I mean, it's not likely I'd play it even if I knew, but the fact I didn't even know it existed says a lot. An open games list is definitely needed to improve the custom game experience. | ||

- An infinite resources battle royale wouldn't be fun in sc2 (explain why)? This is easily solved by making the resources mine out. The Hunters was already a better map than BGH for this reason. | ||

Less attention on econ and more on macro always seemed fun to me. I get a similar feeling now when I play a team game and a team member drops. You get this surplus of resources and you have to ramp up your production. It just feels fun. | ||

BGH would not be any different from what we already have right now. | ||

When finally succeeded in 2v6, I moved to online play. Spend most of my time on this map (around 2000 games), I sucked 1v1, it was so much fun, so many great strategies... Hard to say why in sc2 it didn't become so popular. Maybe people saying t1 fights were so much more exciting? Still, I'd love to see BGH with sc2 graphics, but bw mechanics and units. | ||

If BGH had removed sc2 macro mechanics, maybe.... I would actually say the opposite, or at least that was my feeling. I played BGH because playing 1v1 ladder games was too competitive, and I would play BGH because it was fun. With SC2, I can enjoy playing 1v1. I'll always be matched up against someone I can beat, unlike in BW where I didn't spend much time playing, so I had a low APM, which means I would get smashed almost every game, which just wasn't fun. I think that is maybe why BGH was played so much, I can't be the only one who had a hard enough time just building an army, let alone attacking attack with in, add in trying to expand too. BGH got rid of worrying about expanding, for the most part it was just building up a high tech army, which was much easier to attack with. | ||

My post was not the best, but we are both forgetting one thing, BGH alleviated the biggest problem which was "what can i afford from 1 base economy in reasonable time". And thats basically it. At that time. And it was multiplayer map, it was bound to be fun. 1v1 was always scary ;D Backstabbing... haha, i could not find a words when that happened to me for a first time. It reminds me of hostiling in D2, such cool "cruel" mechanics are missing from gaming nowadays. | ||

A map like BGH would never become popular on b.net 2.0 because the people that would be interested in playing it are already playing team games. It was the casual friendly map of its day it was also the only real team map you could play on that was remotely popular that wasn't a fastest map ever. | ||

I think a huge reason is because it isn't featured... I don't know that it would be boring because players would just mass X units, but I do know that you will NEVER find a game because of the shitty popularity system. | ||
