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.
