Protoss has 3 different entrances they can 4 gate you from so you have to build 8 bunkers to get your expansion up if you FE. It's not any better for protoss, as if they try to FE and you go for mass marine/marauder they will need 8 forcefield to block the bottom of their ramp that leads to their expo. The map is basically telling you to play it 1 base style or to all-in or do something mega aggressive. And then if it does get to mid-game...as mentioned, tvz Terran will get a planetary at gold and be able to attack from every direction, not to mention siege tanks get a free watchtower to shell the opponent's gold...lol... and collosus also will reign king on this map i'm pretty sure. | ||

Pros(For Me): The best part of this other than new maps, is that they are bigger maps, which will lead to more creative and thought out strategy as opposed to cheesing. Cons(For Me): They took out Shakuras?!? I do not like them too much, because there is not really a wide open area to be used for flanking. In huge battles, it will still be giant army pushing into the other. I do not know too much about balance, but Backwater Gulch and Slag Pits seem very unbalanced positionally. | ||
