You want to play custom maps but you are alone ... Come on play with us during Map Nights!
Tutorial: Game Lobby by ubdead
The game lobby is controlled both by Map Properties and Game Variants. It is not user friendly at all and this is why ubdead has written a wonderful guide to explain all this. I have seen many lobbies that does not appear to work as intended. Read that and you will be able to fix it :)
Space Bound by AzothHyjal
AzothHyjal just released his map: Space Bound. Check it out :)
But, the real interest relies in Orbit: it is a library that does a N-Body simulations, allowing units to attract and repel each other using mostly realistic physics. This is really impressive!
Open the Campaign Maps by Beider
If you don't know it already, all the campaign is being done using the Galaxy Editor, even the Hyperion! You can check all of them and see how Blizzard did it. This is pretty instructive. If you are afraid, Beider just did it for one map :)
Snow by gurluas
Blizzard removed a tileset that looks like snow from the beta. gurluas made a sample map to put it back :)
