When sc2 got released i was laddering a lot, but i am no rts player and moving out of platinum would require so much practice that i decided to stop playing for a while... that was until i realized that there are already a lot of fun custom maps.
I will introduce the two maps i enjoyed the most so far and would like to get some recommendations from you

THE Card Game


THE Card Game is 2-6 player team vs team map. You randomly draw cards (that can be discarded for a price), they can be cheap, expensive, rare, ... By clicking on them you spawn the unit it represents and the unit will then attack the enemy nexus and whatever units the enemy throws at it. The key to winning in countering the enemy forces with the correct cards/units while playing as a coordinated team. (i simplified the map, but this is to get the concept) It is really addictive and played a lot atm because its a featured map. if you have previously played the map, you might wanna check it again cause it got quite a few updates.

Defend the Moon
Classic TD, inspired by Element TD from wc3. You can play it for your own, or as a team (but still every player is on his own) or you can play in versus mode where you spawn creeps to attack your opponents. its already quite balanced and the upgrade and building variety still make it really interesting. nothing special, but still fun and the best TD i have found so far.

So post about custom maps you enjoy, would like to try out some different maps. Couldnt find Partycraft (sc2 version of Uther Party) on the European servers, is it any good? I am especially interested in good TDs and Maps that we havent seen already in wc3.

also waiting for this third person shooter map to be released - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqiulSLFncc
