actually the lost temple, they just add 2 roads to the island to make it a high ground.

and WTF.....................if you change the terrain theme of typhon peak..........aint it................................Twisted Meadow? WTFLOL

and now i wonder how much worth is the lone mineral patch in the middle in slag pits....hmmm....

luckily lost temple is still there. I was like holy crap when I saw lost temple removed

wonder why they keep delta quadrant and eliminate shakuras plateau....

i just checked my latest 25 map stat, FU CK!!!!!

im having 0-4 on scrap station (srsly this map is bullshit man......

and a surprisingly 7-0 on Delta Quadrant

6-1 on Xel Naga Cavern....

it will be removed and will be replaced by The Shattered Temple....its now up in PTR server, hey, there are quite a few important changes in PTR....bunker 35 sec to 40 sec, fungal growth reduce from 8 to 4 second, there will be no khadiran emulate upgrade for HT.

Are all the maps much larger now compared to the ones they've removed?

And finally Steppes has been removed. There goes my 75% win rate vs. Zergs map

Long live Lost Temple. Best map in Starcraft!

my steppes is 5-4, not very impressive....=( maybe thats because i dun really know how to play a short game =(

Added on February 26, 2011, 1:17 pmbet you are a terran. at least you are not a zerg haha...im a terran but my lost temple record is not good too....something like 5-5 only..

upgraded only... the Lost Temple DNA still there at The shattered Temple

try playing other race vs terran and tell me this =(

protoss player here

the natural cliffs in lost temple is pretty retarded, dun like it at all...

hey! the new maps are up in ladder already!!! shit, havent get used to them yet =/

Just veto the three new maps minus the remade Lost Temple and you'll be fine LOL even though Crap Station is still there.

This post has been edited by westley0214: Feb 26 2011, 06:45 PM

whats the point of veto-ing -.- just gotta learn it through the hard way!

Scrap station is too small! Make it slightly bigger will be better. Alot cheese play in that map

I can't veto since I m random so gotta learn all maps.

Tried Slag Pits, it's such a small map that total base is only 10 in total (Same amount with Steppes). Rush distance from natural to natural is so short it's almost too risky for Zerg to FE.

Slag Pits is funny lol..........it has so many spawning location like a 4 player map but its so small! lol....nat to nat is uber small, i dno whats the point of destroying the small path rock also as going from main road is almost as short, they have cliffs for tank drop too =)

i played against a protoss and basically reaper LOL-ed him hard...many cliffs =)

anyway, 1 thing i like about this map is, i can expand systematically, cuz the bases are so near, i just expand and expand and expand and they look like 1 whole line of bases which are relatively easy to defend from end to end.

Lol ur awake so early

9am alrdy mah

owh shit......just realized protoss can do the inca cannon rush on slag pit.....

All the new maps have short rush distance if not spawn cross position. Even close by air spawn position has shorter rush distance than those of Metalo and Lost Temple.

I <3 it!

ya, although they are 4 player maps, they were categorized as SMALL. lol....i find backwatergutch pretty hard to secure 3rd base.......

Added on February 27, 2011, 1:49 pmbackwatergutch close ground position = steppes of war lol.......look at the steps..haha

Anyway stim research and bunker build time are getting nerfed on patch 1.3. Guess blizzard compensate this by making the maps smaller? I'm going to laddering hard before the next patch is out LOL.

yaya ^^ fungal growth damage is insane after patch 1.3, 8 sec damage shorten to 4 sec (damage > heal of medivac) + 30% to thors. marine thor = lulz

Added on February 27, 2011, 2:55 pmblizzard do love their destructible rocks...

if you read the last sentence in every map description, they start to sound the same. "Destroy rocks to have a 10 seconds access point to your opponents natural"f*** YOU ROCKS!!!

FG would be much more useful against stalkers (infestors in ZvP)

All the new maps looks pretty good, at least better than those replaced one.

???????? the 2 new maps if close spawn location is shorter than steppes....cz they are SMALL size despite having 4 spawning location...good for terran tho...

anyway im just mindfucek why blizzard dont just take all 3 GSL maps, those big maps are fantastic.

and take away shakuras instead of delta? blizzard's explaination is shakuras is a plain macro map, too boring. o0o blizzard love 1 base all in or 2 base all in.

Not sure though, maybe they wanna test something out? But the 3 new GSL maps are pretty good though. Shakuras being removed is really a big let down, don't know why Delta is still there but not Shakuras.

Season 2 gonna come out after patch 1.3!! ladder reset!

so we gotta play placement match again?

some rush distance is retarded as u said...
shakuras u wont spawn close which is damn awesome and yet it is nt there T.T

i prefer the 3 GSL maps as well...
those macro games are nice to watch...

but map creator need to be careful with the difficulty to secure 3rd, if its too easy like...crevesse or wtv, forgotten the name adi, protoss get to secure the 3rd very easily and hence i think toss are favored in such maps. The one with inner 6 mineral patch that can only go in via natural.

WTF IS WITH OUR DEAR BLIZZARD?????

i didnt down vote any maps and i got this shit this morning........almost all games this morning are on Slag Pit for me.....WTF? moreover slag pit is like the worst nightmare for zerg......WTF MAN? i hate this map ALOT o0o


blizzard needs a better random map choice generator...


this is not the way to promote your map indirectly blizzard the more i play it, the more i hate it. puik

i though u r terran~???

this is my smurf account to play for fun only normally i jz play random but this 2 weeks wna train zerg so i play zerg very frequently lo

I actually like the new map because it suits macro style. Compared to the small maps i can't really play well.

But in some maps really hard to do forge expand (protoss player) due to the super huge gap.

Metalopolis spawn position has been fixed so that no more close spawn? Or this only applies to TSL3 modified Metalopolis?

Added on March 21, 2011, 2:04 pmEdited: Just checked out and it only applies to TSL3, besides on Shakuras only cross spawn is possible.

the only good thing about the new 4 player small map is your opponent cant blindly go 6 pool cannon rush cuz they need to double scout to know your position unlike in steppes or blistering.
