If any map should be brought back definitely should be Luna and Tau Cross.

Luna was for awhile the "New LT" and was played forever definitely a balanced map. Tau Cross was just a favorite because it was in WCG and kept being in WCG.

You know, when I read this I assumed it was a friendly jab making fun of the Blizzard map making team.

Then I was disappointed to find that it was intended to be a soapbox for, "Guys! Give them time!" (Unless, of course, I've horribly misread something -- if so, Hahah! Brilliant!)
I don't think it's a soapbox for anything, it was just one line about Demon's Forrest after a joke.

Also, most of those maps WERE made by Blizzard. I think Bibbit knows that.

What you dont understand is that before bw there was nothing. Before sc2 there was bw. If blizzard is so incompetent in making good maps, they cannot blame inexperience.

There is no excuse for their horrible maps.

:D Peaks is a good map! its day 9 approved!

The thing is that SC2 maps all have two gasses and not just one so that you can get tech faster than BW >:O


In BW, you only needed one gas, as each peon returned with double the gas.

I would really love to see some true island hop maps in the pool.

Oh, and BGH Extra Money +++

Can't believe so many people missed the jokes! It was obvious enough lol.

Anyway, you proved your point, shitty maps do happen. However, I think people get really worked up over this over the fact that Blizzard will not budge on their position to makes all of the maps themselves, even though there are many community members working hard and putting a lot of effort and dedication into making some really awesome maps. Basically they're "here Blizzard, you can use my awesome map to make your game better and I ask for nothing in return" and they still refuse! I think that's the main reason people get upset (aside from blaming the game for their own losses ), and I do think that is a somewhat valid reason.

Either way, really funny post =) it did prove your point. Sometimes life gives you Metalopolis, and sometimes you get Searing Crater... that's just how things go .

LOL,

The OP was won not only TL.net, but also internets in general. Fantastic post!

I am also shocked at how many people didn't get the jokes. Shame on you!

haha thread was full of win and laughs, nice op ^^

this section got me the most:


Possible Issues:
- Hide Spoiler -
- Can’t place rocks because they would interfere with the Critters.
- Sc2 critters are considerably easier to kill than BW Critters.
- Hellion might be too powerful at clearing Critters.
- WC3 players and their sick creep clearing skills might have an unfair advantage. Conversely, they might become too focused on killing the Critters, thinking it will make their units stronger.

especially the war3 reference

You had me SIRLing at Crazy Critters. I totally played that map, so nostalgic.

Best. Map. Ever! I'd always try to convince my nub friends to play this map, but I had a hard enough time convincing them to play Lost Temple..

My proudest BW moment was owning two of my friends, 1v2 on that map. Hard contain + nuke push to break their tank lines, using ghosts to lockdown their BC's and killing them with like 3 wraiths XD
