They have DOZENS of good maps made by fans which would offer them gladly to them if they included them in the ladder/in tournaments. And I hope, if they ever put Shakuras back into the map-pool, that they remove the backrocks. But that will never happen anyway. | ||

2. Blizzard has always had crap maps on their ladder, bit it BW or WC3. As much as we want them to adopt custom maps, their history has pointed to a strong stubbornness towards changes in their official map pools. 3. Not all of Blizzard's maps are bad. Metalopolis, Xel Naga Caverns, and Shakuras Plateau are generally accepted to be pretty decent maps, especially compared to the other maps. They are most akin to BW's large, macro-style maps, and consequently, they produce epic macro games. 4. I think Blizzard still has an ace up their sleeve in the form of the unreleased map Crossfire. http://i.imgur.com/MK4R1.jpg Seriously, this map looks amazing compared to their other 1v1 maps, and I'm hoping that they will eventually replace Blistering Sands or Steppes of War with this much superior offering. 5. With the coming release of chat channels, it should be MUCH easier to play on custom melee maps. I'm sure the iCCup or TL channels will be full of people asking each other for games on custom maps, which is much better than waiting 10 minutes for someone to join in the conventional custom map menu or finding friends to practice against. | ||

I think that map has too many unnecessary paths but it still looks better than certain maps that are in the current map pool. | ||

I would like you to be on Blizzards mapmaking team. They surely need some more crunch. I only want worldship in the mappool if it comes with trees, hearts, colours and biscuid. Total mayham basically! | ||

It's a Peaks of Baekdu BW remake: http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/korean/maps/6_Sin_Peaks_of_Baekdu Which also brings us to a point that random, community BW remakes are infinitely better than bullshit Blizzard comes up with. | ||

The new editor is so powerful, and we saw how much the development of new tournament maps lead to the growth of SC:BW. Blizz, please let user created maps be involved in the league maps! | ||

Yeah was just about to post this. I find it hilarious that the original guy was praising blizzard for making a nice map and it's really taken from the BW map makers. | ||

Can you imagine OSL/MSL/Proleague games on this map?: ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/wSp0M.jpg) A slight exaggeration, no doubt, but that's prettttttty much what Steppes of War is like. used to love bloodbath back when i played casually on the n64; not so much on the pc multiplayer somehow, short rush distances suck | ||

I think based on the popularity of the GSL in Korea that the viewers are getting bored of seeing basically the same game over and over and over. | ||

Looking at the GOMtv forums right now... you would think that the biggest gripe people have is the observer moving the camera angle during a battle. There's no mention of people wanting new maps anywhere there. Please post there! | ||

Map race imbalances are ok but no positional imbalances are not, Blizzard doesnt even seen to notice stuff in their own maps. Like no airspace behind minerals on half the map but tons of flying space on the other. Or maps where you can cannon peoples minerals or do funky wall ins, but only if you spawn in the right places. | ||
