The map is scheduled to be removed from the ladder during next week’s maintenance period. We will be cooperating with the map creator in an effort resolve the performance issues, and we hope to see Metropolis LE return to the ladder in a future season.

For those who still wish to play games on this map, it will continue to remain available via the custom game interface.

Oh thank god!!

[mGGDrGooSe]

Aww, I actually had some decent games on that map, and never noticed any kind of performance issues

[Asrathiel]

Why, what's up with it? I haven't been laddering

[TheGentleman]

I like that map :'(

[Loach]

all the extra flashy lights and everything, all the filters they used making it nice.. it lags the crap out of computers - even with lower graphics

Quick Comments

Asrathiel:

Ah, right. Pretty lights are pretty.... :p

[ROOTPetraeus]

Haven't had problems myself, but have heard many others have. Seems like a good decision.

[SanG]

[jtxgaming]

hmm havent played enough games on it for a proper decision but ok.

[Ruski]

Don't know how to feel about this, on one hand I haven't played many games on this map (like a max of 3 or 4) and haven't had any problems with it. On the other hand if it is being very detrimental to other people's play due to lag inducing graphics then they should remove it til they fix it.

[Stallion]

awwwww that was my favourite map T_T

[Maynarde]

Doesn't matter if it's gone, cause it'll be back!

[[TA]LoSt]

Yeah I personally haven't experienced any issues but those that don't have sick computers are saying that it literally lags when they try to play it.

Good choice by blizzard, it'll be back.

[PiG]

Hmmm... Interesting.

Thats a Spartaz comment - Standard

[Jaywalk]

i wasnt a fan. good riddance.

[Snx.Mufasa]

hope its just a technical problem with the map and that we'll see it come back... thought it was pretty decent in terms of gameplay... better then most maps.

[Fenner]

Yea its just a technical problem with the map, they made it too pretty. Was unplayable for me, got like 40 FPS and dropped even lower in battles whilst other maps are fine.

[iRLpuku]

OMG YES. I HAD 10 FPS WHILE PLAYING ON THAT MAP! causing me to lose so many late game battles.. cant defend mutas with that lag.

[x5_Potter]

Too many rocks.

[crAzerk]

I thought the problem was close spawns or something :S

[mGGMueX]

Don't worry, it will be back as soon as they can fix it. Hopefully they don't permanently change the graphics but rather fix the low-settings graphics. It looks cool and there's no lag on my machine for it so I see no need to "nerf" the effects.

[cruxis]

Terran lost more then 1 game out of 10 on it, so it had to be balanced so Terran can keep winning 9/10 times on any map.
