Ok so... I havent been playing SC2 for a while now. I do few rounds of melee when my mate in online but between, almost nothing.
There were few good custom maps, but then end up being outdated.
So, I'm looking for few good custom maps now.
Anyone with good list of custom maps ?
I'm sure I wont be getting same results here as on bnet popularity list.
List:
02x Star Battle
02x Catalyst: Cityscape
02x Hunterscraft
01x Income Wars
01x SOTIS
01x Bounty Hunters
01x Combo Arena
01x Left 2 Die
01x Bunker Wars
01x Zerg Hunter RPG
01x Marine Arena
01x Heroes of the Ancient Temples
01x Nexus Word Wars
01x THE Card game
01x Zealot Frenzy
01x Jurassic Park
01x TMA - Team Micro Arena
And I dont really play custom maps since they get so boring...Sotis was fun for like 5-10 games and then It got boring. I would say its good try to remake dota, but its still lacking.
Income wars...Iv played like 5 games of it. Its simple and on first page....Meh its a timekiller game...
bounty hunters was ok too...not really special, but it was fun for a while.
Combo arena is the best! because its mine :(....maybe its too hard for some anyways (and I havent fixed all the bugs)
I dont really play custom games or ladder....I just make my own maps. The quality of the custom maps is quite bad im afraid, but if I had to pick some games....
1. Catalyst: Cityscape - everything about this map is awesome. Easily the best map I've seen around, and the only one I'd actually dub as "awesome" - nr 2 and onwards are all at least decent, but if I had to give numbers, Catalyst would be a 9/10 map whereas everything up ahead is more like 7/10.
2. Heroes of the Ancient Temples - way better and more balanced DotA than SOTIS, just not played anymore.
3. Doodad Hunt - incredibly clever concept, worked out well and lots of fun to play.
4. Nexus Word Wars - see #3. Shame it's not played in EU anymore, really.
5. THE Card game - see #4.
Note that #3, #4 and #5 could probably share a third place in this list, I consider all of them to be more or less of the same quality.
All in all there really haven't been a lot of maps I can honestly call good. Catalyst really is the one map with such a quality that it makes me say "this map is awesome, replayable, fairly original and just damn fun". All the others are, as mentioned, in the 7/10 range, and past Doodad Hunt, Nexus Word Wars and THE Card game pretty much everything else I've seen is more like a 5/10 or 4/10.
Will have to note that there's a couple of high profile maps that I haven't played at all, though. Stuff like the Cortex roleplaying maps, the Zerg Hunter RPG and Maul's TD all seem like they could be pretty good, but I haven't given them a go yet.
Thats all i play. For other maps i only play them too see if thier is something i like that i can incorperate into my map , such as SOTIS, got some good hero ideas there, i might steal a spell idea here and there , though very rarely , so thats my only reason for playing other custom maps :P
1) Catalyst: Cityscape (duh)
2) Star battle
3) Jurassic Park
4) TMA - Team Micro Arena (yeah own map I know, but I think its fun and I can play it against AI)
5) Hunterscraft
For those who havent played it...I have released unlocked version of it somewhere in mapster. You can test the 2 bosses in the map and take a look and maybe learn something. (I probly wont work on the map since it seems a bit too big of a project for a single person + I have my card game and Goku firebat series).
Personally I've been briefly entertained by SOTIS and ZHRPG. SOTIS is ok if you're too lazy to load up superior versions on Wc3 or League of Legends. ZHRPG is nice with some interesting heroes and fills a gap in RPGs for Sc2. But it is also terribly unimaginative. As far as custom maps go, though, I would say they are the most interesting and well done of any of the maps on the top few popularity pages.
I have played many of the maps listed in this thread, but most are either abysmally low quality (Star Battle) or ADD gameplay (TDs/Tug of Wars) you are better off closing Starcraft and firing up a flash web-game site.
Yes, that seems to be how it works. Now that this thread is once again among the unliving, don't see why not continue it.
Magicide Azure Strand (The other one wasn't good imo)
Catalyst (All of em were pretty good, only got to play Cityscape a lot though)
Starmon (It may not be out yet, but I don't care)
RuneCraft (I wouldn't have made it if I hadn't liked it)
Hmmm... Don't know who to put here. Bomberbots is definitely a great map, I just don't enjoy it much cause I'm horrible at it. Reds and Blues? OH OH OH! Monobattles.

@Jackolas: Go
YEAAh! Hunterscraft is the best!
For those who havent played it...I have released unlocked version of it somewhere in mapster. You can test the 2 bosses in the map and take a look and maybe learn something. (I probly wont work on the map since it seems a bit too big of a project for a single person + I have my card game and Goku firebat series).
I would like to ask from everyone to keep this thread clean. You can reply and not include list, its no problem. But when you do, try to do it clean.
Use code for next row since this forums doesnt have it automatically(lol...)
Also, try to add one more space between each title.
I can state StatusQ3, 4th post as best example.
Every once in a while I will count all and write all on 1st page.
Oh, and I will try all those maps :) . Tnx a lot.
Sorry for voting for my own maps, but I do play my maps, and I do like playing them.

It's all about taste. I like playing it, and some other players like it too. If you like or dislike Debates, you can see and vote here: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=163758
So far, 53% of the players like to play Debates :P
nice digging..
