There is absolutely no good reason to continue ignoring the community maps this time around. I could understand if they wanted to use their own, but they're not even changing the fucking things.

Remove Xel'Naga Caverns and Searing Crater. That is all I ask for. I can't veto all of them T_T

im talking about the individual "parts" of the activision-blizzard partnership, since "Blizzard entertainment" and activision exist, or at least to refer to just that specific section ( according to wiki

)

Ah, ok

I suspect they are in a bit of a deadline situation with Diablo 3, once that is out of the door we might see some light at the end of the tunnel

haha yea

tbh it seems like there's so little activity in sc2 they might only have 5 people working (dustin, david kim, Matt cooper, the third balance tester i forgot the name of that but isn't nearly as well known, and 1 programmer)

balance team has to share work with making maps, dustin has to direct, 1 progammer has to improve/fix/update Bnet 2.0 xD

SC2 will be so fun when someone figures out how to create custom Bnet 2.0 servers. Well probably get LAN at the same time to.

this has already been done.

Seems pretty counter intuitive to say that they want to make the seasons shorter to keep ladder exciting but then they're not going to change anything. O well. Hoping that all off blizzcon gets cross spawn ^_^

Ohh I do. I see the list in my dreams most nights. I also see server providers that change things when ever the pro scene changes.

Well I guess new maps every 2 months isnt really that feasible.. But I hope next season has new Maps for sure.

With the cutting of metal last season I was sure Xelnaga was not going to last to much longer. Its a real shame that this map is still stagnating the map pool with so many better options out there.

It's disappointing. They don't even have to make their own. Give us Daybreak!!!!

Blizz we'd be find with less frequent changes if you actually had good ladder maps. Let go of your pride.

LMAO oh man I sympathize with Blizzard guy (forget his name).

The older maps need to be replaced, not necessarily because they're bad maps but - as they've even conceded - to keep the game fresh. Shakuras Plateau, Xel'Naga Caverns & Shattered Temple need to be replaced. But personally I would also like to see Backwater Gulch, Typhon Peaks & Searing Crater (dear god why is this map still in the pool) replaced purely because they aren't good maps. Backwater for having too many chokes which favour Terran & hinder Zerg, and Typhon because it's not very interesting with too strong a defenders advantage for the 3rd expansion, games too often result in turtling and blah mass battles in the center because the rest of the map is unfavourable for engagements.
