Forging a new Big Team CTF Map for fun!

So, I am currently forging a Big Team CTF based map named “Sub ‘n’ Pipe Yard” in which where the area has concrete standing pipes for cover along with a few mini-submarines on the map too, the map is not that very big and wouldn’t really seem to fit in a Big Team CTF match but that’s generally the point of it because it’s supposed to make it feel chaotic and tense with all of the amount of players that flood in and it starts to make it feel like a riot, not really sure what’s gonna happen next, like, what if the enemy rams me over and crushes me with a Tank or Warthog? What if a sniper is eyeing me down through the fog?
So, there are standing-height concrete pipes that are usable for cover or for a safe or escaping route away from the enemy’s grasp in time, there are a litter of guns that spawn in around the map from loadout weapons to standard and non overpowered REQ weapons such as the sniper and binary rifle, the gravity hammer and so on, there’s also a Halo: CE Magnum if you look around for it…
There are vehicles and turrets on the map too, either one or two of each turret I believe (note, there is an Anti-Air Shade turret that I can’t delete because it keeps infinitely dying over and over), the vehicles consist of 1 Scorpion, 1 Mantis, 1 Wraith, 1 or 2 Ghosts, 2 Mongooses (or Gungooses), 2 Warthogs, and 1 Rockethog.
The game mode for the map is Big Team CTF since it is meant to hold up to 16 players max to add in to the slight sense of tenseness on the map, the only Bugs I have so far is:

  • A continuously Anti-Air Shade Turret that keeps dying again and again - The Intro Cameras not correctly playing (not so much as the same issue with the outro Cameras although, seeing that the outro cameras DO work to say the least.)But in all of that, I’m just posting here to let anyone who reads this Topic/Post know about the Big Team CTF map that I’m forging and to see what people think about it, and before anyone says it: No, I’m NOT making this map so it ends up on the Social or Ranked Playlists, I’m just making this map just for fun and for primarily just custom games as for a bit of fun Big Team CTF gameplay on a map of my own with nothing else in mind, that is all.Leave a reply if you wish to!

This is the best mindset towards making a Forge map, you Sir are doing it the right way. Creating a map specifically for a playlist is never a good idea as then you will create false hope for yourself if it doesn’t make the cut, plus it becomes harder to motivate yourself to finish projects. The best Forge maps were created and became as polished as they were because the authors cared about their own work and skills rather then trying to please the rest of the world. One can never please everyone. I look forward to seeing your map in the custom browser. Let me know when you finish. :slight_smile:

Thanks! It’ll be done soon, just fixing the current bugs on the map as of now and then it’ll be up on Custom Browser!
