Subject: getting better at forging...

fear me, for i am pro sauce

i have been making quite a few maps, all of them have either been symmetrical or mirrored, download a few to find out yourself.

when it comes to making none symmetrical maps, i fail hard, how do you make a good map (like uncaged<---opinion)?

should i write down any ideas i get, or draw it out before starting?

what would you recommend?

I've never been good at making maps. Some forge-art, yes, but not maps. The maps I do make, however, are all non-symmetrical.

I would say just let your imagination run free. If you think it fits then it fits.

Just don't make horrible maps like Uncaged but that's just my opinion.

Case in point. Map sucks.

then it isnt the map, its the people, i hate countdown because people sprint around with sword and shotgun, the map is okay, the weapons mixed with AA's ruin it

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

I'd look at some successful asymmetrical maps in Halo's past (Guardian, for example) and figure out why people liked it/what it did right.

If the map can be abused its not the players' fault

true but it is the players fault choosing to play like pansies when you get a shield, if you need to camp when you get a shield, just leave the game


can we get back on topic now?

If you think uncaged is a good map you'll never be a good forger. Real talk that map sucks and no competitive players will take you seriously

Just ask A3LG for help

guess not, i think uncaged is fine, much better than caged and one of my favorite maps

OP, explain why Uncaged is a good map. Not why you like it, but why fundementally, it is a good map.


im not going to lie, i generally dont go round analyzing maps while playing them, i just think it plays well, its easy getting from point to point an d there is substantial cover to use. sure, camping tower is a bit of a problem but they never stay there for long and the spawns really can suck at times but that happens on most map.

every map has its good points and bad points, dont make me look ignorant because i see more good points than bad on a map that i like.

You are ignorant. You've never played the map at high levels of play - or against anyone with a brain.

You're also biased. I do incredibly well on Red spawn Sword Base, but I don't go making up things I like about the map because I'm doing well on it. I recognize that the map blows because I understand it.


sorry for not playing a game competitively, i play for fun and see past the maps faults

Competitive can be fun. Fun is subjective.


no -blam!-


Posted by: aBlueBookshelf
Seeing past the maps faults doesn't make you a better forger and doesn't make better maps


never said i was a good forger, i just asked how to make a good asymmetrical map, never got my answer though
