This is sweet! Also, somehow I want to see destination work for SC2.

Edit: I feel the tighter chokes in BW map designs will be too strong for protoss.

Are there any highmasters / semipro / pro sc2 games played on "weird" maps like these? Google is not kind to me.

Oh yes, I´d love me some small, yet defendable maps. More variety please.

Interesting to see, i wonder how these will work out with balance, considering we are playing a different game after all.
they look fantastic though, would be great to get more mixed maps in.

About time, stop whining BW maps are great.

Different games are different.
Not saying that they cannot be great, rather that no one can know. That's why some people, me included, are voicing concerns, because some of the maps have attributes that according to conventional wisdom would be bad, especially for Protoss. Only because they were great for BW doesn't automatically make them great for SC2.


Just reserve judgement and wait and see how the pros figure them out. Unless you're pro.

I'm not a pro, and I will reserve judgement, but why not discuss these maps and speculate how they might play out? That's what a forum is for.

Gaema, Bifrost, Guillotine (aka TvP nightmare) Oh the memories !

I'm loving it !! Hope it will be balanced for SC2 though.

Guillotine and Arkanoid look absolutely stupid and clearly not balanced a tall. The rest are cool though, they might work.

its just stupid too thing that any new mapmaker could make better maps then any of the established TL mapmakers.
its just unfair how easy they get some kind of fame or recognition just because they did a good job in broodwar.

sc2 gameplay is completly different and you have to understand what works and what doesnt or your maps will be crap.
i took me like 10 sec too see that forcefields will be absolutly imbalance on most of those maps.
they look like maps we did back in beta 2 years ago.
we always try to improve and add new ideas too our maps to make them more interessting but still playable. unfortunatly that is a long process because the community as a whole has to feel somthing needs to change, then we can start working on new stuff or otherwise it would not be accepted.

those maps we got here are 10 steps ahead of what we got now. it will not work and it should not work like that.
And fuck korean monopoly on mapmaking, they all act like we (TL mapcom) dont exist or something.

Edit:
The only acceptable map here is Caldeum which is made by jacky i think. he is a know and knowledgeable mapmaker so thats ok. not sure who made the others.
One more thing on Broodwar Ports: the scaling in each game is completly different so you cannot just copy a broodwar map 1:1 into sc2 with the same proportions like here. Guillotine, Arkanoid, Transistor, Bifrost and Gaema Gowon will all fail hardcore.
and i know what im talking about btw, i made made several broodwarports, propably the best you can find.

This is true. Different maps that make players do different things will mean zvp is interesting again. It's exactly what we needed all along. Every map right now is basically the exact same thing. Easy natural, close third, ramp into main, no cliffs, open center etc..

Anything that makes games look different is good imo, even if it's a little imbalanced.
It's spelled LOSE not LOOSE.

They came from a different background where MAPS influenced gameplay...instead of letting ONLY GAMEPLAY dictate map design...

It's not just about understanding what works. There were maps that were extraordinarily race favored ON PURPOSE...the power of a map is the ability to change what players can or cannot do.

SCII community is in this pussy state where they think "Oh, you can't move away from the established map design because then it would break the game! It would bring CHANGE!"

That's exactly what they're doing. That and the name value. They are incorporating these maps to try and pull over some of the BW fanbase. And KeSPA especially DICTATED how the game was played through maps, because they didn't have a game developer there to constantly patch and lead the playerbase to bitch and moan.
