    Nice really holding to run my map w/5v5 (default mm ctf) hopefully we can get the guys to fill the lobby, and thanks again to hulk for get'n those vids again. Can't even say how awesome it is to get a good gameplay vid for your map. Very valuable to see your map through the eyes of another player, helped me a ton. Can't wait for Tuesday to run another test gonna need to do twice a week, lol.

    So to add extra incentive i play tested you map from last week on team slayer and threw the video on my file share.

    I don't understand why you insist on doing team spawns when 3 respawn zones and 3 anti respawn zones does the trick just fine

    Well I will try this when I set up the map this time around. I'm not interested in viewing the film b/c the layout and design is outdated now but I much appreciate the incentive. I will play Team Slayer on the new design which I think you guys are going to love, way more than the previous. I will record your match but I am a state away from my xbox right now, and will be until Sunday evening. I just have a lot going on right now and spent what free time I had getting that map ready for next week.

    I know you're urged to get it and I'll get it for you. Depending on how I'm feeling when I get back Sunday.... you'll have in Monday morning @ the latest.

    The title of the thread is the 19th, he just copied and pasted the text off last week's lobby. It's this Tuesday, the 19th.

    After playtesting Chimura with a group of new people i have decided to make some more updates because some of the things i was hoping to accomplish didn't get done. Also some of the cool jumps i put down didn't get used. So except a new version to test soon.

    Some of the main things i want to adjust the jump to mid green base. the hole in yellow base. The weapons respawn times. and a few other things that have been nagging me.

    I am now saving films from all testing and viewing them because i have found that looking at somebody elses move give great insight into what to do for.

    I don't have much of a list.

    Dax and I are doing a co-forge, but that's the only WIP I have now.

    So I should have seen this coming but unfortunately I have to back out of my slot this week. At least someone else gets to play now. Is there any chance there could be another Saturday lobby this coming week, I still need my fill or fix or whatever it is the children are calling it this days.

    Hey, at least you just moved up a position, as one of the other reserves just got promoted in Cyborg's place.

    Cyborg - I could do another Saturday lobby, definitely. Will have to check my schedule but maybe one of the next two weekends.

    Wow, I planned to join in on this, but it filled up so quickly. Put me on the reserves list just incase I suppose, but I doubt I'm getting in this as long as it's a 4v4.

    You'll probably get in so be sure to show up! Nutduster always ends up pulling from the reserves and we also did 5v5 last week with the intention of 4v4 beforhand. Hope to get to test your map!

    Within an hour... where were you?

    Hope to catch you next week!

    I don't have a bunch of ongoing projects. I'm trying to start to treat this like a professional career and will work on a map until it has been proven, tested, and ready for battle. All my previous maps I consider a learning experience. Longest Yard, Morbias, and Mech Bay were just for fun to get some arena maps out there to support the gametype. Those maps are very easy to make for not much rules apply.

    My new ship map I am considering my first real map that I'm going to try and push all the way to matchmaking (4v4 contest). Once the map is ready, I'll submit it and then begin on something new. Anything else is just for fun, a learning experience, or a waste of time.

    I need to submit my 3 arena maps in the finished Halo 4 maps thread.

    My ship map is ready for some real testing this week now that I know how the concept works into Halo. I think I have a better understanding and it's just an evolving process now before the polishing begins. I also decided to go with the map name, "Payload."

    As far as any other maps go, I'm always shooting ideas through my head and it's always a theme, not a map. Once I have decided on a theme I go with transforming that theme into a playable map. That's what I have done with all my works before and will continue to do with all my work ahead. Companies don't want maps that play good but don't make no sense. The arena style maps are becoming the past as gameplay is starting to adapt to realistic environments in video games.

    Here's some ideas I may consider:
    -UNSC Military Factory (probably my next map)
    - Shopping Mall
    - "Kill House" Urban training environment (a big enclosed house with many rooms, hallways, and levels)
    - Futuristic Football Stadium (haven't figured out how to make this work yet)
    - Walmart/Shopping center styled map
    - Spaceship
    - UNSC Patrol Base on Ravine
    - Cave map on Erosion
    - UNSC Ship large bay room from the final mission in Halo: CE
    - a BTB map on Ravine using the terrain

    Sunday night lobby. TONIGHT. (Maybe?)

    Suddenly and unexpectedly, I have an entire evening to myself. Wanna help me fill it with Halo? Will be starting at the usual time (7 PM EST) and if I can't get the usual number of players, we can just do small team testing. Still following the usual rules, though I was thinking I might try unrivaled's suggestion of doing one game per person and running through our entire line-up twice, to see how it works out.

    Sign me up, Im close to finishing a map I would like to give a try out tonight, especially since this is my last day before college. I don't have a mic though and I may have to come off at some point because I will be a little bit busy. Though I should be alright for a time.

    Oh BTW the gamertag is XXXBlizzardWolf
