3 player Colosseum... wasn't quite expecting that lol. The edits to Bloody Ridge look especially interesting (island bases with watchtowers ftw), though it seems that with the removal of the original natural the space in front of the main choke might be slightly too open now. This version of Odd-Eye actually looks pretty much like a standard SC2 map. God's Garden might be too turtley, since it is so easy to secure 4 bases. And finally, I absolutely love the concept on Gauntlet (actually fairly common on BW maps) where the best and most open route of attack forces you to take the long route around the map, while the fastest way funnels you through chokes - sort of like an exaggerated Cloud Kingdom type of setup.

Overall, these are all very interesting, and I hope to see more BW map concepts and ideas applied to SC2 in the future. I'd be especially interested to see if the more "normal" BW map layout (farther 3rd base but with a very narrow choke to make it easier to defend) would work in SC2.

A lot of these look great, though not as much a fan of the first few. I'm curious how big God's Garden is, as from what I recall Calm Before the Storm was just a gigantic remake of that map. I like this version better anyway.

Please remake Blue Storm!! It was my FAVOURITE BW map!

With your expertise, I'm sure you guys can make it work on SCII!

Three player Colosseum is... definitely different -- but certainly welcome.

It's good to see some more 3 player maps.

Awh yeah Colosseum!! Gauntlet AE looks nice too, it also reminds me a bit of La Mancha which was an awesome map in my opinion.

Well done guys.

While I don't feel that all of the maps translated perfectly to SC2, I feel that they are at least all 'playable' which is more than you can say for alot of the old ports.

Beautifully reworked, while still keeping the spirit of the originals, this, in such quantity and quality, is something I feel unprecedented in the community so far.

My hat is off to you guys!

You guys have to know that the choke on colosseum is a flat one but blocked with LoS blockers so you can forcefield it with one and still have 3 buildings to wall it off

To illustrate what Superouman is saying:

Basically, you can emulate the effect of a ramp using chokes and carefully placed LoS blocking. This prevents 4gate vs 4gate from being the dominant PvP meta on Colloseum; you can defend with sentries.

I still dont understand how the sentry can see beyond the los blocker but the stalker can't.

That said if it works it's really cool, diagonal 1square ramps were starting to get a bit boring

(2) - ESV Odd-Eye AE by Timetwister
The best map by far

(2) - ESV Bloody Ridge AE by Monitor
Probably could be used with a few tweaks. Few to many man made chokes for me

(2) - ESV Gauntlet AE by Gfire
It's crossfire which is a BIG NO NO

(3) - ESV Colosseum AE by Superouman
3 player maps are bad >.<

(4) - ESV God's Garden AE by Namrufus
Too many rocks causing chokes, needs to change and that could work.

You place a unit or building in the natural highground to overlook the main choke.
