And it begins to annoy me that maps need to be made so that PvZ is somewhat balanced. We're missing out on a lot of creativity | ||

Hockey: -very little changes in a Hockey arena, but the ice does change after 20 mins of skating on it. hence why the Zambonee resurfaces the ice between periods by the way, hockey and Baseball share this quality in that during breaks, the grounds crew can change the playing field by repairing flaws. Basketball: -probably the only major sport with very little change to the field of play. the court for most major competitions is almost always indoors, in a controlled environment. -the biggest change to the sport of basketball was the implementation of the 3-point line. This 3-point line is still being changed to this day and has seen experimentation with distances to the basket in different leagues. Tennis: -Grass, Clay, Concrete -concrete can have a number of different finishing surfaces one of which is Carpet used in some indoor arenas. -Grass courts and Clay courts can take on a personality of their own through wear and tear and are constantly being monitored and repaired. -Professional Tennis matches are almost always played in sunlight or artificial light, during non-precipitation. the only exception to this is that Clay can absorb water and can withstand a light drizzle. -Wind in outdoor matches can have a dramatic affect on ball control. Soccer: -for being one of the most widely played sports in the world, Soccer has never had a set standard for the dimensions of the field. depending on where you are in the world. the field can be really big or kind of small. -in FIFA matches, the field must be 100-130 yards in length and 50-100 yards in width. -like many of the other sports, this game can be played on different types of fields. Grass, artificial turf, indoors, outdoors. -there are some varieties of the game that occur on much smaller fields like indoor arena type soccer games -this game has also seen a change in the types of soccer balls used. -outdoor games have seen its fair share of matches played in rain, wind, snow, extreme heat and extreme cold. --------------- so as you can see. I think we miss the point sometimes that the map, even if its just the map, does become a character. its character shines through when strategies are conceived which take advantage of its character. which happens in any sport. | ||

Sounds like for a lot of people the ideal map is something like Entombed. Blizzard might as well just reprogram the game to start everyone off with 3 bases and 66 workers. Save us the time. | ||

The SC2 scene would be a lot more dynamic if we changed all the maps each season, or each 2 seasons. Atleast chaging half of them each season, changing the other half next season. | ||

What you describe is more analogous to a map's tileset than the map layout. Everything you describe, the layout remains the same. Still two goals, still 15 feet from the ring, still a diamond, etc. It's only the tileset that really changes, as well as some physics changes but do we really want snow/beach/metal/grass maps to have bonus/penalties too? | ||
