I wanted to know what peoples faviorite map was, and also what map that promotes a different style of play is.
My Faviorite map at the moment is Gamae Gowen. I think it's because thats the first map I ever saw a replay with )ToT(Mondragon in it. I also love how the choke is set up.
As for maps that promote different styles of play. I like the way early game is played on Bifrost, and i also love Namja Igiya (sp?). I like how dangerous the first expo is, and its he first map i ever saw with the mineral patch of 8 to prevent terran from lifting Command to get an easy/early expo.
I always enjoy a good game on Nostalgia. Love those corner bases.

I like the New Ghettisburg Map.
Nostalgia, because that's the first game I ever saw OgOgO play in, and the first time I saw Nostalgia.
i dont have a favorite, ones that i play alot are,
Nostalgia, New GettysBerg, Dire Straights, Rivalry, Lost Temple, Blood Bath.
Now that i think of it, Blood Bath is a great map, its so fun for2v2, it makes for quick matches and is very fun to play.
I like every unfamiliar balanced melee map out there.
My faves are (excluding the ever-present LT):
Orbital Relay
New Gettysburg Spaceport
Platform Wars (that's one of mine, I don't know whether it's in the download section yet)
Islands of Doom (another of mine, it's quite bland.)
WTG map: Namja Iyagi
Blizzard map: (6)Azure Plains
my friend has 3 more maps to add,
Blood Bath(4)
Island Hop(5)
7 player map called jeweled river, he thinks or maybe river wars?
I have alway's been a fan of the temple, Melee map's, I think there the best, Melee map's, In my opinion.

whats namja iyagi? ive never heard of it, could you post it so i could dl it?
i don not have one faviorite map but some that i really like are..
(2)Emperor of Emperor
(2)Raid-Assault
(3)Another Day
..and my own maps.

i also just saw a great replay on enter the dragon and one on into the darkness(never played these maps tho)
namja iyagi (
http://promaps.deported.net/)
raid assault is pretty sexy, and it has the wide ramps

.
i bet this is the replay you saw on enter the darkness but if not enjoy, its nada(blue) vs Ggoma(sp?) in a tvt. lots of nukes, and a loooong game
Broodwar>Webmaps>(8)Labyrinth.scm
Its a challenging Comp vs Human map. And I like the team melee element in it, with all of the bases and everything.
my favorite map came from a along time ago and its called Snipers v316 bald locks

Hmm seeing as this is in the Melee Map Making section, I would guess that we are talking about favourit melee maps. Not UMS maps.
Any map that's:
- Really Fun
- Not Boring
- Well Made
- Not a N00BIE Map
- Not Rigged
That's an extremely long criteria which basically makes it so that you cannot play a single public game of StarCraft.
I prefer making my own map, and showing it to the "new generation" as I call it. Most of them leave as soon as they see that there's no stacked minerals.
could you at least name one map you like that isnt a noob map, rigged, its fun, and not boring?
q3dm17... err... I meant Nostalgia

isnt q3dm17 a quake 3 map? lol why did you say that
My favorite map by far is (6)Jungle Siege.scx. It's one of the only melee maps I'll actually play because of its good balance and speed for a non-money map; I also like the terrain. I believe it's 128x128, 6 players, Jungle tileset.
There are valleys in which your starting position is placed in surrounded by jungle. All 6 of the valleys are connected by a large plateau or mountain I guess you could call it. Anyways, I like it—Captain Geo got me stuck on it so I blame him.
