Went with Metalopolis, not for the gaming possibilities, but the design (come on, imagine how big the skyskraper that the map is played on is, considering you can have a war on it, and mine mineral/gas :O)

I like most of them, some a bit less (like Blistering Sands). There is one map I really hate though: Twilight Fortress, but it's 2v2.

Kulas Ravine for sure, virtually any playstyle is viable on this map - You can go for a macro heavy game, or proxy barracks in the middle of the map, there's plenty of opportunity for harassment and the multitude of destructible rocks offer a lot of possible pathways, which means you can always change the dynamics of the game you're playing if you chose to do so.

Who voted Desert Oasis?

Desert Oasis and Scrap Station can go fuck themselves

voted LT. I dont really like most of the new maps, they are pretty much forcing people into certain playstyles too much (close 2 player maps for quick games on the one hand and maps with ridiculous walking distance to force a macro game on the other hand). Instead of those obvious "hey we want to do this type of map" maps there should have been more subtle maps which allow for more variety in play imo.

I voted Kulas Ravine because I like having an easy second base, so I don't have to worry about taking my natural. :D

Toss up between Kulas / LT / Metalopolis. I ended up going with LT because it's just so standard.

Yeah I went for Metalo, but Kulas is 100% awesome imo.
All the 4p maps feels pretty cool compared to Desert and Blistering ... They are just weird and boring. Don't hate me.

Went with Lost Temple. What I like about it is that it plays (should play) differently depending on spawning positions. Now if I could just play it

Kulas Ravine is by far the best! Lost Temple is good to but I feel its so small..

voted lt because its a classic and because its very interesting and seems to create longer and more balanced games than the other maps

totally agree

the only thing i dont like about metrapolis is that its so dark, i think the map would fit more with lots of sunlight

In case anyone got a spare key please pm me.

And to the question, I have ever actual been lucky enough to try any of them but from what I have observed LT is kind of a schematic fir standard maps. But I find Kulas Ravine as the more entertaining watch as spectator at least, due to the easy expand, and the possiblity to try out heterodox builds.

I voted Scrap Station

Too bad none liked that... WAY better than Blistering Sands anyway imo... Lost Temple, sure.. good old classic, but amongst the new ones, deffinately scrap station!
