The smallest map in the Frozen Throne folder is 65 KB (a 4 player map). The smallest map in the BroodWar folder is 65 kb (a 2 player map). I stand corrected, only looked at the NGL maps. But those are still a full MB bigger and don't do anything more special than the Blizzard ones than advertise their names. | ||

Well that makes sense, since they implement graphics that aren't found in the regular game. A "tree" or whatever in the .mpq folder might be close to a MB, so it's safe to assume outside images coming in could increase the size by a MB or so. | ||

I never wrote my post in support of Blizzards decisions. I merely explained why they did what they did. I want to be able to watch replays online just as much as you guys do. Don't attack me for posting useful information, it makes you look like whiny fuckheads. Frozenarbiter: Yes I am aware that some War3 melee maps are small, similar in size to BW maps. However, the UMS are much larger, and this must have been why Blizzard decided to do what they did. This was Blizzard's decision, not mine. I agree with you: it's stupid. The methods suggested by other posters are a better way of enabling online replays. Tell it to Blizzard, not me.

Blizzard is being just stupid, this is ONE MAJOR ISSUE. Wow, fail harder. Yes you do need the map, I never said you didn't. Stop putting words into my mouth and learn to read what I wrote, rather than jump to stupid assumptions. | ||

"Hey guys you wont be able to actually play each other at launch, its a feature we'd like to add in the future" Ok that was stupid but you get the picture... we're supposed to have improved experience, this actually diminishes it, hope they wont pull a wc3. | ||

I don't see why you say this is why they made that decision. There is no difference between this and downloading the actual ums map for when you want to actually play it. Infact, you don't even need to support replays for UMS if you don't want to (they are unwatchable when sped up in BW anyway): Again, where are you getting this from? Where did Blizzard say this? What am I missing? You say "this must be why" <- Why? It makes so little sense that I refuse to believe Blizzard would behave that irrationally :S There must be a better line of reasoning. | ||

Where do we go to download replays if we cant get them from the new battle.net? I do not want to go to some third party site to get a replay. | ||

It just isn't a big deal for a majority of their customers. | ||

I do not want to go to some third party site to get a replay. What is the big problem, and trying to put all replays on one server would likely cause some mess. Just alt tab, find and download replay it takes less then a minute. btw. how long was SC beta? | ||

It's sad that they're omitting some of them, but I'd prefer the game to be released on schedule rather than have them delay it just so that they can include couple extra toys. Yeah that is great but the game has very dubious mechanics now, and if they want to rush beta in 4 months then we can end up with the game that patch will not fix. Also there is no guarantee that they will add those feature after the game gets gold status. | ||
