Turns out Blizzard launched a new starcraft themed game today! Source
Introducing Maximum Novadrive
![[image loading]](http://bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net/cms/blog_header/mw/MWZT4U3BUIIZ1459449196877.jpg)
It's time to rev your engines! Brought to you by the creators of StarCraft II, Maximum Novadrive™ is a full throttle look at the Koprulu sector as you've never seen it before.
As Nova Terra, the best ghost in the Dominion, you will take to the mean streets of Sharpsburg with a fully customized vulture-class hover cycle. Navigate freeways depicted in stunning 16-bit graphics that almost let you smell the exhaust as Nova struggles against inattentive drivers and poorly enforced traffic laws!
Ride to victory
Nova's vulture bike speeds effortlessly through the lanes—but lookout for slower traffic! From other hover cycles to vespene gas trucks, Maximum Novadrive™ features cutting-edge Accidental Collision Kickoff (ACK) technology.
Have a blast
Compete in high-speed challenges against the most obnoxious vehicles in the Terran Dominion!
Traffic control
Tension builds as Nova's racing prowess lures local airships into the race. Avoid their strikes for as long as possible—or this ghost is toast!

Lol. I got 10000 on my first try.
|
Played a round, it's actually pretty fun. Not a bad game, not at all. 
|
|
|
Reminds me of a certain mission......
|
OMG that soundtrack
Game is legit fun too, 11530 at first try
I hope that's the sign that Blizz hasn't forgotten that good gameplay is what should come first in videogames

Did i miss something ? I thought it was nice enough to play 1 time, maybe twice but nothing more.
|
I got 12900. I think it's time to email David Kim about those valkyries though...
|
Hah, Blizzard is all over the place with these April fools news.
I got 11620 on my first try, after a while there are so many bombers all over the place it's hard to avoid them.
|
I'm done with Starcraft 2. Immediately switching to Maximum Novadrive. See you at Blizzcon.
|
I knew all these years playing trackmania would come in handy someday
|
Pretty cool, reminds me of Rock 'n' Roll Racing, which was my first Blizzard game. Nice tune!
|
9900, woo! Fun little game, i really like the spirte art.
|
15,940 on my first try. It's a legit fun little flash game.
|
I got 12k.... dem warhawks are fucking aimboter....
How this is even fair.

technically it's not flash but javascript and openGL ES. works on your phone too.
not super important but it's pretty cool to a n00b programmer like me.
|
11870 First try. that really ramped up around 10k

Yeah but flash game is shorter.

the vulture needs some abilities like speed boost or spider mines.
|
13.7k first try. All the sudden the bombers come at you fast.
Why is Blizzard doing stuff like this, when they could be working on some good SC2 maps?

because Blizzard isn't just one person. there's lots of people working for blizzard, and i'm sure whoever programmed this game has no involvement in making maps in the editor.
creators are often creative and having some fun can help spark creativity
duh
|
13.5k
Yeah after 11k it gets quite hard
|
12k... well whatever, as long as they're having fun developing

What?!! You're clearly mistaken! Everyone knows, that Mike Morhaime makes every Blizzard game ever in his mom's basement all alone by himself!
That's a fact! Just look at the credits of any Blizzard game ever!!!
And creators never have fun! Creating is not fun!
However ranting on about shit, I make up on the fly ... is fun!

first try: 9000 really impossible against 3 flying machines. they killed 75% of my health in 1sec.

how the hell?? :o VOD plz. It was like a wall of aim-bombs at 10k!
I think they added them on purpose, making it impossible to progress, hiding that there is no content after that.
When is GOMTV Novadrive League (GNL) starting?

I dunno, I didn't get hit at all until 10k, and then at like 14k I lost control of dodging the bombs. My 2nd attempt was only 13,300 and after that I didn't bother playing anymore

This is easily the next E-Sport right here. I got a bit over 14K but at that point they spam banshees and you can't do shit about it  like the guys above said, below 10K you should not get hit at all
|
I never tried slowing down, is there an advantage once you're past 11k to slow down to dodge banshees or just roll dice and luck sack it?
|
got that 11830 on my only try, that was cool
|
is that what liberators suppose to look like from front?

The current map pool is good for me. Different people have different opinions. Most of TL.net prefers maps which allow for a lot of strategies on each individual map. Some people, myself included, want a wide variety of strategies in the overall map pool.
Map Pool A - Each map allows for about 3 different strategies overall, and each strategy is viable on each map.
Map 1 - Boom, Rush, Tech (smaller standard map)
Map 2 - Boom, Rush, Tech (standard map)
Map 3 - Boom, Rush, Tech (larger standard map)
Map Pool B - Each map allows for 2 different strategies at most, and no single strategy works on more than one map. Map 3 only allows one type of strategy to work.
Map 1 - Boom, Tech 1 (probably an island map)
Map 2 - Tech 2, Rush 1 (small standard map).
Map 3 - Rush 2 (very small map).
From my perspective, Map Pool B allows for more strategic diversity than Map Pool A. From most of TL.net's perspective, Map Pool A is more strategically diverse because it allows for more options on each individual map. Neither of us are wrong; we just have different opinions on what makes a map or map pool good.

got 11.5k this was kinda fun but I dont think I will play it ever again
|
I really feel like they made this mode for the Nova Covert Ops, but then thought people might rage on them for a SC2 campaign not being SC2 campaign xD

I never said the current map pool was or good in my post. Even good maps needs to be retired.
