Blizzard Releases First Official Custom Map For StarCraft II
There are plenty of crazy custom maps floating around for bored StarCraft II players to test out, but today marks the release of the first made by Blizzard.
Titled "Burning Tide," this map is basically a multiplayer version of the much-discussed single-player mission that has you gathering resources as quickly as possible on a dangerous lava planet. Winning the map requires hitting a certain number of resources gathered rather than actually attacking opponents. Players will need to strategically decide how to invest their resources, since every new unit purchased takes you one step further from your goal.
Check out Blizzard's news post for all of the info on this new map. It's available to play in StarCraft II in the custom games tab now.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
