@Acorn - nice re-forge on skyward, I'm glad people are recognizing how distracting the 30 seconds of darkness is on Awash. It really spoils the introductory experience on the canvas, which otherwise would be fine.
Is it known if there will be a next session shortly after this? If not, then I will need to forge my ass off tonight to finish my new map. Lol
I'm sure there will be more testing in the future, however this is the best time to improve your chances of getting in the HCS rotation as we don't have any future testing scheduled yet. I wouldn't leave things up to chance if I were you. I don't have specifics on 343's timeline for implementation but I know this is just an initial round of testing. We usually do a few of these before making final decisions.
Alright, forged all day to finish my map for this. Here is the link: http://www.forgehub.com/WaiHo/maps/Blackthorn The map is designed around KotH, but I've also set it up for slayer and Oddball.
No way I can have my map ready in time which is a pity. It looks halfway decent but it was built on awash. I was just going to finish testing & then move it to skyward but I can't get full parties to test. Sucks bad man. Was really looking forward to this.
No guarantees but I am pushing for a second round of testing on the following weekend, March 13th. Forge fast and have your map complete by then - just in case!
That would be awesome, I'll have a large opening this Friday & Saturday & I can finish it for sure by then. I'll have my fingers crossed you that you can get that to happen.
Has HCS said anything about being interested in remakes of older Halo maps? (Turf, Beaver Creek, Midship, etc) If so, I can try to powerforge my Turf remake from H4 on Skyward this weekend and get it in for next weekends testing
Because I couldn't get it to work on static and have it on 'not place at start'. And when I was working on it my brother wanted to go to sleep and it's his xbox/room so I had to quit forging. So yeah, will definitely be static if I can make it work. @WARHOLIC does my map get a spot in the testing or not? I do not see it on the list and in the added poll, I do see Beaver Creek added though. Just want some clarification on this please.
Camo on static and not on spawn can be done, had it work early on so im sure you will find a way. I will presume War's answer will be no for this week, this map has literally been built in the last day, if we do that for all map then it just leads to a million maps being test. The vast majority of maps have got multiple batches of feedback/refinement etc. Keep blasting the map for the next few days and get it polished, then we'l try get it tested next week As for the list, needs more tesla
It definitely works. I used it on a map with no issues. I set it up just like all of my other static spawning weapons, and just set Spawn at Start to False. If you're having issues, it's probably an error somewhere else in the setup.
Alright thanks for the clarification on the camo guys, I'll try again then. If you guys could leave some feedback on the map then it would be very much appreciated, if it won't be looked at this friday that is.
I have 'Blackthorn' download and intend to test it after we go through the maps I have listed in the thread. I want to present maps that have passed an initial testing phase first and then play on maps from the reserve list. I'll leave you feedback after our session
Alright thanks for the update War. I fully understand that other maps that have been polished get shown first, have no problem with that. Good luck tomorrow and looking forward to all the thoughts on the maps!
Is there anyway I can get in on the testing? Haven't submitted a map, but forge a lot and would love to test and offer feedback.
Hello I see you guys are testing my Beaver Creek remake. I would also like to recommend another one of my maps (Triumph). Its a remake of an MLG map from Halo 3. Its built for competitive 4v4 matches. Supports SLAYER, CTF, KOTH, ODDBALL, and ASSAULT Frame rate is solid and is overall a fun map.
