[COLOR=33DD33]A lot of them suck, but there are some really good bound maps out there. I'd say they are still popular. Me, I like them as long as they aren't one of those "OMG THIS BOUND IS REALLY FUN!" and then it's absolutely nothing.[/COLOR]

Every type of map lasts for a while then dies off. Look @ golem maps. I used to like them then they got boring. Now you hardly ever see golem games on battle.net. Same goes for mass games (mainly because they're boring).

Anyway bounds are starting to get unoriginal, and it really pisses me off when the bound name has nothing to do with the bound. For example I was playing a bound called 'Nautical Bound'. The only thing in the entire bound that related to the ocean/sea was that your zerglings were called sea men (not intended to be nasty).

Most of the obstacle ideas are used up, so each bound is a combination of the obstacles in a different order with each of them being slightly different. I think what battle.net needs is a completely new type of game. Something that doesn't have anything to do with:

Bounds
RPGs
The Normal Game
Any type of massing game
Defense games
Movies
ect...

Obviously if I knew about a new game type I would post it, but I don't.

Ironicially after the above, I do like bounds.

Of course theyre fun.. But you play one like 5 times and forget about it to go try to find a different one because it just got boring. Either that or it just plain sucks..

[COLOR=33DD33]I know what you mean killerme, but there still are some bounds that have new ideas in them. Like the recent "Gat Bound" had the glowing zergling as the wireframe. Though most are old, boring, and repeat other bounds some are different and a lot better.[/COLOR]
