"I like knowing the space between my ears is immeasurable."

just wondering if I can get an opinion on my first fan made map.

It's in my file share, the only map variant.

It's my first one so I'm just wondering if I should stop and gtfo out of it or keep at it.

idk.

it's a rough draft on the coliseum of forge world.

it's not fancy. I have weapon spawns, some of them and I think I fixed the random out in the middle of nowhere spawns.

it's a small map I guess... if I had to classify it as being done... it's small.

Has rockets and snipe on it.
A few AA's all pick ups since you don't spawn with any.

A sword, some shotty's and grenade launchers.

Few Dmr spawns.

idk... hard to explain I guess. but I think of it as small to medium maybe.

I haven't gotten to CTF or bomb/assault editing yet.

just a basis.

sorry about that, I just uploaded it.
It hasn't registered yet I guess.
I checked and it's there for me.

called halo for real btw.. cause I suck at name calling.

Anyway like I said, first map ever made and I made it myself so go easy on me.

Sure I'll DL it, what kind of map is it though?

4v4 Slayer? BTB? FFA? Big medium small? what power weapons are there? Where was it built?

That's fine, everyone starts somewhere.

I love forging, it's a creative outlet for stuffs.
I don't mean to advertise, and I'm not going to say "but" like a douche by using an exclusive clause - I'll show you what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocSWbR_-I54 (A short-ish video of a timelapse of a map I made one day)

Okay, it's in my active transfers now. I'll check it out as soon as it finishes downloading :)

Alright well looking at the map, I can see that it's attempting to be a symmetrical map - But a lot of it doesn't fit considering that there are multiple things such as the non-symmetric buildings, the spawns... Oh god they do need work. And you need to learn how to use killzones to keep players within the map because I found several HLG spots just from running around in Forge. Also, certain platforms are out of alignment, and ramps don't have easy access as I often had to jump over them to climb up on the outside part of the map.

Apart from that, it's a decent first try. Play the map with your friends, ask them to tell you what they liked the most, and what bits they hated the most. Critique from friends certainly helped with several of my own maps.

well it's not finished yet.
It is almost at the limit so I wanna use up whatever I have left to hopefully make it a bit better.

When I'm doing anything final on it I'll add killzones, maybe >.> :p


We should forge together! :)
