Carnivorous Sheep Baa?21242 Posts January 29 2009 06:42 GMT #1 So, I decided to follow up on my New Year's Resolution. After years and years of Theorycraft in lieu of Starcraft, I decided to actually play some Starcraft again. I expect to fail miserably and hover at the D-D- level, but hopefully it'll be fun. My question is, what are 1-3ish maps that are good for a beginner (assume I played NO Starcraft before this) to start getting familiar with and playing exclusively on for iccup? I plan on failing on just a couple maps exclusively before expanding my horizons to newer and greater lengths of fail.

DownMaxX Canada1311 Posts January 29 2009 06:47 GMT #6 Large 4-player macro maps I guess? Python (overused anyway), Andromeda, Othello, Colosseum II, ect. Also Destination (2-player).

Carnivorous Sheep Baa?21242 Posts January 29 2009 06:49 GMT #7 Okey dokey, sounds good. Thanks for the input, to Python, away! edit: I coulda sworn there was some map pack thing for download on this site that included a lot of the currently popular maps. Can someone point me the right way?

Carnivorous Sheep Baa?21242 Posts January 29 2009 06:54 GMT #9 Aha, iccup. That's it. Thanks.

CDRdude United States5625 Posts January 29 2009 06:58 GMT #14 Like other people have said, Python and Blue Storm. Maybe pick one of the MOTW's each week as well.

Vivi57 United States6599 Posts January 29 2009 07:36 GMT #17 Destination is fun to play (and I'm pretty bad too) 2 player maps have less positional variation (cross positions vs close, like dropship play on python)
