In a less personal note. I'm not liking the new LT, it really seems too short even in cross positions... But at least JB and steppes are out of the picture. | ||

Since they took five maps out and put in 4...maybe Shakuras was intended to be replaced, they decided against it, but it got removed anyway by accident? Please? Did anyone like Slag Pits, though? It's a big map with no bases on it....doesn't that please nobody? | ||

Backwater Gulch. "Destroying rocks will provide additional attack routes.." Shattered temple. "Destroy rocks to reveal alternative attack paths.." Typhon Peaks . "Destroying rocks will provide for additional attack paths" Slag Pits. "Rocks open shorter attack routes" Slag Pits close spawns there is 20 or 21 ingame seconds from bottom of your main ramp to opponent's ramp. On Metalopolis, it's 23 ingame seconds close spawn. ...... | ||

I'm confused, I have the most even win% on this map (besides the obvious hard to take 3rd if he's across the map laterally. Rush distance so short and natural entrance sooo wide :/ | ||

Strangely enough I think I'll miss Shakuras, even with its backdoors. I just liked that map for some reason =/ | ||

I'm not too sure what makes a map "good", like python. however, I'm pretty damn sure it's not "adding depth" to maps by putting letting players be "sneaky" and take down backdoor rocks. For this reason, I'm glad blistering sands and jungle basin are gone. Strangely enough I think I'll miss Shakuras, even with its backdoors. I just liked that map for some reason =/ Yeah. I really don't like the rocks mechanic that much. Although, I think that's just a result of being a terran player, as the point of being a meching, macro style terran player is to control the point of engagement, and rocks make this more difficult.. | ||

One player's back expo is much closer to the other player's base by air. There are a few other tiny things that give one player an advantage due to spawn locations. | ||

But I can see if the games go late that Z has a nice advantage. And that new lost temple thing is pretty damn awesome for Z with the huge open middle. I think everyone agrees - GSL/iccup maps plz! | ||
