Other than that though, the "Terran exploits" are nothing new. Pay attention to building placement and go for higher mobility units (like mutas over infestors). | ||

In the case of the 2nd map, the rocks made the travel distance about 30% longer in vertical spawns, while also adding an element to abuse with a later timing attack. I should also note that a lot of people (Zergs particularly) don't hate rocks outright, just when they block expansions. | ||

Blizzard is definitely getting better at the map-making thing (nothing like Delta Quadrant, Scrap Station, or Steppes on here) but I don't understand what they have against 3-base play o.o dont you reckon if they just made Steppes a bit bigger it would be ok? i really loved the layout of that map. i miss it a bit. | ||

It is starting to get a bit boring with only gray/blue maps. I like the 4th map, both in design and the colours. I don't really like the larva theme either to be honest. I wonder why we don't see more maps like metalopolis? I think the whole "city theme" is kinda cool. | ||

There are things players can flat out lose to without scouting, and with these maps they player can't even build reactionary units. Not only this, but a large amount of strategies have limited map control. This means that taking a third is impossible for that large amount of builds. The problem isn't with the build makers, but with Blizzard. They don't give players units for area denial. They encourage "rush" plays that don't give the defender an advantage. The game doesn't need to be tuned for casuals. The matchmaking system allows them to play at a lower level. Getting a third is a thousand times easier than building exactly what they need to defend the opponents hidden, cheesy tactics. The thing Blizzard really doesn't understand is the rock-paper-scissors nature of these kinds of maps, the blind countering, and the luck when it comes to scouting because the distances are so close. If you scout a 6 pool last as Protoss on some of these maps, you'll be in a lot of trouble. | ||

If steppes was about the size of xelnaga caverns or slighty bigger, it'd be a kick ass map, it was one of the best looking maps blizzard's done in terms of just the overall feel of a map, but then a terran made a tank in his natural and hits your main mineral line and you cried. | ||
