Blizzards Custom Map Spotlight by Blizzard
Blizzard posted last week two new maps for their Custom Map Spotlight. One of which is from our very own gamfvr.
Star Battle
First up we have Star Battle. You may remember we put this map in the news awhile back.

Category: Ship Battle
Mode: 6v6
Author: zedu
Description: Star Battle is a 6v6 map that allows you to command powerful warships in space. Join a battle between Terran and Protoss warfleets and crush your enemies with highly customizable ships of war. Enjoy this large-scale, DotA-esque battle of push your way to the enemy command center. Be careful, the risks are high and there is no respawn.
Star Shooter Defense
Next up we have Star Shooter Defense, as luck would have it, we had this placed in the same article as the other map (odd huh?). Don't forget to stop by his thread to give him any new feedback!
Quote:Map Title: Star Shooter Defense
Category: Shooter
Mode:3rd Person
Author: gamfvr.
Description: A 3rd person shooter where you defend your base against incoming enemy troops. Pick one of five iconic Terran units and battle in the frontlines as you beat back wave after wave of assailing enemies. Each class has their own unique skills and abilities so level up, gain minerals from your kills and call down reinforcements to survive all 50 waves.
I havn't even updated this map in like a full year. This was created back when the map editor was still a new tool to us. So it was cool back then. Since then I've lost interest in updating it.
@zrankfappa: Go Why feature a map which is popular since the release of the SC2? It doesnt makes any sense. It just shows they really dont care at all.
lol, a joke! Gimme WC3 Hosting back, and ppl have to open their ports manual. Perfekt! 80% cant host like WC3. Is that purpose? What is in theyr head? Are they proud of this? Dont realize how noob they are?
@zrankfappa: Go
I'm not mad about Star Battle being featured, but i just dont understand how that Third Person Shooter map got featured of this Third Person Shooter map
I always laugh when people get angry at maps like Star Battle being on the first page and getting featured.
That's the only bad part about these map spotlights, people get butthurt that Blizzard didn't feature their map *cough*FockeWulf and go on rants.
And a map doesn't need custom UI or custom models to be good, I hate that way of thinking.
random map pick again ( _
)Why they never highlight map with good looking custom UI, high quality, good scripting and etc? Something of exceptional quality and at the same time not so popular (usually because it cannot climb to 1st page and nobody looks further).
It's always something what is already popular and have pretty simple gameplay. well, it's just my opinion ofc.
Probably a random number generator has better luck selecting good maps, than blizzard. Thx blizzard for shiting in our face.
Star Shooter Defense aint bad, but has 0 replay ability.
LOL wow, a third person shooter... and its not mine.... wow..... just wow.
