The only way currently is to trust someone and have him/her upload it for you. Blizzard did mention plans about merging regions or something of the likes but even if it happens it will probably be far from now.
Since the maximum space for maps and projects has been increased by blizzard, it shouldnt be too hard to find someone willing to host such a great map.. unfortunately, im EU too so there is no point in asking me.. nevertheless, it most probably is best to ask another author to host the map, not because of a trust issue, but because your map is being hosted to actually be played, thus an author who knows how popularity and uploading/updating maps works is simply the better choice.
Wooot! way to go Buzz! xD your map is awsome =P but have you gotten any ideas for updates yet? o.o i really wanna see if you can improve on the map while staying true to the movie xD
The bad thing is it seemed to get boring fast. I dont like shaking camera while you shoot (since you shoot all the time, it gets anoying). Another thing you could add, is multiple weapons, grenades, maybe something you can repair walls or build barricades between waves.
It could become good map, but needs lots of improvements. As it is now, there isnt much replay value.
Idk how the game play is, but in the movie a little destructible wouldn't be used. Afterall, if they can climb over a wall to get to you, why would a chair help any? =D
Can't wait til it's on U.S.
I can upload it if you want, Idc, I'll keep it up to date ( I'm rather active, look at how many posts I done since I joined). I'll delete it with warning if I ever need the map space tho (Ideally that wont be for a long time, so blizzard will have some kind of system for it to be uploaded by you). Atm I have 9/10 slots available.
Yeah I remember that too. I came a cross it when I was looking for potential custom models. The model itself looks really nice, but like other people already pointed out, I think the animations still need some work.
Ya, probably needs some work, but I've got some other suggestions after playing through it once yesterday by myself on normal:
1. Display number of waves left, or current wave/total waves
2. More upgrades other than just weapon/armor/speed/hp, add something like attack speed, or some kind of super weapon
3. Shorter game times, the longer your game lasts, the less it will be played, and therefore, won't reach the top of the popularity list
4. With shorter game times, you'd have to do some balancing, such as less but more powerful waves.
5. More bugs!!!
6. Votekick doesn't seem to be working, nor does -view 70
7. When someone leaves, give their credits to everyone else
8. Make normal harder, otherwise first time someone plays they will think it's boring if they can beat it
I've spent a lot of time trying to make Whiskey Outpost look exactly like it does in the movie, without creating any custom models.
Players can also play in Third Person shooter mode, fire their gun and throw grenades.

You can play it on the EU realm now. :)
I've added a download link now.
The map is currently in the top 20 most popular maps on the EU bnet realm, and it'd be nice to have it published in other regions beside the EU.
Feel free to do so, but please keep up with new version I post here. :)
Enjoy.
A number of people have asked if I would release this map for North America. I'd really like to, but I'm not sure what the best approach would be.
Is there another way beside having someone else publish it in your name?
Any ideas on this?

Well then, if anyone from the US or Asia is interested in publishing it in their region, please send me a PM.
Sent you a PM WallArcher, I would like to help out with your publishing issue. [US region]

Looks good dude :) I can totally see an infestor lifted off the ground slightly with lava crabs attached to its bottom being a brain bug! :D
I would suggest making the roaches bigger though, but that could take some of the skill out of hitting them away.

I tested the map and it looks really cool!

Very nice! I'm looking forward to trying this map out! ^_^ Once this is on the American servers I definably will give feedback.

Playing it right now, but I remembered this: http://forums.sc2mapster.com/development/artist-tavern/4893-starship-troopers-arachnid-model/ This would make it better I think
