I don't necessarily understand the decision to bring back Metalopolis.. They took it out because it was one of the original beta maps and it had run its course for the time being. It was gone for ONE season, and now it's back, taking the place of three maps that weren't especially terrible.

Example of a terrible map? Slag pits. Steppes of War. There was nothing wrong with the three they took out... I think Metal needed a longer rest than just one season.



1) Those maps are terrible. There's a reason why Metalopolis was a map still used in tournaments. When have you ever seen the 3 removed maps in tournaments except for Blizzcon Qualifiers and NASL (Backwater Gulch)?

2) Their reason for removing Metalopolis was also because of close spawns, so it seems right that they remove shit maps and replace them with old and better maps. A lot of the BW maps have been used for years because they're just good.


That doesn't change the fact that its dated and boring - You don't evolve the map pool by going back to the old standard, just because it works. You evolve it by constantly tossing in something new and risky every now and then.

The "those maps are terrible" argument is personal opinion and nothing more.


Blizzard actually does something right for once, and you still bash them? I really hope you are joking or that you are misreading something. If not I feel sorry for you. It must be terrible going through life a curmudgeon.


You and I have supremely differing opinions on the definition of "bashing". Furthermore, I've never really complained about anything Blizzard has done with Starcraft. Don't lump me in with the mob, sir.

This is amazing. I'll only have one veto this season for xel'naga. Maybe shattered also.

I don't really hate Typhoon Peaks as zerg because it's not impossible. You can win if you outplay your opponent.

2 close spawn maps now

Close spawns are removed

I don't mind playing them on ladder, if anything I'd want the progamers to downvote these maps in tournaments.
Anyway, except for GSL and Korean weekly, I feel that the tournaments map pool is way too static.

I'd play backwater gulch than Xel naga ANY DAY. Only reason why pros said it was a good map was because we had steppes of war then. Not to mention , why does sea server have different map pool than NA?.

You have one veto besides the two non-tournament maps. Veto xel'naga?

Why are they still using Metalopolis. That map looks stupid, and is way too old. We can't learn more about map design and race balance if we keep using this map. Who designs their maps? They need a dedicated map designer for pete's sake.
