Who cares about the # of people in the map? Honestly. Its based on a game called "Left 4 Dead", that is the only reason I am using a name similar to it, so people KNOW, that if they PLAY the map, it will be like Left 4 Dead.
Its pretty simple.
PS: when are you going to b uy the game colt?
The number of people matters because that's the entire basis for the name, hurr. That makes it worse, you're trying to make a play on a name without even knowing what the name stands for. Left 4 Dead was a funny play on words because they were left for dead, and it was 4 people. Left 2 Die does the same thing, two people left to die at the hands of the zerg.
Your map takes the name, and kills all the originality in it. Your map is not a play on words, it's just a bunch of people fighting zombies, there's no reason to have a name that plays on words when it doesn't describe your map. Name's are suppose to represent the item that carries them. What's the point of giving a map a name that has NOTHING to do with what the map is about?
It's a moot point anyways, Blizzard already shot you down for trying to take their name, and they did so with class.

I would've at least be a little nicer to blizzard. They made someone take time out of their day to send you a formal apologetic letter saying their sorry, but we need that name. Maybe if you had a nicer attitude they would reward you now or latter with something you might of not even thought of. Next time you have a problem blizzard will be the last person to help you. You could've had some kind of black mail or guilting them into helping you or at least cutting you some slack if another situation comes between yourself and blizzard.
What do you mean by mouse-look to attack though? I'd love to just use
WASD and mouse to fire but we all know how shitty WASD is. UI
improvements in the works. I'm going to step my game up.
See the BlizzCon recording with the Immortal. That's what I mean. But I guess both WASD & Mouse rework aren't quite far enough yet. And you're really not cut out for being an evil mastermind turning an annoying mail into a glorious victory by getting them to feature you on US & EU alike. I gotta make a Blizzard DotA Map with no content, just for the mail *lol*
Hope you can garner some good publicity for your map Mephs, the Blizzard guys are turds for wasting time on maps rather than fixing the editor's flaws.
Also, people need to learn to read the thread before posting their ill-conceived "complaints" on the OP.
Mephs is right in his act, this is where we can see how Activision/Blizzard react, they got all rights and they do what they want. They want to remove your map because they do estimate the name is their, yeah com'on, just do it.
You can see their evilness, control over everything, and over you. If they had some creativity, they would at change their name constating they sucked at reserving the map name and choose an other, and not forcing map makers to bend to their will. Other companies like VALVe tries to work with the community, Activision/Blizzard sucks your money.

it does not matter if you changed the name before or after blizzcon. with using their editor you agreed their license agreement. now you can rant about the absurdity of such conditions, how it is not fair and just how cruel blizzard/activision is. still you accepted the terms to begin with.
The people working on those maps are not on the battle net team. These are artists and level designers.
then they should be working on that fucking editor wiki that was suppose to come out with the release, instead of making gay archons, aiur chef and another fucking bejeweled.
If I wanted to play bejeweled I'd play it on a 2002 flash games website.
the guys telling him that he has "a case" here, apparantly do not now that. so i pointed it out for them. i am such a kind person. now.. where was the information in your recent post again?

Would you rather have free 'open-source' content and new editor features or repeated documentation that we already have on SC2 mapster?
AND AGREE THAT YOU WILL EXECUTE FUTURE ASSIGNMENTS PROMPTLY UPON RECEIVING SUCH A REQUEST FROM BLIZZARD.
I know that lawyers like to make legal jargon as vague as possible to give them clause to twist it how they like, but what the hell is that supposed to mean?
it says: if blizzard tells you to update your map you have to update your map (or how unclear this is written.. do an entirely new thing if they tell you to). its a really funny clause and one of the best examples of new age fubar policies..
well at least they cannot order you to jump from a bridge cause the terms are specific to the map editor :-)

Let's call it "High 5 to Death !" then

Why not? Hell of a lot better name then "Left 2 Die" since atleast that name describes the map.
Play nice with each other or I'll have to play Whack-A-Mole with you. Last warning folks.

Bye.
No really, when you have an acct and can actually play it go ahead and keep rambling.
I don't need to play it to know it has more then 2 players. But sure, keep pulling that card, I'm sure it gives you great comfort.
P.S. I do have an account :|
P.S.S. And I can play it :||||||||||

this guy trolling right
I don't think they even really read what I said. I never complained about this being unjust and unfair. I thought it was funny.
I know that lawyers like to make legal jargon as vague as possible to give them clause to twist it how they like, but what the hell is that supposed to mean?
Hi my name is Mephs and i think people give a shit what happens to my map.
Also i love men..
Love,
