Thanks for clicking on this thread. I’ve been on the forums a lot lately and have my own stances on various Halo issues. I’m not here to necessarily debate those issues, however if they come up and are relevant to any discussion, that’s just fine. Before I get too much further, is there any thread that forgers can post maps in and try to get people to fill up a lobby? If so, I’d like to avoid redundancy, so let me know. I will keep this light until I don’t hear back from anyone and then I will expand further.
Essentially I forge lots of maps and am always at a loss for testing them because at any one time I can only get around 5-7 players in a party, and most of the time they want to roll in MM. I need to ether find open minded players or a resource with which I can participate in map tests. I’m very willing to perform as a tester for anyone’s map as well, but what I really want at to simulate a few games. I’m still working on the gametypes (I’m going with the defaults to test the basic playability of the maps until I refine them and make them suitable for custom gametypes) and I’m very open to trying out gametypes that other people have on any of my maps. I’ll soon be posting a few screen shots and if anyone is interested in either downloading or running around the map with me to find problem spots let me know. If possible I would really like to make an informal signup sheet for anyone who is interested in rolling a custom game or two a few nights a week to test maps/just kick back on other peoples creations.
Most of my maps are designed for slayer or CTF, and while I’m working on a few for dominion, I will post a disclaimer: I don’t really know of or follow whatever set of rules seem to go into forging the competative maps like blacksite or edifice. I adore both of those maps, but I tend to go for a more aesthetic map that can be inhabited as opposed to a competative map first. I’m extremely open to suggestions and criticisms, as I know they’ll come with the territory of putting out creative content. In essence, I just want to dive deeper into the active forging community and do not know how to do so. If anyone can help me, I would be much obliged.
Thanks very much guys. I’ll send you something tonight if even just a hello.
I’m trying to currently fill a lobby for a BTB map with two asymmetrical bases, every vehicle (except the mantis), and very deliberately places sniper spawns. If you have some friends who would wanna play a game where you have access to every vehicle, can duel with an enemy vehicle of the same type, take bases in sequence in order to put pressure on a spawn, and have access to plentiful snipers of all types then invite them. The one thing I’m really going overboard with here is the snipers because I assume that most people will realize how big the map is and either look for a ride or stay in cover.
No name for the map yet, just made it last night.
Then I have a couple of smaller maps that are for ctf or 4v4, so depending on what kind of party we can get together, we will roll something soon
I consider myself a decent forger (mostly competitive stuff) and I’m totally willing to test maps.
Hit me up whenever you feel like it, heck add me if you want. I’m more than willing to give feedback on any maps, but if I really feel like a map needs work, I will be very blunt about it.
I’ll tell you what I like first, and then what I don’t like.

Also, feel free to check out Forge Hub - Halo 4 Standard Maps. Forge Hub is a fantastic site, and they’ll give you incredible feedback.
There’s also a ton of quality maps there. I will judge you by forgehub standards, so if it wouldn’t survive there, I’ll let you know.
Totally! I love forging and playing customs.
Shoot me a request later -

I pretty much am up for whatever. I don’t have many friends who play Halo regularly anymore, sadly, so this sounds fun. I also have several maps I’ve made that I’m quite proud of and would also appreciate some testing.
Feel free to hit me up with some map testing! Gamertag is BANANA B0B (The O in Bob is a zero) I may not be able to play, but if you throw maps in your file share I’m always down to fly around and see where I can help in saving on your budget costs and helping overall map flow. I’m better at helping other peoples maps than coming up with my own ideas
I’ll be good to try some of these maps out tonight if anybody sees this and is down. I’ll be sending out messages and requests as well to those who permitted me to do so!
I have three different maps lined up with three different game types.
A BTB vehicle heavy map 8v8 on Forge Island
A small 4v4/ CTF (Need to tweak gametype but can probably be done easily if ya’ll wanna play ctf) on Erosion
And finally a flood map also on Forge Island with available classes that have shotguns, assault rifles, magnums, thrusters, sentries, camo, and PV.
I’ll be in contact soon, and if not tonight, we can definitely get something in this weekend.
Im down… I know how it is to bust your -Yoink!- on a map for hours and then have no one to play it with! I have a great map we could also play that I made.
