I banned that map so fast I forgot about it, hah. I agree with Scrap Station. Zerg can scout through easily with the spawn points being so close. | ||

I'm all for non 15 second rush distances, but the close/far position dynamic is an exciting part of BW games and it could be the same for Sc2. Also, you can't be afraid to have more open areas and see how the metagame adapts. | ||

They have to keep that to, have variety cant always be macro, yes you can do that on macro maps, but this way you are forced too, it be suicidal trying to go expo first etc. EDIT: Either way doesnt mean metal needs to be removed, just remove its close spawn. | ||

Then Shakuras would be different when they brought it back. They just silently removed it for a long time, and suddenly they just added it back (completely unchanged and didn't even fix the pylon-bug). (They even commented shortly before the first version returned and said Shakuras was a boring map, meaning it had too few rocks, no close spawns, no gold bases that could be blocked by rocks so Blizzard deemed it boring.) They then later removed it once again and days later added the new Shakuras. Pretty sure they just removed it because they found it boring, community cried because the only decent map got removed, Blizzard realized they needed macromaps and re-added it. :p But there must be something about Delta Quadrant that Blizzard just completely loves (or maybe it's very popular in lower leagues?), because it's the one map that basically EVERYONE at least gold or above thinks is really shit. It's like Incineration Zone, it took a day and everyone realized what a piece of shit map that was and Blizzard did the right thing and removed it. But DQ has now outlived two ladder-seasons, hope it doesn't get a third. | ||

Like the rest of you I'm hoping quick seasons will lead to a higher proliferation of good maps (imagine if they were all like Metal?). That's what I hope - but I'm just not sure if it will work out that way. | ||
