How to change map in StarCraft 2 custom game from 1v1 map

How to change map in StarCraft 2 custom game from 1v1 map - Person in Black Shirt and Black Pants Sitting on Brown and Blue Rug

I just got Wings of Liberty and I want to play some 4v4's with AIs so I'm not horrible against my friends when we play.

I'm trying to add a game in the custom games and it's just letting me do 1v1 but I can't seem to change the map so I can put in more players.

How do I change the map from Xel'Naga Caverns to something else?

  • How do I make a custom game in Starcraft 2?

    You can't make custom games online with maps downloaded outside of SC2. Search for the map on battle.net instead - Only maps on battle.net can be played online. I figured it out, in map editor you go to map, map options , and check the box to set it to melee custom map and then you can make a custom game with it.

    Where are SC2 custom maps stored?

    map files for sc2 are located at C:\\Program Data\\Blizz... etc. (something like that). Program Data folder is hidden. Once you get there, the maps are hashed and which map is which is not readily apparent.

    Does Starcraft 2 have a map editor?
