You could get macro games on the map. The tight confines just made it a lot more energetic. I honestly don't remember a lot of games that "went long" - what we think of macro now wasn't quite so standard then. (Of course, my memory could be going - but I recall a lot of "quick build the wall, the zerglings are coming" and "dammit, another four gate". And the 3-rax stim timing.) | ||

Yes, Bronze science :D I have to see Snute's SH play on Steppes of War! (sorry if it's already here, I haven't seen it here, but I am pretty ignorant :D) | ||

Tanks did way more damage back then than now. I had a 1 hour+ one vs morrow or demuslim can't remember, anyway they ran out of gas b/c of having like 1 gas denied or something like that and lost the game ;o Don't remember exactly. Had some long TvZs too. It wasn't so bad if you played T, you could make it a macro game. Unless P proxy gated inside your main which happened like half the games. | ||

However, there has been some reddit discussion including psione from blizzard to publish the maps one by one. Well, honestly this would be quite annoying, the same way it'd be extremely annoying if you knew you had seven diseases among twenty and your doctor tells you one each week. I'd rather know the seven diseases at once, so I can think in advance of ways to cure them (what to veto, is this map playable in at least one match-up, etc). So yeah, I hope they tell us at once and rather quickly. | ||

However, we'll look to reveal a winning map every few days starting on Monday, October 6. The idea being that this will allow for a chance to discuss each map in depth. What the map has meant to StarCraft II in the past and what is could look like in the upcoming season. | ||

Is it possible that balance changes will be made, e.g. if Steppes makes it, that it might be rebalanced a bit? | ||

Maybe we can do a day-by-day breakdown of how to abuse terrible maps and win free ladder points  | ||

Hope Metalopolis makes it, I can't wait to go oldschool Kiwikaki with the MsC added in and just murder every Zerg. And would be funny if someone evolves steppes into a slightly bigger map afterwards. Had the best macro games on that map, because the defenders advantage was so big in the lategame. | ||

What the map has meant to StarCraft II in the past and what is could look like in the upcoming season. I'm super eager to know what the map pool will end up being. Building up on the suspense like that is a good idea ! Plus, I like how Blizzard is pushing for a more varied map pool (incorporating 3player maps in 2014 season 3, etc) On another note, how are you guys at Blizzard going to proceed for the 2015 Season 1 map pool ? All new maps ? Using maps from 2014 Season 3 again ? Please consider using community-made maps ! | ||

They should just add solid maps, I don't care if they're community made or not as long as they're reasonably standard good maps. | ||
