I meant play non-BGH maps

oh.... there are other maps?!

[copulatingduck]

wut BGH?

[Versus]

big game hunters. there's a fucking shitload of resources at all starting bases, so no one needs to expand or anything...which means everyone can focus on spamming units. and it's a really small map for 8 players.

[copulatingduck]

sounds laym.

[CaffeinePowered]

sounds laym.

Its what everyone plays, 3v3 BGH, no rush 5 min

Sort of like no items fox only final destination

So... you're not allowed to engage each other for 5 minutes?

Exactly. This leads to people have nice armies before they can attack each other.

Thing is, Starcraft is a RTS: Real Time STRATEGY, and if noone can attack in the first 5 minutes, there is not as much strategy anymore.
Part of the fun in the game is having to manage ressources, which is why "big games" are not as fun. In normal maps, people build other bases when there are not enough ressources in one spot, and having to defend the 2 bases makes the game quite more interesting, so is attacking other people's extra bases.

High resource maps GENERALLY require more skill than reg maps. It's more about map control/memorization than it is focusing on unit strats with low resource. It's balanced out sometimes, but usually people are idiots when it comes to map creation for low/mid resource maps. Personally though I've never liked the people who whine about no attacks first 5 minutes on high resource maps. Anyone can outdo a simple rush if they're not retarded and keep right on building.

Maybe some time, bnet likes to give me those retarded connection errors constantly, even when I'm playing with someone literally less than 5 miles from me. Also I haven't played in quite a while, so I'm rusty. Also I don't like no rush rules, they hamper the efficiency of early game strats and limit each race to like 1-2 basic strats that can be used effectively because you've seen what your opponent is up to.

Also wiping out a couple people with an early zerg/pillbox rush is nice.

[ToiletDuck]

we don't play with any rules

[NiceGuy]

we don't play with any rules

All though the epic scv/drones/probes only battle on BGH was epic

Except someone had to be a dick and make mutas. You know who you are.  >

Oh well shit, I read 5 min no rush and was sad. I'll definitely be there some time.

[Versus]

except when niceguy ling rushed like 2 or 3 times in a row and we didn't think he would keep doing it.

I've been wanting to maybe get back into Starcraft or get some Warcraft 3 going (god I <3 Warcraft 3).  If anyone is up for either tonight I'd love to get in on it.

Any takers?
