    Will these maps be just as easy to make as the original and brood war maps are?

    I'd imagine it would be about the same, if not some more easy spots in there, with a lot more customization abilities.

    Probably still easy to learn but maybe a little more complex when it comes to triggers and unit abilities.

    Right. Getting the basics down for just making a normal map will not be too hard I imagine. Making some kick ass UMS, though, will be where the tricks are. Lets hope we don't need to 'glitch' the program to let us do certain things "Example: Stacking, longer ramps, etc"

    I prefer fastest. Only problem is that effective strategies are extremely limited; basically comes down to mass ranged units.

    At the same time, I'm terrible at regular maps because I have trouble controlling different types of units at the same time(lurkers+hydras+lings)

    I'm just hoping that all our great U.M.S. don't go unused. I mean the StarCraft fans were nice enough to provide blizzard with maps, and now they make a game that you can't make maps on?
    If so I'm gonna be so pissed.

    I just hope that I will get some great inspiring idea and create the most popular map on SC2!

    When SC2 comes out, lets all collect together and make one kick ass epic map (you can now link maps together on b.net)

    @LJYLJ - I somewhat think that there will be people able to see beyond that ;)

    Personally, I'd probably loose myself in the possibilities and end up with nothing.

    I'm sure it will be easy to use for the basic map while still having the more advanced funtionality for those who want it. Put it this way, currently most SC mappers use a third party programs - I doubt they'll have to for SC2.
