Do you miss old school kind maps?

[HammerFist132]

You know I am opening this thread to see does people miss "old warcraft".
In this days all maps have extra good terrain, 100000 imported stuffs, super complex spells, but sometimes (much often in last time) I miss old warcraft3 maps, like greenTD, predators, pudge wars, old angel arena. So am I only one who in this dying days of warcraft miss it's beggining? I really do.
Second reason why I opened this thread is to see, if people miss old, classic maps, to I start creating simple wc3 maps, td, arenas, mini games, everything that is simple and that you miss.
So please share your thinking.

Simpler maps have always been my favourites.

I haven't enjoyed Battleships since the "Advanced" version, which was some time around 2006. New shippies is just thousands of custom models and icons with bad grammar.

Green TD was terrible, though.

 

[gorillabull]

i think the game just gets old

 

[HammerFist132]

It looks like we all miss old maps .

About green td, I know it wasnt perfect, but me and my friend could always relay while playing it.

I had lots of fun playing Hero Line Wars on Bnet.

I miss this DBZ game I played about 5 years ago, and I cannot remember what is was, and I wish I could find out. Also old maps were good, since I didn't care about terrain, they all had secrets to them which were fun to find (Heaven vs Hell)

Haha, I just checked out my Warcraft 3 maps and I have maps all the way to 2003. Totally I got 2gb!

Footman wars was the last true footman game in my opinion. When footman frenzy came, then the balance just got utterly destroyed and it was no longer fun.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

But isn't Footmen Frenzy 4.2 -AR the best?

...no.

They took a bite too big, this is what ruined it.
Footman Wars was balanced when I last played it, but ever since I heard of Footman Frenzy all I see is madness. It's no longer fun, as everything is just OP.

 

[HammerFist132]

yeah I forgot about that map, and it was really nice to play. Really really. Me and my friend, we hide half army challenge them with small part, when they attack we relised entire, and so on. Really good map to play.

I think that simple maps is better than advanced ones. However some things in the old maps were boring for example the tavern hero selection.

Something in the middle is the thing I like the most.

Well said.

In my opinion I think we rather the old maps, is just because we had never seen these things before, whereas now if you see something your just like yeah I've seen better, or yeah I have seen that somewhere else before. It is becoming harder for people to create new maps with different things in them, since we have found out so much with the engine. The only reason we still rather the old maps now is mainly due to nostalgia

 

[Chaosy]

Kind of true. But I think that the new rpgs for example is way too advanced to make it enjoyable. I dont think its only that we are used to it but it could be a contributing factor

JASS doesn't make a map good. vJASS doesn't make a campaign good. No language mod does.
Fancy systems don't make a map good either.

When people get too much power in designing stuff they tend to forget, that it's always the gameplay that matters the most. This is the part that has not been changed much. Creeps are still stupid, bosses are still mostly based on higher stats, not on superior AI.

Yes I agree with this. Even some "pro mapers" with download over 10000 have their boring even if they done 1000000 sistems. And of the thing I hate the most is when I find map/campaing too hard even if I am giving my best.
Thats why my favourite campaing, is Ressurection of the Scource, I really enjoy it.

I miss making maps where you have teams fighting each other with units and has bases. Simple.

I make those maps but its hard to make it look really good. Anyone else agree?

Old school maps in my opinion are less complicated which is better for me to play and make most of the time.

Good example of this is Seth's Reign.... it's amazing terrain, and has lots of unique systems, but I get bored cause it's a kite game, and there aren't a lot of spells to choose from

ninja vs samurai pro

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/charging-undead-235538/ this map was done, because I see you miss this maps. Be sure to try it

• High School Loap
• Resident Evil Outbreak
• Some sort of Archers VS Undead map that used this model and it was like aim wars with youre only skill being A that shoot a straight missile and freezed enemy it hit and your allies had to hit you to thaw you, so epic map
• Perfect World RPG (this was actually one of my maps that was a bit famous on b.net due to the fact that I was using TFT features in a ROC map and everyone was suprised lol

ahhh I miss these maps and the good old days of b.net (2008) =/


EDIT:
but newest maps ofc are better! examples:
Blades 'n Gore II
Cruiser Command
Diablo III PvP Arena
Jetpack

and there are sure a lot more epic maps to come!

I have been playing wc3 for 7 years and only came upon custom maps like 2010, but still I remember good old maps that I downloaded like 2004's candy war, me and my bro used to play it all day.

 

[xorkatoss]

omg I just remembered the most epic ROC WC3 map I've ever played on b.net

Comic Book Heroes

Hey people can you remind me on any good maps that can be played in single player. You know with ai or some orpg, map doesnt have to be soo good, just to have interesting gameplay (excample are you lucker). Thank you
