I am making a map that is like the sniper maps out there - but with a lot of diferenaces. All of the sniper maps I have seen feature only one unit that you can use to attack - and it's a ghost. In this map I will be using ghosts (obivisly), but I will be using other units that have energy (such as the corsair). Not only do I need people to help test this. If you want to help test my map, you have to meet the following¥:
└ This is one of the first maps I will be releasing to the public. Thus, I don't want my map making reputation destroyed even before I can make one.
I also want to know if you males/female(s?) think this should involve playing capture the flag. Furthermore, I want to know what spell casting units should be in the game, and what spells they will have. (No, I won't have hallucation spells because I know what DK will do with it.)
¥ If you help test my map, you will get the option of being one of the following units (since they will be used the most often). The units I have so far:
If you want your name to be in my map, please say what unit you want to be and why. These units must be units that won't crash SC, and can be placed using SC xtra. People that help test my map will get first choice of what unit they want. Other than that, it's pretty much first come, first serve.†
†Or, you could bid on the unit using minerals. Whoever gets the highest bid gets the unit. Please don't send me the minerals until I say so.
Sorry, I forgot to say. The defiler will be for force 1 (player 1-3), and the corsair is owned by force 2 (player 4-6). The human players are player 1-6. I am using tux's firing system for the disruption web and the dark swarm.

This sounds like it would be one of the better maps out there...
I would be glad to test it
Capture the flag should only be in the map if it is HARD.
Example: Halo 2 = Easy
Example: RainbowSix3 = Hard
Spell casters:
Dont really understand
My favorite unit is a marine but out of what you chose
i would have to say the Science Vessel
Hope I can be A Tester

Hey, SA!
I would love to test/help on the map!
I'm not to sure about my reputation, but I am on the SMT so that works for me not releasing the map to the public!
As for the CTF goes... I made one but I messed it up... I love CTF though.\
If I were to be a tester I would want to be a defiler moving up and down really fast!
Thanks,

It really depends on when I need to be on everyday, and how long I will need to be on. Also I need to know when it will start the beta testing where I will need to be on everyday.

Well, shoot, I was making a snipers map with multiple units (among other new advances in mapping.) I thought that I would have been the first, but now I see this.
Anyways I would like to test this map of yours. I meet all the requirements, I think. (I'm not quite sure what my reputation would be)

Congrats, odd, you most likely the only person that spesified what unit they would like to be. 
It's that that hard... It's just as hard as a map that revelade made. It featured tux's spell casting system. As for CTF, well, it's going to be just as hard as any of the CTF games in a sniper map.
1., My name is Max. Not SA_. SA_ is the clan I am in.
2., if you have gotten into the SMT, then your reputation must of been good enough.
Well, I only need one other person to help me test it. I would prefer, however, to get a 3vs3 game to happen. I am quite flexable with my schedule, so...
Hmmm, I guess I will let you help test my map with me. I would prefer to see a map that you made before you are a tester, but it doesn't matter that much. I estimate I will have it done in 12 hours (10 hours for sleeping, 2 hours for mapping).

We don't want to tell you what unit we want to be because it would sound greedy. As though we wanted to test your map just for the sake of being in the testers list.
I will be able to help if you give me the time and date beforehand

Sorry, but this needs to be said- a snipers map is a map with ghosts and solely ghosts (except for the rediculously old ones that I am sure no one here besides me has played). There can be no other kind of snipers. The maps that you are making are arena/click or CTF maps if you choose to make them such. Often refered to as Paintball-- for example, v-tec or mario paintball. There are just so many things to snipers that you guys don't understand as to the micro required for a ghost to kill.

FaZ- is right. Starcraft "snipers" don't want any variation in their maps, and since they're the ones that actually do play snipers, the map will get no use what-so-ever.
Ghosts must be used.
ADDED: And the whole popularity thing just ain't right. I'm sure there's pleanty of mapmakers out there and on this site who are pleanty qualified but aren't "popular" enough for your tastes.

Oh no you misunderstood me. I'm not saying that I won't play these type of maps just because they are not sniper maps. I just find that calling them that is foolish because they are not sniper maps and will not be. If a good arena/click or paintball map is made, I would love to play it. My first favorite map was Quake Team Fortress.
