HCS: Season 2 Discussion

Seems legit

 

After today's session, I'll be surprised if Strain is ever even looked at again. So embarrassing & disappointing to see that. Somewhere between the move from Awash to Skyward & completely screwed up the initial spawns. We spawned all over the map right off the bat. After that the spawns weren't horrible but they weren't great either. I'm so upset with myself. They never did that on Awash.

 

No worries, we liked the map enough to overlook a small easily repaired technical difficulty.

Testing went very well. For almost 5 hours we played full games on each entry, plus some extras, and went back to try some maps with different game types. It was a very positive experience this round and a good number of the entries will be sent upstream (after receiving the required repairs) to be put in front of pros.

We have no further details to give you today and all further announcements will come directly from i.

 

Thanks for the encouragement no kyats but still, to be there with actual 343 & cartographers & have that happen just made me sick. I knew something like that would happen when I rushed reforging from Awash to Skyward. Just stupid, I blew my chance for matchmaking back in Reach over a small simple matter on Arbor Pointe & never had a chance after that. Not that my map here was the best by far but I still would have preferred to impress you guys rather than have such a bad 1st impression.

Thanks again though guys, sorry I had to back out of the testing, today is my wife and I's 6th marriage anniversary & she's finally recovered from her recent boob job, lol. Hard to argue with her on that!

 

I'm really glad to hear you like it most. Have you seen the new version yet? Hopefully you still like it the same amount because it's changed a good bit. I actually took all of the feedback everyone has given me and remade the map completely just for them and HCS.

Though Bravo replied to one of my tweets I'm not sure that will help my chances at all. I just tagged him in the progression picture of the map because he replied to my picture of the version ages ago and figured he may be interested. And sadly, I haven't had the opportunity to test it extensively. I've gotten about 5 matches on it but it's so hard to get a 4v4 lobby. Everyone who has played it have been having a blast. So that's good.

 

Venom KotH clips from today's HCS testing. Hired Michael Bay for that opening hill rush.

 

Sooooo Venom, War's map, and any third map that doesn't conflict with Venom's chances? Hmmmm... Sorry, this seems soooooo bloody familiar.

 

Did Eden get looked at?

 

That's basically what I said in my party. Haha. "Fated's probably going to put this on youtube because I'm pretty sure he hired micheal bay to direct it."

 

That was a pretty epic initial Rush.

 

And i missed it trying to unsnap the stupid Party app.

 

So did Naded get to test some maps and if so is there a rebroadcast of it?

 

Nadeds rebroadcasts are for subscribers only so even if he had it up there you would not be able to see it unless you are one of his subscribers.

 

Damn that sucks.. I shall try to watch the rebroadcasts of Ryanoob, Contra or Randa then, if they were playing with Naded that is.

 

Might be worth adding Tesla to the list. Regardless of the critics, it appears Tashi approves of it, and its gaining traction in the pro community.

 

The pros just have to become familiar with the other maps. For instance, Oracle does the same thing as tesla but looks significantly cleaner and make bottom floor relevant, which is a huge issue in tesla and even a minor one in midship. Regardless, is really pushing the looks for viewership and tesla simply isn't aesthetically pleasing at all. Not bashing, just pointing it out.

Edit: Wooh! Just noticed Dispute is most voted by one at the moment.
