Does anyone else think that the maps on Bnet are very horrible? i am sick of goig to UMS and seeing maps like DONT LOOK AT THE DOT! and gay mass attack games that dont even have the unit names changed. i know that with the release of Starforge will come new mapmaking potential, but dont u guys hate it when u see some newb who has use SCXE to no real benefit? i lok for quality in my maps, but some people just spend 5 minutes on a map and they are done, i honestly dont know how those things became popular on bnet.

You can blame Bound maps and Cat & Mice for that, whatever happened to RPGS?

I think they're getting to be crappy also. And they're getting sloppier. Lazier. Why do people make completely unfinished maps, then put them on B.Net? Oh, uh, does anyone have the finished Demon Incubus?

I think that expectations have gone up and the quality has not changed. The types of maps have changed if you like those types or not thats personal preferance

Bound and massing maps are to blame. i look for about half a hour befor i see a good map, about once every 4 weeks i see a unchanged copy of marine specail forces. most of the junk on bnet is made by noobs, doesnt have ANY names changed eather (forces, units, map name). And what ever happened to hard maps ? shure theres some but not that many left. Bounds, theres about one bound named after litteraly everything and theres a problem with that, there being made by people who most likely dont even know how to use staredit. there are some good maps out there (normandy, origenal special forces, unchanged version of the thing) but most of the games i wount even join.

i think that starforge will open the doors for good maps as well as bad ones, like the newbs who use scxe, and u see the used special edition to put spires close together for a wall. i just dont liek it. and it tells me how stupid soem people really are, people get a huge kick out of crashing sc and it is just stupid.

bound maps and mass attack games are to blame. RPG's seem to be fading out. When sf comes out, there will be some sweet maps, but more n00bs will download this program and make worse bounds. WTF bound? I mean that the hell are these things?

I don't think starforge will help production of RPGs at all. Think about it what in RPGs need starforge? very little.
I think you will see alot more defence maps and bounds with crazy "brag" stuff on the sides like stupid cloaked marines and burrowing lurkers. Very few people will use starforge in a productive manor. but thats just the way i feel

I used to love playing lurker defense maps but now they just suck. Most of the versions have like 200 lurks with unlimited upgrades and mineral mining. What fun is that?!?! When I started playing starcraft 2 years ago maps took time and were hard, now they are so easy. Also RPG's are fading, I Think because ppl are so lazy now, they just want maps that can be beaten in 5 minutes. Also, like 90% of bounds out there are made my newbs and suck. I cant wait till starforge gets avilable. I am working on a good bound myself now so look for it on b.net soon. ;)

i would have to agree.....maps like "float a drone!!!" and manyu many others are flooding bnet(for this reason i create most ums games i play)

im curretnly making an uber rpg, because there are so few good rpgs out there(so few rpgs at all)

never played a bound map, and i never will. ever.

I personally think that most the good mapmakers have stopped making maps. even maps that are very popular have traits, such as balancing issues, that really say that the mapmakers are pretty poor at what they do. also, almost all maps are un-original, such as lurker D and bounds. most people who have cool ideas are new and cant do them. also, a ton of maps would take too long to do.. if you look at the average map out there there are not that many triggers, because if there were the maps would never be completed..

besides the fact that most of his maps are unbeatable, i think Panzer_Kavalier makes the best, well thought out maps on bnet.

Panzer_Kavalier maps are gay, they are flooded with secrets (he thought) for his use only. You cant even play one of theese maps if youre opponent knows a single secret. They just ruin things.

I think that the original maps were the best, now there are too many ppl who open maps, change 1 thing and give themselves credit. It's pretty pathetic. I think that if you can't make an original yourself, then don't make any maps.

Me, I'd have to say that Cream[K] has a way of making maps... Just this awesome quality of making them. They are perfect I think and well balanced, and the best thing about it is that the two maps I've seen him make are... BOUND MAPS!!!:D Lucky, lucky me I love bound maps, although about 95% of them really, REALLY suck...
