I've been playing them again recently, and I was slightly amazed at how good they still are.

If you still play Starcraft, what kind of maps do you like?
RPG-like maps? ("Legends" springs to mind)
Melee? (BGH is a common one)
Or something else entirely?


If you play Total Annihilation, can you tell me how to get the thing working online?
I keep trying to play that with a friend of mine, but for some reason it won't work over the 'net for us.

Well not so much recently but a few months ago I played Starcraft, I always liked RPG maps, both for that and Warcraft 3. I also sometime play maps like cat n mouse or tower defense-ish ones.

Cat n mouse? I've never seen a map like that for Starcraft or Warcraft before. Got a link to an example?

I dont play Starcraft as much as I did a few months ago. When I did play, I played Lost Temple. I dont mind hunters all that much but I prefer temple. None of this money map stuff.

I haven't played in awhile but I may start again soon, cat and mouse is where there are 2 ultralisks(cats) and everyone else plays a drone. The drones have to build up and kill the cats and the cats have to find and kill the drones.

I always liked regular melee/FFA maps but I was also addicted to sniper for a long time. UMS are also very high in my liking.

Sounds like an interesting variant to try out some time.

In Sniper there 2 teams hot and cold, one starts at each end of the map and every person controls a ghost, the game is set up so you have to use the A key and lock the target to kill others when you see them. Once you get good at it, its really fun.

At the moment one of my friends kidnapped my starcraft game and Cd key, so I wont be playing anytime in the following week.

It works just fine, but I could never figure out how to play a game over the 'net with any of my friends; it wasn't quite as self-explanatory as Quake or Unreal, and I don't know of any online services like b.net for it, so....

I moved onto TA: Kingdoms, and then I now firmly rest on Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots.

I recentely swore that I would never play Star Craft again.

I still play Starcraft, less than before thought. I really like the Fast Money Maps (thought I Don't like people using the EXTRA CHEAP AND ANNOYING Firebat trick).

Sometimes I play Starcraft. I love 4 on 4 computer games. Those are really fun. That and Hero Arena, defence games, and other fun UMS maps.
