Subject: Whoever created Asphalt.

That's like saying if I hire a mechanic to fix my car, and he does a bad job, I can't say he did a bad job because I haven't "fixed" a car even though it would be obvious.

Fixing something and creating something new are different. It's like telling a painter to sell their easel and brushes because you don't like their work.

See, the difference is, I don't try to pretend that I can make a map. For whatever reason, this kid decided that a cramped corridor-fest would be a good thing to put vehicles on.

Also, I'm not seeing what my maps getting into matchmaking has to do with anything. Even if I were to get one in, it could still be crappy. The fact that this kid thought that this cluster mess of a map was good in any way is what makes me say to sell his Xbox. If you have no concept of map design (which is evident given the vehicles), you shouldn't be bogging down the candidate pool. It might have been at least a decent map despite the sightlines were it not for the vehicles.

Also, being a dick does not detract from my (and a seemingly fairly popular) opinion that the map is bad.

So are you mad at 343 for approving most of the maps they received, or the community for not offering enough selection? Or the CCs for handing 343 the best they had?

The forging community is completely under supported, given how often everyone is demanding new maps. Unless you like paying for DLC after DLC just so you have a little selection, the community is where they're going to come from.

Oh, and being a dick doesn't detract form your point, but it doesn't do anything to improve the map or help the situation. It's just more crying on the forum. Specific feedback is useful. It fixes things. 'Sell ur xbox bk' just sounds like you're mad and have no argument or insight.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

Fair enough. But for the record, I much prefer paying for DLC to community maps.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

That map does not look like all those vehicles belong on it.

  • 03.07.2012 5:38 PM PDT

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

Wait wait wait... was Gordon the one that made the map?

OT: Haven't played it yet.

Nope - I wish I could get a map into MM. I just hate seeing people work like crazy to pump out maps when 343 gives them like a month of notice and then have them get shat all over in the forums. While everybody else was hard at work complaining about the TU vote, these guys were forging and testing for hours. And of course they had to try to deal with Reach's rather quirky vehicle sandbox. No amount of forging can make the tank any less OP. Well, unless you just forge a box around it I guess.. lol

If it was my map, I would rather have useful feedback so I could improve it than useless complaints. And these forgers are members here, so they see this -blam!-. If you post something useful - it might actually make a difference unlike with developer maps, where you're lucky to get a couple soft kills added.

Asphalt is a great map as it was originally designed. We asked him to spruce it up a bit for Heavies. Vehicles and power weapons aren't necessarily supposed to be balanced or set for any sort of competitive play.

The author of this map has a great track record in Forge and has done a great deal to improve Matchmaking over the course of Reach's life. I hope he doesn't sell his Xbox. We would all suffer.

This. I haven't gotten a chance to play on the Heavy version yet, but I was a huge fan of how the original version played.

New Zealand is pretty much the best place in the world.

Good post Homeboyd.

Maps take time and effort to make, people shouldn't be such dicks.

No, your question should have been "Who in 343i thought this map was good for BTB and HEAVIES?"

Maybe if he takes time and effort he should make a good map then?

As I really know maps take time, 343i does not know what a good map is.

I played it once, and at the beginning someone in our team died because of the forge glitch.

  • 03.07.2012 6:16 PM PDT

Lightspeed glitching everywhere!!!! So fun!!!!



Let's see how long this maps lasts before 343 realizes the problem with this physic glitch.

Yeah, because it's been a big secret since Reach launched that covenant vehicles can't handle driving over anything. If 343 were going to fix it, they really should have by now. Or maybe indicated that only UNSC vehicles would be appropriate on FW maps.

ftfy bro.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Probably still not going to take it out. If Atom's still in Reach, this will, unfortunately, stay as well.

The glitch triggers on just about any forge piece. Anything other than the fixed map geometry can cause it. Spend enough time screwing around on default Hemorrhage and you can prolly get it to happen.

And given how often it happens, what's worse - the lightspeed glitch or Vanilla AL? Hmmmmm? lol

  • 03.07.2012 6:35 PM PDT

It almost always happens with flooring, it's a hell of a lot more common, besides who would be driving a rev up and down the landing pad on Renegade? A map with 100% forge floor spells disaster when there are a -blam!- ton of Ghosts, Revs, and Wraiths.

Goat was famous. Irie was infamous. Gh0st was FaMaS.

My stats in Halol 4

Typical Waypoint post.
no it's "its got to go" you wouldn't say the "it is got to go" would you?

lol, I played that map once.

All I had to say was there's no point in using vehicles because the bridges are actually faster.

Well, I hope they fix the glitch instead of pulling the map. They already threw the bleedthrough baby out with the bathwater..

Haven't played lolreach MM in a while, so it might have, but I saw it come up and be voted for in TSN and Invasion (or BTB, forget which) last time I played.
