That's my job bro... I'm hoping that I can help all of you open your eyes to the world of level design and see it from a designers stand point and not just as a player. There is a lot behind the scenes that goes on into building a map. Keep these close and read them often.

I have been excited for Forge 2 since I saw the trailer. I found it difficult to create maps that looked anything like the image in my head in Halo 3 but being able to suspend objects in mid air means some of my more bizarre imaginings will take shape. The lessons are great and have served to get me into a creating frenzy though campaign has to come first.
Thanks very much
Well I hope these get you off to a very good start my friend. The world of level design is a wonderful place. Enjoy...
Here's lesson 18 folks... off to go do 19. Enjoy ;). Link and synopsis as per usual:
Lesson 18: Patience
* Never rush your map, it will delude it's quality and reduce your credibility as a designer
* Don't lie to yourself or your friends; everyone is guilty of not taking enough time to improve their map... including me
* Even if you are close to done or your map is already published, take the time to improve and make changes to your map to improve your skills as a designer
