I have realized that no one has ever made an old fashioned map, like the ones blizzard makes in the campaign. People now make new maps and things that blizzard wouldn't have dreamed of being on bnet, such as bounds and rps. I never see blizzard maps in the first place. 
Don't get me wrong its not because the maps are too simple, they are just as hard as new maps.
What do you guys think about it?

lol, no i'm just really bored with our current maps. The missions are so and so, I remember on sc original when I couldn't get past the survive 30 min thing. Yep good times.

Yeah you are right those were the days.... but Starcraft has evolved so much that those types of maps would be considered "ancient" among the Starcraft populous... A few people like you and me would like them to make a come back, but face the facts, that style is just too old....

That 30 minutes is probably the 'father' of all defense maps in SC, people got the idea from that...
Btw there's a couple old maps that's really good, although they're long gone and I can't find it for 5 years straight.
1. Baulders Gate--an RPG, and the coolest ever. You run around towards a goal and try to fight the evil. You don't do infinate upgrades and kill like a god, instead, it's all micro. You have to run away when you're dying and such. Also there's a really cool reward system they've used. When you complete a mission you get a cetrain upgrade, like marine range upgrade--automatically without yourself clicking 'Upgard U258 Shells' which sounds stupid in an RPG. Very cool and complicated map, easy to understand even for a n00b.
2. Forgotton Realms--another PRG, and with a very great idea. Original idea from Zelda-the four swords where heros travel between different worlds and fight evil. A lot of puzzles are to be solved, and it's a really hard RPG. You have to remember the locations to the precise dot before you can enter the other world. So far I have only entered the third world and I never have been able to find the map back...

I remember seeing this 5 year old map called "Elements RPG". The map didn't even use colors, or any special effects. Every bit of it was made from Staredit! I think it was even made before brood war.

Some old classic style maps would be fun, for a change of pace.
By the way, SC-X/\/\asta, please stop messing with your text like that. It's a lot more of a pain to read. Bright blue + condensed text = ARG!!!

Actually, I wouldnt mind seeing 'old-fashioned maps' (read: maps made with the original staredit with no extra tweaks). Itll be a nice refreshing change from what we have currently.

I made most of my maps out of StarEdit and I only use StarForge for colours/stacking.

Heh, pickle, the Elements RPG was the best, and still one of my favorites, you choose from fire, water, wind, etc, and you evolve from time to time. There was like 5 levels for each element.

There should be a contest where you make the best map usign just regular staredit. That would be challending. (no colors or xtra units and very limited aiscipts)

Hm, ya.
I've tried playing some old scenario blizzard maps on B.Net, but they were annoying.
Except for Team Fortress, though I got ownzored by the better coordinated enemy team.
In fact, when I was planning on making Defenders of the Galaxy 2, I was planning on using just Staredit, to help keep it in that cozy old-fashioned style.

No, I'm pretty sure ESS came out before X-tra, so that changed it all. I could be wrong.

Okay here is the game play:
You have buildings in the top corner for building units.
When you build a unit it goes to the bunker owned by orange
You have to defend the bunker for 30 minutes so that it wont die
If the bunker dies you lose
Aliens will continuosly come after 10000 millisecond intervals and try to kill you and the bunker
There are 4 heros
When you accumulate 5 gas the you lose five gas for ten minerals
The units cost between 3 min-20 minerals and die easily (so you cant mass units)
after 30 minutes you win
There are several different lvl (like after 3 minutes ultralisks come ans so on)
Heres the screenshots holler if you want more
pic of the buildings in the corner (note I didnt use many doodads)
Screenshot 1
Pic of the main Battle area
Screenshot 2
P.S. Told you I made the map.
