speKtra V3 is up, everything is as good as it's going to get, Snipe Tower has been vastly improved, everything spawns at start, and spawns work correctly Download speKtra speKtra is a medium sized map with the focus on 5 main areas. The two story blue base, the two story rocket tower, the three story red base, the three story snipe tower, and the X pyramid. The map runs smooth for the most part, but like any other creation, there are a few slight flaws, the map still plays perfectly though. It took me about three days to make. Best on BR Start with CTF Slayer or Neutral Bomb gametype. Created by Czarnowski29 (Me) XXMike520 (Mike) and Stonewall the 3 (Will) Sorry about the lack of pictures, I'm pressed for time right now, I'll add more later if I can. I wasn't exactly sure how to link this, I read the rules, but it confused me. I'm sorry if I have this done wrong, just message me and I'll fix it. 4 Battle Rifles 2 Needlers 1 Sniper 1 Rocket Launcher 1 Energy Sword 1 Shotgun 1 Magnum 2 SMG's 1 Mauler 1 Flamethrower 1 Plasma Turret 1 Plasma Pistol 1 Plasma Rifle 1 Machine Gun turret

@T90: As David attempted to say, this post is not up to standards. Obviously you tried to embed a picture, but you cannot directly link from bungie. You must save the picture and upload it to an image sharing site such as Imageshack or Photobucket. @David: Please use correct grammar and spelling. I still don't know why you are talking about guilds. @prong: Please don't post a small comment that is not constructive feedback. Although if we still had rep I'd + that post haha. EDIT: I'm not sure if this was the picture you were lookig for, but heres something you can copy.
There are a few things that need to be fixed. The first, your map is sloppy. It doesnt matter how good it plays, it still looks sloppy. Number two, its way too open. You need more cover, and that would be best if it was some awesome structer that nobody else could imagine, because that brings us to number three; Its not very original. Before anyone says 'no other map looks anything like this...' Check every structure. The blue base is a combination of the two most common forging ideas, and they arent interlocked. Your fourth problem would be that. Very few good examples of advanced forging techniques. I reccomend you take a look at BL00D FIR3's forge school videos, and try to overuse those techniques in you next map. You have everything a good forger has, it just seems like you didnt take enough time to make this map. Final tip, try to give every object multiple uses, both aesthetically and practically. Follow these tips and all of your forging endevers will succeed. Before you get mad at me, please realize that I am saying this too help you think about what is needed to make your next map. The biggest lesson for a new, inexperienced forger to learn is that it takes weeks to make those amazing maps that get featured. That is why they got featured. I agree. And nice job cleaning up your thread so quickly. Thats something very few new people take the time to do. Bonus Points! Edit: I spoke way too soon. This map turned out way better than it looked from the pictures, and I have to try to remember to download and play first. The only sloppy part is on little barrier, and it has no effect on gameplay. The base that I said was unoriginal waas actually very innovative. If you already read all of my post, Im sorry and already regret most of that because the majority of it turned out to be completely incorrect. Im not deleting it though, because that would almost clear me of my ignorance. This is my way of saying "Im sorry." I will try not to make this mistake again.
Interlocking isn't required. This isn't sloppy at all! It may be basic, but I see hardly any, if any at all, terribly built areas. 1st: Wrong, how well it plays is everything. 2nd: You must not like avalanche. 3rd: It's quite hard to find something that works well that nobody has seen anything similar to... 4th: Interlocking isn't everything. 5th: Yes, make sure a wall acts as a wall and looks like a wall. You have the wrong aspect of Forging, my friend. Forging a map isn't to get a feature, it is to build an arena for your friends and others to have fun dueling it out. Actually I got featured way back when and it took me about three days. I think this looks like a well built map for not using any advanced forging techniques. Only problem I have is the amount of power weapons for such a small map. This looks best for a 4v4 at max, and having a sniper, rocket, sword and shotty all in this area would make games extremely aggravating.
Yeah, I hate avalanche. But, on topic, you're correct. I epic failed because I posted this before I downloaded and looked at it, and realized that its really innovative. I still stand by number two and five though. Two because I prefer close range maps, and almost 90% of the halo 3 community agrees. That really helps with what people think of it. Five because I dont need your attitude. lol. I apologize for my ignorant rant earlier on, and hopefully can be forgiven. I edited my original as well, to mention that.
Hey, that's fine, thank you very much for the reviews guys, and I took all of it into consideration. I actually just finished fixing the things you guys mentioned. I took out the shotgun and replaced it with a Carbine in each base, I fixed the top of red base that annoyed me, and I fixed the part of the wall that I think you're talking about. Am I allowed to post the new version or does it update every time I save it? By the way, Death YoYo, it's no big deal, I can understand that you were trying to help, I'd much rather you straight up told me what's wrong rather than sugar coat it and tell me it's great.
You need to upload the new version to your file share, then post a new link here. Don't make a new thread, just edit the original post. If you want new pictures, then post them.
hey i would first like to say that despite my first reactions to the photos, this map is really worth everyone's time. i love how it's got the two very distinct bases for each team. i can tell a lot of love went into this. my favortie part of the map is the monolithic look of red base. it looks really well done. so a message to everyone, if at first it looks like a pass, try it out and see how good it is for yourself. yo yo and i found that out the hard way lol
