No there are not, any you see you must be imagining. I logged into Europe Battlenet 2.0 a few seconds ago and there is still only Chess Craft 0.1 and only blizzard maps.Their are tons of custom maps that arrant meele or chess....
Maybe you do not under stand us. It would be nice if WE COULD UPLOAD CUSTOM MAPS. Currently it provides errors apparently every time you try to publish a map which is why there is only Chess Craft 0.1 which must have eithor been submitted by blizzard or before they messed with the publishing server (a few minute window as the server came online).And I hate the way you say "upload some maps". It seems like you just wanna push out (to be blunt) whatever crap you created in an hour. Only quality maps should be played and everyone should push to make multiplayer maps only if other people would enjoy them. When a person makes a map they feel proud because its their creation. This doesn't carry over to the random person looking for quality entertainment, and so it isn't a good experience for them, and it (every so slightly) degrades the community.
So if you made a cool map and spent more then 5 days on it, then by all means share it. But if this was somthing you created within a short amount of time It probably is just somthing that only you would think is cool and is a waste of others time.
But you certainly dont have to listen to me, you can do what you want, and have fun doing it.
The real problem here isn't publishing, its their horrible popularity sort system.
-This system promotes people to release unfinished buggy maps. Why? Because if they don't, their map will start on page 15 rather than page 1, and will never be seen.
-It also emphasizes small games over big games (in terms of players and length). A 1v1 map that lasts 5 minutes vs a 7v7 map that lasts a full hour - the small map would be 84 times as popular by Bnet's system, considering that both have an equivalent number of players.
-Oh yes, heres the best part: new published maps are no longer displayed in the list. At all. Even if you scroll to the very very bottom, you won't see it. The only way to find these maps is by searching. Even worse: this is a beta in early stages. We probably have only seen about 25% (conservative estimate) of the maps that will be on Bnet six months in the future. This means that unless something changes, we will end up with 75% of the maps not even being shown. Even so, even if they are they will end up being a good 10-20 pages back, meaning that they will not get played, ever.QUOTE]
I agree, that popularity system seems flawed.
maybe your description has them? check just to be sureWtf? im getting this error
The Requested publish name has unacceptable words (StarCraft) [LOCALE]
my map name is The Day of Zerg, wth?
Blizzard locked the upload process until they get the servers working 100%. Tbh, that's the release day.Where are the custom maps... There is only like chess.
Why does the US have custom maps but the EU does not...
