Marine Arena
BEFORE YOU POST A COMMENT, PLEASE READ!
The only versions that I support, and that are regularly updated are: US Gateway version 1.0.0 (Published by Me and updated weekly) EU Gateway version (Published by MasterKiwa and updated every 1-2 weeks)
v0.9.9 is the old beta version and is no longer being updated.
The EU version has some minor differences since I've allowed Kiwa to edit and add to the map if he chooses to, but the core of the game between the versions is roughly the same.
Any other version not published by us, and on different gateways, is a stolen map, likely bugged, imbalanced, and completely unsupported by me. Anyone posting feedback on these versions are wasting their time since I dont care about the problems in those versions, talk to the guy who stole and edited my map without my permission.

Thanks, Crayon.934
man you should of put people in charge that know what htere doing they ruined the map i played it everyday sense its been released ur ver never fills up so its like fuck.
its cool man thanks for creating the map in the first place i love massing voids in ur ver :D the new one there delayed till half the game and over priced.
I havent edited Marine Arena since v1.0.
Anything new in V1.1 is all Ash or Josin's changes. I'm not an editor anymore, I've passed the map on to other people, all I do now is give help and advice.
Alright, I play marine arena everyday, usually multiple times a day. I have been a huge fan and probably one of the most dedicated players of this custom. Why in the world would you change the beggining so people can start with stalkers and hydras ect.? If your goal was to balance the beggining better it did not work. Furthermore, the game was fine the way it was. The new addition where u pick your merc and then get starting money is terrible. I refuse to play it until you change this. Seriously, it was fine the way it was, now it is completely unbalanced and silly, you cant make huge changes like this because it will change the entire metagame of the custom. Do something about it for the love of god!
Not my version, EU version has odins and I dont update it, talk to Kiwa.
MASS ODINS
there is a really annoying bug in your latest release of marine arena! somehow it is posible to spawn as many odins as you want. take a look at this http:dl.dropbox.com/u/7499473/Screenshot2011-10-03%2017_31_23.jpg
(posting it here cuz my battle.net account says that i got no sc2 license for us forums.. blizzard rocks) ^^
Mini Colossus is way op. It moves way to fucking fast, and if it's upgraded enough, almost nothing can counter it.
My version of MA is still the same as its ever been, if you want to play it, its still published. V1.0 is complete and isnt being changed anymore because it does not need changes anymore. If you dont wanna play it, then play Ash's version and stop complaining.
MODIFY THE COMMANDO.
Jesus christ the Commando is ridiculous. One shot kill with spectre? ...really? So basically NO hero can match the Commando. Fucking fix this unit, it makes the game so unbalanced. I get that you need an "anti-hero" unit, but why not one that can do 75% dmg instead of a one shot kill system? It makes for an unbelievably boring , unbalanced, and frustrating game.
Marine Arena used to be fun...now its just hero wars gone crazy.
This game used to be very fun now the hero's have taken over. the dt and ht are way too strong and cheap. void prism for the dt should go, i thing is way to cheap for a clocked unit that can blink out of any trouble. the cool down of blink should be set higher. get back to basics this game is about the marines and mercs come out with new ability's for them.
Hey crayon... Seriously? have you played with the DT and the new void prism thing. lets just say. the game just started and i bought a HT.. he put my HT into the void prism and killed it before the prism closed. i know its prolly just a test run. but you should prolly fix that soon cuz MA is my favorite game lmao.
this game was good but is getting fucked remeber this game is about marine arena no hero arena or merc arena heros liek dt or ht r to powerfull and arnt expesive colosusus is very expensive and isnt that good as those others dt noe can do void prison a hold army of 200 that too many u can get killed but a dt he can close a oserver or gosht event if he can see it how can it be posible now dt can void air same la hold army of 200 if the one doind void prison vas fenix and he can do just 1 so no all heros r uses and expesive except for dt and ht this is marine arena no hero arena or merc arena remeber that if u wnt to keep ur pppl playing it
The most recent update in the 1.1 beta just rigged the game. The marine attack upgrade is always 200, thus totally broke the map.
Crayon, marine arena is the best custom map out there. The only thing I have a problem with is the Infestor. I find it almost impossible to kill the infestor if a player knows how to micro remotely well. I've tried many different openings and the one most likely to beat it (marauder) gets completely owned. Trying to be aggressive against the infestor loses your whole army and sitting back and trying to stay alive loses the majority of your army. It is harder to see the shadow on the ground than it is to see a disturbance in the screen when a ghost or DT goes by. On a lighter note, Marine Arena 2.0 is amazing!!!!
Crayon.
Do you think DTs are too strong? or that energy for Scan should regen faster so we can at least see them every once in a while? Also, i think the High Templar's Psi Storm is way OP. Marine Arena used to be about micro, now its about guerrilla attacks with Heros. At least have a game option where Heros are disabled, bring back the classics :)
<3 the map crayon, but the bug with the current version not allowing people to team together means that it;s impossible to get a game going because of all the people leaving due to trying to randomly team together.
Nukes cost money, its easy to spot a ghost, and even easier to know where the nuke is going to drop, and you use many different elite or hero units to deal with that ghost. For the amount of money and effort someone puts into using nukes, they should be able to make a profit, else why would anyone ever even attempt to use them?
All defense buildings have a huge detection range, towers can detect single units at a huge range (long before a ghost may cloak), and have extra scan, and a BioHazard symbol appears on the minimap if there is a hero visible.
hey crayon i just finished a game of marine arena..and i gotta say..ghosts being able to use nuclear strikes is really cheap..especially when a partner lags out..and its like a team of two plus another team of two against one person..i mean no matter how much u upgrade..or how many forces u have..all a ghost has to do is nuke u..and wham! alll those forces are gone..i mean that is really ridiculous..i think that you should remove the nuke power..or reduce it or something. thank you
when will patch 1.1 come out im getting anxious to use frost bats and murder hybrids and stalkers and goliaths because those are my down falls'
i need my frost bats they need to come really really soon!!!
keep up the good work
I am baaaaack! coming out of retirement i am getting my ass whopped out there. its all good i adapt and overcome. your tanklings suck. too slow to spawn or too slow to move. i understand what ur triyng to do but either they spawn faster or get a tiny armor upgrade. they are awesome against tier 2 and 3 mercs...except for stalkers. stalkers still have that annoying anti bio weapon that changed the way i play for life. need a natural anti stalker unit. they can still be beat but need some thing that will make players think twice before buying them. they never used to bother me back in the early days but they are a pain in the ass now. keep up the good work crayon!
