UPDATE: Map has been released! Click here to download! ( ~4 MB ) Go forth and play!

The map has also been localized! This means that you can play it regardless of your gateway (e.g. US, EU, ASIA)

(NOTE: When you are in the Lobby for this map, please remember to order yourselves in HOT COLD HOT COLD team order because Starcraft still doesn't read Custom Map Team settings in the Lobby!)

To learn how to play Custom maps on Starcraft 2, visit the first quoted section in the original post of my previous Turret Defense thread!


Edit -- Since someone below said that they weren't familiar with this map, which I actually found to be VERY surprising, I'll explain how it works:

The game is essentially Capture the Flag, but you control one Ghost. Each match is 30 minutes long and your score (kills) are recorded in the Leaderboard. Truth be told, that's all there is to it. Its a very simple game, however its very difficult to be good at it. In Brood War, there were clans, forums, communities, and Leagues/Tournaments dedicated to this map. It was only fitting to remake it for SC2.

Hooray!

Right on time, like clockwork, when my Turret Defense thread begins to die down a bit, I pull off another mapping binge and crap out another gem!

(but don't worry -- I'll be adding hero units to Turret Defense right away!)

I'm so happy right now :')

[image loading]

Now you may be asking yourself, "Okay fine... so you resurrected yet another [AWESOME] legendary map from Brood War so that we can continue to enjoy it here in Starcraft 2. Have you added anything new?"

[image loading]

This little baby is probably a nice example. When you click it, the camera does a full 180 degree turn and up becomes down! This is very helpful for people who have a preference for attacking direction.

But to really put the icing on the cake for this map, I've done something amazing. No, I didn't do it by adding something new. Rather... I added something old

Since my computer isn't good enough to record videos, I'll just tell it to you in words: I ripped all of the original Brood War Ghost sounds and put them onto this map so that you can just DROWN in the nostalgia! I know I did when I first got the map to work!

[image loading]

And yes, the CTF rules work perfectly!

Also, credit and special thanks to Skizot from sc2mapster for volunteering to make me the classic Brood War flag unit when he learned that I was working on the map!

And to finish things off, here's an overhead view of the area where most of the action in Sniper Paintball took place, traditionally speaking.

Please feel free to tell me of any bugs and suggestions for better map balance like with Turret Defense!

Any chance of describing the map for those of us that didn't play the original ? Turret Defence is timeless but I have no idea what this involves
Probes need love too.

Can you explain what Bald and + Locks mean? I did not play that many UMS games in SC1. Thanks!

Bald Locks is the name of the map, I don't know where Bald came from, but Locks (in bw) was pretty much A clicking to shoot (You were allied to your enemies, so you had to A+Click them)

This map is for 2 to 4 players.

I'll edit the original post with a description of the map. I assumed that this map was timelses as well because like Lethargic a few posts up, I played ONLY this map for a good year or so a long time ago.

edit - done!

Nice try Whistling, because that's exactly what I did here and that's exactly what +Locks means in the name, both in Brood War and here.

Update on the map: I've setup the Anti-Camp timer and the A+Click. I'm just going to test play it to make sure it runs smoothly and then I'll update!

Funny how you had to target in bw.

omg HUUUGE nostalgia rush haha.

I remember back then I used to get dormant hacks for games because anti-cheat in games was so lax back then. AVP Gold for example had no anti-cheat so when I faced an Alien that could headbite people from across the map and be invincible I'd turn mine on too and make him rage. I had a maphack for SC just for THIS SPECIFIC UMS because maphacking in this game got really bad haha.

Ooh the memories. Thanks for bringing back this awesome classic!
Too bad there's no 50% cover bonus from trees anymore. Anyway to re-implement that?
Fight or flight? Yeah, right.

That's funny because people used to try every command in the game to try to get extra range or speed on their shot. Patrol moving, hold position, A-clicking the enemy ghost unit. I forgot if anything actually worked but I always A-clicked the enemy ghost and backed off if they started moving backwards because usually they'd kill me first somehow if I chased them.

for the people who dont know,

Bald means it has no trees. Snipers in 2001-2003 had trees to block shots, people removed the trees and made all players allied so you have to "lock"

which is A CLICK. the faster you are the better. There are a lot of cool tricks that arose. I.E. angling, dlocks, snls, shs

Hey guys, this is going to take a bit longer than I expected.

Apparently when I say "if player enters the anticamp region, set up anticamp", I inadvertently break every in the map... somehow... I don't know

Point is: give me some extra time. For now you'll have to deal with the lack of A+click and anticamp. I'm sorry, I know your heart is broken!

anti-camp is not necessary. Just like it is BM in SC to no gg, it is BM in snipers to camp.

Trees really made it come down a lot to luck due to the miss-chance, as well as promoting camping. this really hits the nostalgia button straight on...

One way I saw anti-camp work was to randomize where you respawned by enough that it was impossible to camp all the positions.

Thats not anti camp, thats just RS. So if people flag when you spawn you have a chance to RS them.

in broodwar sniping is still big and there are active clans on east and west. The current version of snipers is 33.4% mid spawn, 33.3% left and 33.3% right :D
