I remember from my BW days that literally every 3v3 + 4v4 was on this map and it was so much fun.

Here is a picture of the map for those who are not familiar with it:

[image loading]
(the bases at 6 and 12 o'clock position are spawn zones too, but for some reason they are not marked)

-It had a feature that every mineral patch had 20 000 minerals in it

-The main had 16-20 mineral patches (I don't remember exactly)

-And 2 gases compared to the original 1 in other maps (in SC2 it should have 4)

Every game was a lot of fun. And even the noobiest players could go for their favourite tactic 20 min no rush mass carrier since they didn't have to expand ever.

Here's a game featuring Husky in it:

EDIT: google images gave me a different picture. Thanks to Charlie.Sheen the image of the map is now correct.

This is a 3v3 version of the map, by the looks of it. Definitely not the original BGH.

Pretty sure that's the Huntress, or a variation of it. Either way, I've always preferred the Hunters. Standard bases, but otherwise exact same map. All I played in Broodwar for a good number of years, atleast melee-wise.

It's reminiscent of the Huntress, but it's not that either:

This is The Huntress

BGH was pretty imbalanced, but it was still good times. It was sweet when you played 3v3 and you spawned at 12 or 11 o'clock and there was nobody else at the other one so you just get an extra natural expansion for free. :D

Use The Hunters, not BGH. The map itself is fun. It should not be for ladder, though, even if it is 3's or 4's.

I approve this thread and supported the one on bnet forums with the comment. Man, it was so much fun back in the day when me and my friends could barely play the game.

BGH sure was fun when you could barely play the game and only wanted to build carriers or BCs behind your wall.

Someone should definitely try this on SC2, to see if its at all balanced.

Man, I always played 3-4 player FFA's on this map. Was so crazy.

Again, great memories from back before me or my friends could play at all.

Son of a bitch. I just scrolled up and down between the two pictures like 20 times trying to figure out why the one you had in OP wasn't BGH....didn't even think that you may have edited it.

Does anyone know of an accurate SC2 remake of BGH? I can't find one with the correct number of minerals (15 for main, 9 for nat) and gases (4 for main, 2 for nat) per base.

Yeah i have no idea why it isn't

For the Korean HOTS 21 h streamarathon they freaking used THE HUNTERS for a showmatch between
MVP + Fan vs Bisu + Fan

It also looked like they had decent spaces between expansions, so no big abuse etc.
I dont understand Blizzard...
Why make Hunters map for a showmatch, and not add it for FFA or teamgames?

BGH was for the casual players synonymous with broodwar.

BGH was amazing, but I just don't see it working in SC2 (not to say that is wasn't extremely Protoss favored in BW). I think inability to just mass units or fool around due to early game balance revolving around spawn larva and forcefields would make it tough to enjoy in the same way. That being said, it might be possible to design a new map that does allow you to just sit back relax and mess around.

Here check out the Korean VoD on Twitch and skip to
2 hours 24 minutes.
http://eu.blizzard.com/de-de/company/events/heart-of-the-swarm-launch.html

And you can see a new Hunters/BGH map from Blizzard.

Protoss doesn't need forcefields in bgh. They just build cannons. lots and lots of cannons

There were a few conversions in WoL but all of them had flaws like directly translated size (map felt too small) or fixed hotkeys or something else that made it unplayable.
If anything they should make a new hunters since low hunters was soo much more fun compared to BGH. The koreans even had tosswar leagues and clans that only played tosswars ect.
