Blizzard seems slow but they obviously DO care. That's a very comforting fact to me.

I like "slow and well done" much better than "fast but rushed"

Thank you Blizzard! I haven't played the new maps a lot, but I am already liking the new improved map pool that lacks steppes, blistering and jungle basin.

Yeah! New maps are "macro 2baseallins" atm :/ The GSL maps are way way more macro oriented in every possible way

This threads been going on a long time for us not really knowing anything... have we found out if theyre adding all 3 maps or just 1 map? Its not really clear.


I think it's three maps, but one at a time. Blizz said in an interview they'd intended to be rotating maps more often then they have been, but they've been busy or somesuch. They said they wanted a map rotation every 3-4 months, so they might dole out GSL maps slowly, while also occasionally replacing one of their smaller maps. I'm kind of hoping they switch out one map per month or something. Keep it varied.

Also, we're not getting Steppes back, so can we please calm down about that?

They definitely need to get rid of Backwater gulch and Slag pits IMO. Anyway, all of the new GLS maps are superb, props to blizz!

This is amazing news indeed. I am not sure I agree with the categories though. In brood war we had maps and island maps. Those were the categories. I am not sure if it's good for the game to have categories be about their orientation in regards to macro; that should be the default (according to me).

Honestly I'd love to see some island maps for SC2, just to see how they're handled in this game. Not the best choice for BW obviously, but that's no reason to not even give it a try now.

I like the idea of categories though, if I'm understanding what they're doing correctly. I think it's good to separate them for newer players to know which style each will (probably) play out as.


There is a team island map. You can try it there.

Playing on/metagame in a team game is completely different than a 1v1. I don't see what would be so bad about at least trying it out, obviously not in a big name tournament right away or anything, but maybe iCCup or another big map creator could make one for some players to try out. I would, but my map editor skills are abysmal.

??? Haha they were? Or are you guessing? It makes sense I guess, but idk if Blizzard would go so far to be like that.


Guessing, but saying they removed Shakuras because they don't like maps with safe expansions, and then the very next week announcing GSL maps? I suppose it could be a pretty epic communication mishap, though.

The amulet change was made because HT energy upgrade was too strong on GSL-sized maps, right? I think we'll see the GSL maps when patch 1.3 comes out.


That would make sense; after all, even Blizzard can't possibly think Slag Pits is a map more suited to macro than Metalopolis, can they? CAN THEY???

@weaknurse

The fact alone that their maps will be used in the ladder is a great honour. It also really is good for getting a job in the entertainment industry I think that is more valuable them getting just paid for the maps they made.

Wow I have to say that adding all the new crappy maps right before such an announcement must be one of the most epic trolls in the history of RTS-esports.

I mean they really have a strange sense of humour: first they add those ridiculous excuses for maps and then they announce that these three great maps will be available soon? Can't wait. Also playing on slag pits and backdoor gulch feels even more terrible now lol. I guess I'll be sticking with custom games practicing the new ones.

EDIT: just put the whole thing into google translate, it also speaks of something like ladder season 2 starting with the new maps!

If this is true, this is absolutely amazing. I gotta say though, adding Slag and Gulch, calling them macro maps and then actually adding GSL maps to the map pool must be one of the best game developer trolls I've ever seen.
