What's the best Starcraft map?

[beezerboy]

I'm asking, the people of Warboards, what is the best kind of starcraft map, like star photon d or poke'mon or what?

I say star photon d personally

[Kazansky]

(8) Big Game Hunters.scx

[beezerboy]

I was talking like use map settings games but that works

[SuicideCommando]

LT, no doubt.

[Tybalt]

Lost Temple is the most popular.. "I'll just say LT and you know what I am talking about." although it is the most popular it dose not make it the "best" strategy wise. All maps play to one's own abillity to control his/her force's the best. even though some maps are better for certin races. like how, maps with muiltable rise-ing and bottle necks are good for terran players and a map like The Hunters is a good one for zerg players (givin its large flat area and resource deposits are easily to find) other maps that combine higher ground with lower ground in effect to not give the player a defensive role are best with Protoss players
such an example is Power Lines.

All in all it depens on the player, and what their good at.

[Ahzz]

we have another thread with "favourite map" stuff. Scroll a bit down

[B.A.Baracus]

I just found a new map on some website that I have been using lately and its pretty cool. Here it is....

[U-238]

L.T. Thats all there is to it.

[B.A.Baracus]

Acheron is just as good, if not better than LT.

[Ahzz]

we got your point already. it's a opinion, stop praising maps, Wouldn't be surprised if you had made it.

[B.A.Baracus]

we got your point already. it's a opinion, stop praising maps, Wouldn't be surprised if you had made it.

No I didnt make it, like I said I found it on a website. "stop praising maps"
Then whats the point of this thread, to prais Ahzz?

[Ahzz]

you said your map once, no need to say it's good twice, right?

[jdb1917]

i agree say what you like and leave it at that

mine is sunkendefence.scx

[EvilEmpire]

There are some good poke-the-upgrades defences like HGM and 666...
but something involving more brains is better.. hmm why can't i remember any maps from that type... :confused:

[Glad_2_bestoned]

for ums i'd say.. um.. nexus d
melee Lost Temple.

[BrotherGreen]

Depends what you play and how you see it.

With a good DM, D&D is the best UMS map, also one of the most in-depth made,

but, to you action junkies, perhaps your a defense person, in which case I go for the classic 2-way sunken. Micro Arena / Nexus Defenders can be VERY fun

For melee, LT is easily the most popular.. well.. second to Fastest, dare I even call that a map -.-"

In my opinion there are other melee maps I like a helluvalot better, the kinds of maps you have to look for, therefore are never played thanks to lazy noobs who join in fads -.-"

Also, lets not forget my amazing maps :D

[hammocksleeper]

My favorite Blizzard-released map is Byways -- brownie points if you know this map.

[EvilEmpire]

My favorite Blizzard-released map is Byways --
Thats the only map available for multiplayer in SC shareware right?

[hammocksleeper]

Thats the only map available for multiplayer in SC shareware tight?

Yeah you got it!~ And it's a great map too.

[MidnightGladius]

Hmm, my favorite map is probably "Chronicles of Xel'Tharos - Crisis At Jhaldeir" - a LotResque map I worked on two summers ago. Of course, this was probably hugely biased for obvious reasons.

Melee would probably be Gaia or Arena.

[Vezer]

My favorite ums has to be zone control... to this day, I am undeafeated in it...

[Hikari256]

Melee

(3) Desert Outpost. You have to watch your money carefully, this is the anti-money map.

(4) Devotion. Beatifully done map, by Sylvester

UMS

Fleet Command (not that you can get a decent game together anymore)

Blind Truth

Evangelion Bete 1.57 (the one by Dekent.. all the other eva maps i've seen so far suck)

Fire Fighters

[Giantfish]

For ums...

Raccoon City by Panzer_Kavalier

I wasted so much time playing that map...

[Mighty_Little_Zergling]

(8) Big Game Hunters.scx

:tup:

[psycho42b]

Orbit Defense and Daegor's RPG.

[MidnightGladius]

Orbit D was fun, but once you can actually get a good game going with decent players, it becomes much more fun. Of course, doing the above takes a ridiculous amount of time >.<

[psycho42b]

Indeed it it, but listening to the shock of the newbies right after you told them they were gonna switch is also fun too. I only saw it once, and that was how I got it. Everybody else jsut comes to play it, and then goes back to their other Defenses. :(

[kref]

definatly has to be either simpsons mega carnage or gangsta warz

[frazz]

Tarpit defense(v 2.0 - 3.3)
In my opinion that map is a classic and always will be. Then there's jail break, but it's to easy for people to let you down in that one.
Speaking of which I'm making a tarpit guide for gamefaqs. I really hope all my work doesn't get banned off the site. There is another ums guide, so I thik it might work. My only question is whether or not to submit it.

[dogies29]

i think star sunken d is kind of good too

[B1x]

I like The Thing by MapMaker (He did actually create it).
I met him also. Actually, I've known him all my life, I didn't know that he was MapMaker until quite recently.
As for Melee, I'd have to say: (4)The Gardens.

(W00T 100th post! I SO OWN ALL!!!!!)

[celestial_shdw]

Good defense map is Blood Defense. It's really hard toward the end, but the problem is, most people aren't smart enough to create a suitable defense.

Also Pressure defense is good. The one with the unit tradeback is the best (I think I added it, but I'm not sure).

[Andvari]

where can i dl the dnd map on the internet? i cant get it on b.net. any links to it on the internet plz?

[MatGeo]

LT rocks. As for UMS maps... i like Zerg Soccer.

[Glad_2_bestoned]

for melee i like sattarchasm.. its the official 2005 map winner, for ums i like nexus d tvp :D

[Andvari]

anyone please?

[jwasafrog]

OK, I cannot belive that nobody has mentioned this map.

The best UMS map ever is Helms Deep, without a doubt.

The only problem is that there are about 50 versions floating around and usually it's impossible to get a good game going with people who actually know what they're doing. As long as you have the version made by JediEmisary and you're playing on USEast, you're fine.

Am I the only one who is hooked on this map?

It's pretty much a defense map except you're not defending against a computer.

[opcwal]

Why has no one mentioned Snipers Locks yet?

[Kamikaze_Chicken]

My favourite UMS map has gotta be Elements RPG, just so much fun to play

[hammocksleeper]

Why has no one mentioned Snipers Locks yet?

Oh yeah! I remember Snipers, I used to play that all the time. That and Simpsons Mass Madness.

[TitanWing]

My favorite Melee map is Lost Temple. Hands down.

[IrishDutchman]

Can anyone post Rush Hour here? I've seen it in replays, and I wanna play it myself.

[opcwal]

[Horranus]

Best melee map is Bridge to Bridge.
UMS is... I don't really play UMS that much anymore... hmm... Stargate SG-1.

[Alexisonfire]

ur maps suck

[MidnightGladius]

^Jays at his finest.^

Helms Deep is interesting, since of the ~30 versions that I've played, 15 just outright sucked (mass attack with like 60 uruk-hai, and then watch them get owned by 2 heroes), 10 were alright (challenging with good players all-around, and no obvious imbal [15k damage ATA gandy anyone? :/]), and maybe 5 were the one's I'd actually host. Those were very, very nice, and yeah, JediEmissary's was good.

[Horranus]

ur maps suck

What map do you play? Fastest Possible? HA!

[MidnightGladius]

To be frank, you have no idea what you're getting into. Jays, feel free to own this guy (I see you're viewing this, so good luck and have fun!).

New guys get some leverage, but please, don't make such an uninformed insult like that with your second post.

[Alexisonfire]

funny kid but really i would sadly prefer $$ maps over stargate sg-1 but thats not saying much cuz i would rather chop off my balls then play stupid sci-fi garbage were the star is the guy from macgyver and then we have bridge to bridge which i will say its a step up from $$ maps but its still far away from being good, just looking at it i can tell blizzard didn't give a fuck and tossed together crap as quick as possible ya this is hurting my head trying to think of the many imbalances

[MidnightGladius]

Not to mention that I don't doubt the fact that he could soundly beat you in 1v1 on PGT maps a hundred times in a row... that is, if he was bored enough to go through with it.

[Alexisonfire]

i was talking about how much his maps suck how shitty he is at sc is irrelevant

[MidnightGladius]

I agree, but it's been a long time since I've seen a good player willingly join/host a true Blizzard original map. Correspondingly, I have never seen a bad player willingly join/host on a map that wasn't on a similarly bad map.

Perhaps I simply haven't observed enough (two-three years long enough to be considered feasible?), but from my perspective, it seems that maps and playing skill are closely intertwined.

[Alexisonfire]

oh so ur saying u never join games like "2V2 0CLUTER XPERTS ONLY" that word "expert" is thrown around a little too much so i go in there pwn 3 "experts" and u know i feel like a big man after

middy get on sc today so we can play :D

[MidnightGladius]

To put it shortly - Nope.

And sorry - it's approaching midnight here, and I need to be up for my brother's flight tomorrow. Besides, it'd probably lag like usual. And that's not fun at all.

[Alexisonfire]

when u coming bak to america?

[MidnightGladius]

The 23rd of August. Yes, that'll take a while. No, there's nothing I can do about it.

[Alexisonfire]

T_T that sux. ur in china rite? go all rambo on those commies and conquer the country single-handedly and as ruler of china order them to get u faster internet

[Cpt.Chronic]

cause commies believe in anarchy, right?

[Alexisonfire]

commies are on the complete oppisite side of the spectrum from anarchy -_-

[vIsitor]

For Melee and FFA games I'm kinda partial to island maps (ie [5]Island Hop.scm, [8]Primevil Isles.scx, etc). Air wars are always fun.

As for UMS, err...well...I really don't play UMS that often. My repetoire in that area is too...narrow for me to make an unbiased judgement.

[Cpt.Chronic]

commies are on the complete oppisite side of the spectrum from anarchy -_-
Oh yeah, that was the Nazis, my bad.

and to stay on topic, this is the best map ever:

[DarkLStrike]

I still say its LT or Rushhour.

[WickedImposter]

FASTEST POSSIBLE IS DA BOMB!!!! j/k. i hate fastest. lt. is. the. best. map. ever. no. argument.

[BS_Broncofan]

for melee lost temple by far

for ums racoon city has best missions and strategy but the game i like to play for ums is scv football :D

[WickedImposter]

for UMS nexus destroyers is a great way to test counters.

[pyrathian]

Sniper Locks is by far the best UMS has to offer. Most Snprs tend to think that LTG (Laser tag) is gay, but I find that the tactical placement of units to overcome your objective/s can be a nice rest from snprs. Plus everyone knows that sniper locks players completly dominate in laser tag.. :| Especially since most LTG players that havn´t played snipers just automatically attack walk (bad idea). By the way.. Any laser tag map besides Miles or Triss are not that great.

I used to play normal melee but now i play FMP most of the time. like 7v1 compstomp (just kidding).

[IrishDutchman]

and to stay on topic, this is the best map ever:

what's it's name? Can you post it? It looks cool.

[MatGeo]

Since my last post i found 2 UMS maps which i actually liked a lot:
Micro Tourney which actually helps u increase u'r micro and midy's sword shield and scepter map which although not finished is surely gonna be great.

[mongoose41]

DotA. Oh wait, starcraft. Hmmm... I like Primeval Isles...

[PrestonBurke]

JudasCloud "The shifters" Campaign.

I know, there not seprate maps and its a campaign. But i enjoy playing his stuff.

As for UMS maps.... i havent found one i REALLY like. And i dont play melee...

[AnonCastillo]

Zone Control is good.

[Cpt.Chronic]

what's it's name? Can you post it? It looks cool.
Heh, it's a map I made a while back. I call it Dawn of Fate. You can download regular and observer versions in this thread: http://www.warboards.org/showthread.php?t=6246

[U-238]

Hmm, I might to have to change my vote here.

I said LT but Ride of Valkyries is growing on me very quickly.

[Ninja95]

I made a mass map called Shonen Jump Wars. The terrain isn't the best, but its a pretty good map with 6 characters with 4 upgrades each. Its based on Shonen Jump, the worlds #1 most popular manga monthly magazine.
