I'm totally fine with the fastest money maps, and they can be fun at times. What will make it different this time around is that they won't be part of matchmaking, so if you don't want to play these maps you won't have to.
I was somewhere, thinking something...

NR15 is stupid. it doesn't even take 15 mins on money maps to get to 200/200 and 3/3.


No one actually plays NR on fastest though, maybe years ago they did. But rushing is a big part of fastest particularly in 1v1. Its Zero Clutter maps which people play NR on... no rush till max unit limit usually, i think its a bit dumb myself.

Why would I want to play a Fastest Helion Possible map?


Even fastest has certain simcities to prevent this kind of thing so i doubt it'd be different in SC2.

In normal maps there are limited amounts of minerals, so spamming OCs isn't really viable.

But in these types of maps, unlimited money = unlimited OCs = unlimited MULEs

I don't mind people playing on fastest, personally. It's their choice - as long as they are getting enjoyment out of the game I'm happy with that. As long as they don't take a holier than thou approach to the rest of the world (and visa versa for that matter) then we should be able to live in harmony and celebrate a great game.

I agree with you, Plexa. Not everybody is into starcraft because they want to be the next EG sponsorship, or on the next plane to South Korea to train with the pros. Some people just want to play some awesome UMS maps.

As long as the fastest does not effect the ladder, I am fine. They could even have a separate ladder. That would be cool.

Hah, sorry for the badly made videos, guys. I'm going to try testing out an actual port of the generic fastest map on SC2.

I have absolutely no problem with people playing fastest. However, if blizzard makes one tiny, tiny balance change because of fastest maps ill flip my shit.

Sorry I don't think I am familiar with fastest map possible. Is it like BGH? Is the game speed just increased or just mass money like BGH?

mass money, but all the mineral patches are stacked onto the same spot, and they are all right next to the nexus/hatch/CC, giving you money as fast as possible without changing any unit stats or game speed. Don't you see the videos posted in the OP?

I don't see mules becoming too imbalanced mid/late-game, actually. Like Mr. Bravo said, you already have unlimited money. Protoss can chrono boost out probes quick to gain their advantage, and Zerg can mass drones quick for their's respectively.

FMP is inevitable. what im curious about is if they can set such that you can build a cc/nexus/hatch right next to a mineral node. that would be a hallmark for sc2 fastest maps

The idea for a map like this is dumb, the only reason it survived in sc1 was because it was seen as a normal map instead of a custom map allowing people to play it for stats. I mean, you could just as well make each SCV turn in 20 minerals per trip as doing this and call it fastest and it would be the same thing, and really who would do that? And why stop at 20, why not increase it to 30, or even 50? Then it would be even faster, no? BUT, that is the point, without a hardcoded cap like you had in BW (Fastest was the fastest you could have without making a "use map settings" map) you will not have a limit which will fragment the playerbase and ultimately destroy it.

Fastest maps will be dead within a few months of release, I am sure of it. What will survive though are the normal money maps like BGH since they don't change the game except for making bases not run out of minerals.
