Keep in mind we only had Twilight Fortress for a short while during the infancy of SC2. Overall strategy, macro, and micro were pretty poor, so people tended to do huge turtle->timings. I always thought it was a great map. One of, if not THE, only good map in the 2v2 pool. I remember my jaw dropping when I read some Blizzard doofus' reason for it being removed... (will quote when I find it).

actually twilight fortress was bad.

The new map pool looks really awesome, but I hope blizzard considers making antiga a forced cross spawn map. I don't really understand why this isn't implemented, and also considering the current pool I'm worried that antiga might become one of the most popular vetos on ladder + maybe removed in upcoming seasons due to lack of play. It's really quite a good map imo, but only on cross spawns. Like cmon, tournaments are using only cross version.. why cant ladder do this too??
|
Is it just me or is the new map the biggest one by Blizzard yet?
Feels good so far, I'd gladly take this over Entombed as a tournament map.

thank god they removed korhal compound which was the most imbalanced tvz map ive ever seen (the tour addition is worse though).
bye metal ^-^
hello new map veto

Really looking forward to 2v2 plaly now that the map pool looks really good. I don't even know if I'll have to use all three map vetos.

BIG fan of Molten Crater! ^_^

They map they added is kinda odd with the third. I feel like it will end being a veto map for zerg and protoss, but a strong terran map because we can use PF and siege tanks to secure spots. Or we will get a lot of 2 base timing.
|
Haven't had the chance to play on the new map yet. Not too sure how I feel about Metalo being removed. I did have my fair share of recieving some nasty 1 base all-ins, but it has been in the map pool since the beginning. Guess I'm a little sad to see it go.

Rocks on third -> veto

They have, I have put it in blue in the OP post. Shouldn't be hard to read for whoever ever learned abc at school.

 I really liked Korhal Compound.
The new map play like Shakuras in the early game, but is bigger and has additional cliffs/air spaces and the mid is much more divided with easier accessible expansions. Seems like an ok map. I love the desert look of it. Reminds me of good old Desert Oasis.
|
The new map (CR) is okay so far, kind of a large map so I guess it's good for macro game.

Can any1 answer me? Is Condemned Ridge like Shakuras where players can spawn only left or right? or any where of the 4 spawns?

All spawns should be possible.
But its really not an issue since this is probably the biggest map in the pool since Taldarim.

The ridge behind the 3rd could make for interesting proxies in games involving Protoss...
PvP: pylon on highground, 2 gates on lowground.
TvP: Build proxy rax(es) on highground, float to lowground.
But these should be mitigated by the multiple possible spawn locations. Unless you're playing a certain semi-pro.
But I have a question...is there an alternative to the neutral depot to prevent the 3pylon block and bunker-block shenanigans? As a Protoss using a FFE, the neutral depot can create big problems in walling off defensively during an all-in.

Played a game on Condemned Ridge... Don't like it. Too much open area on the map where drop ships can hide there forever after a failed drop attempt.
PRobably gonna veto this..
