I jsut finished up this showcase on my latest slayer map. Go bookmark it and take it for a spin with some friends!
Holy god, how long did it take you to build that map? You should totally get some custom games going in the customs browser, you’ll get some major positive feedback.
My bad on the double post! I didnt realize it was taboo and the community creations section barely ever has a dialog on posts…so thats for replying!
It took a long time but I never keep track. The video did take about 15 hours of play/capture/edit though.
I have played a few customs but the saturation of lobbies makes it a long shot for people to join.

I’m sorry to hear that about your custom game lobby success, I think you need more recognition. Have you tried submitting your map to 343i and possibly getting it into the matchmaking rotation?
My most popular map, Excalibur, was featured in a 343 community update spotlight, and I submitted it for 4v4 Matchmaking, but it was never considered.
This new map has even more scripting and “outside the norm” going on with anti-gravity and more power weapons that normal, so it’s chances are pretty much non-existent to be in arena matchmaking, or even social slayer by my observations. Which is a shame, because stuff like this has an audience and people who have played it enjoyed it greatly. You win some and lose some

Well hey, at least you got featured. That takes talent. I think coming from you 343i devs would at least look at it and consider putting it in somewhere.
Also, don’t forget to quote people when you speak in reply to someone. That way they get alerted when you talk to them.

And, there aren’t that many power weapons, I only saw a Shotgun, Needler, Grav Hammer, Sentinel Beam, Plasma Pistol, and the only true game changer, the beam rifle delta. If you really feel like there are too many guns on the map, I’d remove the Needler and the Shotgun. From what I see in the trailer, there are a lot of close quarter areas that would make 2 close quarter power weapons too strong. And the needler doesn’t seem to useful from what I’ve looked at, not a lot of open areas for it to be useful. All the other power weapons on the map look like they fit great with the theme and mood of the map.

Roger that on quoting! You missed the grenade launcher at the weapon platform. Its all the way in the back though. I put the shotgun in for 2 reasons: I love them and its a close quarter weapon opposite the hammer so both teams have a chance to get something in that realm. voids tear and GL are both projectile “trap” style weapons. I jsut know that MM slayer doesnt like that many things to fight over or possess usually. And scripting world hazards on this scale never seems to get any bonus points for consideration into a playlist.
And truth about getting featured! Not many people get that opportunity. I hope I didn’t come off as whiny. I just wish more interesting projects got into teh game than standard paint-by-numbers fare. Ill throw this into the submission thread for fun. It cant hurt

Hell yea man. And oh yea, I didn’t catch the grenade launcher, I love that gun. But despite the amount of power weapons on the map, I still think it has a great shot at getting into matchmaking. The only other map that I remember having an anti-gravity chamber was in one of Halo Reach’s DLC packs. It was honestly one of the coolest additions to Halo reach, but it was sadly put behind a pay-wall, so not many people were able to experience it.
DUDE this looks awesome, I’ll be playing it tonight…

Cool deal! If you remember to, post your thoughts here after you’ve played some slayer and strongholds. Thanks for the check out.

will do, so far I’ve done a quick run through it finding weapons and I already like the balance like the gravity hammer and shotgun or needler and brute plasma and I like where to grenade launcher position is but I know I’ll be going for the void tear to watch doors and have team mate take out the first runners to the beam

Shoot! You really are going after it! Its good that people are noticing the power weapon offsets complimenting each other.
