Well, it's been like 2 weeks that you are featuring a blizzard-made map... time to move on? =D

I'd like to suggest an extremely unknown map: Impossible Probe. Games can easily last over an hour... heck, people are saying some could last so long StarCraft was actually forcing them to leave (it looks like there's a 9 hours of gameplay maximum... why is this even applied to Custom Maps?).

Here's the map's thread. ^_^'

@payne: Forgot to say that the popularity system might want to give bonus popularity to a map every hour of play? Else, maps like mine are severely disadvantaged. =(

Goddamnit Blizzard, Debates has a massive dedicated following, no one liked Level Up Bound and everyone already knew about Desert Strike. Debates is an incredibly fun map that isnt played by many because of a strong negative connotation surrounding intellectualism. I have to admit, people either love debates or they hate it, but there are many more that love it that I know. Debates is a brilliant and creative game that has been mentioned in this comments section so many times, you have obviously seen it before. Is it that it isnt reflective enough of starcraft gameplay? That Blizzard didnt like it? Well my god choose debates simply because the users love a good fun game, and isnt that what custom games and map featuring about? DEBATES BY RODRIGO. Do it now or my faith in any sort of Blizzard fan-based community will be shattered.

Debates by Rodrigo is one of the most creative and social games that I have ever seen. It is unfortunate that it is so low on the popularity list. It would be fantastic to see it on the top of the list.

Battlegrounds- Zero-. I made this, but people told me to suggest it here. It's a quick risk type game with it's own new feel. Alot of people really like it. Hopefully it gets featured!

I think blizzard should feature social games like Life of a Peasant. This new system does not give a chance to social games. There's no social game that can become popular, and social games are a important part of custom maps. We cannot let social games die. Battle.net would be dumb without them.

Man, I really used to love Slide Ninja Slide from Warcraft 3. I'd definitely play a SC2 remake of that.

@lilgrizzly: You need to look for the Starcraft 2 file and around there you will see a swirly green icon with a wrench type figure in the center named Starcraft 2 editor, there it is!

I want to see a remake of the SC1 custom game where you started out as a Marine or a Zealot or whatever and for every so many kills your character got upgraded... I think it wen't Maine 5 kills without dying you become a Firebat, 5 more kills you become a Vulture 5 more kills you become a goliath, etc... I want to see that game again!

Does anyone know how to remake HGMA? That was one of my favorite games in the original Starcraft.
