Incineration zone is drop dead gorgeous! Mains and thirds are easily obtainable yet getting a 4th appears nigh impossible (read: hectic). Terran can pretty much overlook the gold expo from his main. I can already see reapers doing well with all the level differences/cliffs/ledges and thats without mentioning the linked backdoor protected by rocks... (read: more trouble for PvT reaper cheese!)

I looked at arid waste for a few secs before the server went down but its design seem to have been a lot more influenced by BW style maps.

Anyways, what are your thoughts on the new maps?

Incineration looks like it's going to be a nightmare with Reapers. Too much ledge space to really setup any kind of early barricade with units.

Both bases have a backdoor leading to the other's base thats protected by rocks.

I just wonder, can they make one fucking map without backdoors? ONLY ONE? it was a good idea but not on every fucking map, let us macro some more, and get too lategame. and bigger maps, 3p and 4p maps.

That map looks like proxy heaven ;_;

edit: to the guy above me,
LT, Metalopolis, desert oasis and Steppes of war dont have back doors, honestly they need to have variety in their design to figure out balance and sort out what maps are the best and most fun to play on.

makes me feel like they are deliberately trying to create maps where newbs could feel like they're having fun with all-in rushes that makes last less than 12 minutes each

I'm not sure what's worse about Incineration, the layout or how straining it is on the eyes.

Only map with a backdoor right now was blistering sands. And I guess Kulas Ravine if you want to count double rocks as a backdoor.

Thank you very much for the screenshot. The map looks very small indeed.

The linked backdoor can lead to interesting micro. Overall it seems like reapers and Terran players, as well as players using cheesy tactics could have an advantage but I would like to wait & see what is the outcome in the long run, and more importantly I would love to see some ZvZ action on this map

So much rage against the 2v2 maps. I've only looked at the previews for these maps but they almost all look similar to Twilight fortress (close spawns with ally and small chokes and closely shared expos). What I hate about them is that they all promote super turtlely play. Stupid stupid stupid design. Why couldn't they have kept LT and Metalopolis on there?

The new 2v2 map looks almost identical to twilight fortress. I am disappointed...

@Frykt: I think the lack of space is compensated by the fact that you can pretty easily secure your natural and third. You have enough space below and above the CC to build your raxes and whatnot.

It would be really cool if someone could figure out how to post pictures of the complete map. I'm on the EU server and I'm still waiting to download the patch.
