Sounds cool to me. I'm a big fan of Forge, and I've figured it out pretty well.

I'm going to enter my version of Guardian. It's named "Jungle Twilight". It's actually pretty cool. I spent around 2 hours perfecting one part of the map. I put the sniper up to where it would've spawned if this was lockout and put 2 barrels behind it. If you shoot the top of the left barrel from lift window, it will come straight to you. :P

We all played from the start. :|
The Hornet breaks the entire game. It's so overpowered. The other team just came over right away, blew ours up, then we couldn't do anything until it respawned. It can't be a fair game when it's so easy to use cheap tactics like that.

My game is fun. If you like football, you will like it. It's on Narrows, people go across the man cannon, and theres more lifts at the bottom to luanch you back up in it, and people take G hammers, M gooses, trip mines, and people just get LAYED OUT. It's so fun

Needs a theme...So people will actually go out of their way to think about ways to go about map editing...

Anyway, I may end up doing this but I doubt it.

I would put in the rules that new weapon spawns and spawn placements aren't allowed. I may have not been able to play halo 3 yet but placing reordered spawns or a mayhem map with explosions everywhere is not what I believe to be a contest worthy map. It needs a creativity side to it, like how in that vidoc before halo 3 was released you saw the map where everyone was in an endless loop of teleporters. Now that is creativity.

I think new weapon spawns needs to be coupled with other things such as teleporters and scenery and such. Also modified gametypes for spawns of people as well as the goals as well probably. As he said just moving some weapon spawns is not good enough. It must be a good map. Of course my maps have moved weapons and added weapons. That isnt to say that is sucks. It would suck if that is all I did though. Added scenery and moved goals and teleporters and such make for a better game. A well filled out map. Yes I did put in my rules that if the map was dumb I wouldnt put it in and may even leave a note for people to toast them till they go back and try again. I hate simple maps that people dont take the time to work on. I played a map that just had everything taken out and then they put only mongooses in it. I mean holy crap you could maybe put them all at a starting line with some weapons for people to shoot at eachother with as well as putting the spawn points next to the vehicles and some scenery for sidelines and such. I mean yea dont be dumb. Have some common sense so we dont waste our time looking at crap. Make a good map and spend time on it. If you want help send me a request. I love working on these maps. I Co-Authored a map with a guy and put floating turrets in it and such. Now its a hit with all the people on my friends list. xptoast is my gamer tag. Add me and lets play some forge.

NOTE: To figure out what is contest worthy check out the three maps I have posted. I think Bunker would be one that you should look at. Vahalla riot is not as good. Teleporter is good but not perfect. Check those out and then make us a good map. I cant wait to play your maps.

I am going to test out your maps :D

Boya I got two more maps to add to that list. Should I make it a rule that these maps need all gametypes fixed?

Can we get this sticked before it gets lost in the all other topics? I wouldnt ask for a sticky if this wasnt a contest. Plust good forge maps are hard to get since it takes time and work just as a mod would except for the broken idents and such. All I get now are dissappearing objects that have thier spawn points too closely mashed together by the collision of the objects.

Anyone needing help? I got some cool tactics to make things float and stuff. Let me know. I will continue to add to my file share as new maps are completed. If your map is good enough I will add it to my fileshare if you want. I got bungie.net pro the other day to make this easier for us.

both of my maps ar 100% completely customized.............

My zombie map which is on last resort, has teleporters that take u to places that cant nomally be reach like on a place as high as the wheel and the zombie starts on the beach and everyone else is inside and all weapons ar in there and all opening ar blocked of pretty good but be careful there ar some spots i made less blocked of so it wud be pretty fair................

My other map wich is on narrows has explosives falling from the sky,and there ar some that go through the air lifts and fly across the map,so u can be trying to cross the map and u could get closelined by one....
