Subject: How small is too small?

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

In an effort to get away from the Forge World aesthetic, I've been isolating structures on other maps and setting them up for small FFA or 2v2 games. So far I've seen a decent amount of success. Just The Tip is already +800 downloads. Haven't seen as many on Stockyard despite the (IMO) better aesthetic, but I attribute that to the bland name. Suggestions are welcome for that.

My real issues are the structures on Breakneck. I've walled off three buildings; Hardwood, The Gallery, and Monolith. (The names are just placeholders at this point)
I'm having trouble deciding if these are actually big enough to use for anything beyond 1v1s. "The Gallery" seems to have some promise, but the other two I really don't know about. I'll see about getting some screenshots up soon, but it's kind of hard to effectively capture the amount of space available.

So should I bother completing them, or scrap them as being too tiny?

OT: Pics. Nobody here can tell if the maps are too small. I doubt many will actually go ingame to see.

Yeah, I know. I should have taken some last night, but I didn't think about it. I'll get some up soon.

Do not play halo much anymore. Barely ever come on here.

I downloaded Monolith awhile ago and just now looked at it, and in my opinion it is WAY to small to have any kind of gameplay, even a 1v1.

That's the feeling I was getting. It's a shame, because it's a pretty structure. Did you get a chance to look at the others?

No I did not, but I flew around, and it looks like if you take the building the attackers spawn at, and wall that off and box in the outside walkway, it might be a fun 1v1 level.

Not sure what you mean - I haven't actually played Breakneck in MM yet so that might be a factor. Sounds like you're talking about the building I labeled "The Gallery". I was hoping it could support 2v2 and 4 player FFA, but I guess that's the bias I'm looking to circumvent by asking opinions on here.

Yeah idk the name of the buidling, the one that has the lift attached to it? I will download the Gallery and check it out. Okay, so i Looked at The Gallery, and it might work, would need to test it out. But I was talking about the buidling on the other side of the bridge, the one that has the lift which leads to "the gallery".

Oh, that one. I was looking at that - working out how to section it off - and I was having a hell of a time at it. Looks like it will make a sweet map, but it's so one-dimensional, I think it'll take quite a bit of scenery and added structure to make it happen..

It seems that you're mad.

Understandable.

I would be mad too if I couldn't understand half of the words the other person was saying.

When you look down and see nothing, you've got it too small.

lol dick jokes...

OT: I like smaller maps, the are more chaotic when played on.
Using a 'coliseum wall' as the base floor is a good size for a small map, and making corridors (i.e. Countdown) is good for small maps as well.
Or you could just make it wide open and bullets would be flying at all times. Either or. :)
