip.

this looks like something wnio would make

I can't find this map searching on NA. Under what name is it listed?

I had accidentally set it to private lol, problem is fixed now. Map is published as "Chaotic Arena".
@DilemaH: people can put buildings there, away from the general clutter and mayhem of the center.

Really sorry to ask again, but are you sure it's fixed? I still can't find it searching for "Chaotic Arena" in arcade or custom games.

make everything but the center unbuildable, force long-distance mining ^^

I am quite possibly retarded, apparently I reset it from private to private.
Fixed, and this time i actually checked to make sure it works lol. Search "Chaotic Arena" in custom games section, for some reason it shows up as 1v1 so you'll have to create game and switch the game mode.

Certainly you meant to say "best map of all time".

Congratz man! This map is in the bonus round of the red bull esports in a 2v2v2v2!
EDIT: Seing how that played out, when the zerg spawns try making it so that creep from the hatches doesnt start full
|
I missed it, does anyone have a vod link?
Also that's why I recommended banning Z in the map description lol, don't know if that shows up when you play it. Maybe I'll go try to mess around with hatch creep radius in the data editor or something.

You can just put creep blockers around the start areas. Can't wait to watch those games, lol.
|
Just added creep blockers so that creep is restricted to the dark metal area around the spawns, as well as the light tiled areas by the expansions.

I just saw this map played on MLG stream today. Oh my god. Best map 2013.
|
|
|
OMG wow they played this at redbull
nice
|
Can you publish this on EU aswell, map is super-entertaining!
|
Would you PM-me the map file ? I really want to use this funny map for my mod.
|
Even Day9 played some subscriber games on this map. It's a fun map, but how on earth did it get so popular?

I think I left the file unlocked on bnet, you should be able to download it.

copious amounts of bribery plus several blood sacrifices to the mapmaking gods

Someone suggested it to Axeltoss, so they played it.
From there, it spread to Redbull Training Grounds (where Day[9] was casting)
so now, Day[9] also plays it with subscribers.

Would be so great if you could put this on EU server

good map

Published in all regions (finally - sorry it took so long lol). It's still called "Chaotic Arena" on NA/KR/SEA but I had to rename it to "Chaos Arena" on EU because the original name was taken.
Also I changed the destructible plates blocking the expos to mineral blocks, mostly because mineral blocks can't be mined out while terran is floating their CC. In hindsight I realize the amount is really low (36 each) so I'll probably increase that later.

you heard it here first, this map will singlehandedly save esports
by being so bad that all the progamers run back to BW
|
the truth doesn't make a noise
|
Great Map, will play it on my LAN in two weeks for sure

Zerg has creep advantage and terran can lift buildings, you need to add some advantage protoss can use imo 
disclaimer: I am a protoss player
|
The only thing this map disappointing me of is that it doesn't have a 10/10 on sc2melee.net
|
But the EU Upload version is only for two players :/
Maybe Negative Zero can reupload it?! Would be great...

Looks fun. I'd like to play it sometime.
