    CHANGE IN PLANS - 2/13 CUSTOM EVENT IS LIVE
    [​IMG]

    Reply to this thread if you have a map you would like to test
    Fill out this to submit your map:
    GT:
    Map name:
    Gametype to play:
    Amount of players your map supports:
    (Be aware that the fireteam lobby is usually pretty big and often full at 16 players... let me know if you would rather not play your map if we have more than the recommended amount of players)
    Description:​
    Event Time:
    Saturday at 8PM EST
    Event Location:
    Important note: Stream audio is configured so the stream will hear everything everyone says. On that note i believe it to be necessary to mention that all talkative, nonsensical 12 year olds need not apply.

    Event Details:
    Over the last few months I have hosted a customs event on Saturdays. Each event lasted about 5 hours as we tested over about 20 different maps each week. The idea behind these custom game events is to give map developers a chance to see their maps played, give the community a chance to see what we've done with forge, and give my friends and I an opportunity to have some great Saturday gaming and streaming.

    By the end of the week I will choose 15-20 maps for the event. Once again I will try to spread out the gametypes between competitive, action-sack, and some clever, custom creations.
    Event Duration:
    I would estimate the duration of the stream to be about 5 hours.
    Event Feedback:
    If you attended the last event, either by watching the stream or playing in the lobby, how could I make the next event better? Did you like the custom videos I did for the event such as the intro video and the map previews? Do you have any feedback for the event?
    Event Schedule:
    I will update this post with a list of maps lined up for the testing event. Feedback will be actively provided through stream. I will pick a few maps to do Map Preview videos for which I will air on the broadcast just prior to playing the map.

    Below is a spoiler tagged "Favorites from" previous events, click it to see the expanded list of map names and GTs of maps when many 'oooohhs' and 'aaaahhs' were heard.

    Description: A infantry BTB map that takes place in an abandoned FOB that was overtaken by a landslide.

    Haven't had a chance to test it because I barely get enough people for customs but if t could be featured and I can get some criticism it would be greatly appreciated!

    GT: xXorcrisXx
    Map name: Fission v1.05
    Gametype to play: Big Team CTF
    Amount of players your map supports: 8-16
    Description: Fission takes place on a UNSC nuclear power plant. The map features a vehicle friendly surface level with isolated outskirts and nooks. The seven paths between the surface and basement provide a porous battleground with a variety of unique sight lines, flag routs and strategic strongholds.


    You can find the Map on my maps on ForgeHub or my files on xbox under xXorcrisXx
    I look forward to the stream.

    If for some reason you get down to a lower amount of players, I have two maps you could play. If you end up not playing them, that's fine too.

    GT: SmartAlec13
    Map name: Gutter 0.1.0
    Gametype: Team Slayer
    Players supported: 8v8 (but 4v4 recommended)
    Description: Green sewer map, mix of long sight lines and cqc, features tunnels for fast travel around edges. Still in blockout stage.

    GT: SmartAlec13
    Map name: Pantheon (Beta)
    Gametype: Breakout
    Players supported: 4v4
    Description: Wide breakout map with a strong greek temple theme. Good mix of CQC with long sight lines to prevent quick captures

    I understand if you can't play mine because the party is too big

    I have made some changes to Waterworx. I would like to get in on another playtest if we could. Possibly Ctf this time because I think it plays the best on this map.

    GT: IK Tat3rs
    Map Name: Waterworx
    Gametype: CTF

    Let me know if I make the cut :)

    Turns out, I can submit multiple maps!

    GT: Vorked Manback
    Map name: Ossein Gulley Pit
    Gametype to play: Big Team Battle CTF or Slayer
    Does your map support 16 players?: Yes
    Description: A pit-like encased gulley with a bridge in the center. Teleporters offer on-foot gameplay amidst the vehicle-based chaos. Currently works with BTB Slayer and BTB CTF. Hopefully the spawns are in working order.

    GT: Morslupus
    Map: Mantis Arena 2
    Gametype: Strongholds
    Description: I found an interesting way of having this map work with 3 strongholds. 2 surround each team's big central building, while the third is up on the train tracks. I didn't do this before due to the blocks used to make the tracks made movement a royal pain.

    I didn't think about using invisible blocks AT ALL. Derp de Derp derp.

    Gametype to play: BTB CTF (BRs on spawn needed)
    Amount of players my map supports: 16, 8v8
    Description: After the play test last week I rebuilt the map from scratch to fix some basic issues. It takes place in a snowy forerunner environment now. It's a CTF only map.

    Gametype: Classic Multi Team Strongholds (Classic Team Slayer if we have 4v4)
    Player Count: Supports 8v8, best with 4v4

    GT - I LoTuS I
    Map Name - Gilded Sanctum
    Gametype - Team slayer or FFA 2v2, 4v4, or 6v6 (might get crazy, but fun)
    FORGE HUB LINK - http://www.forgehub.com/maps/gilded-sanctum.1657/

    LORE - This water treatment facility was found in the year 2335 on the Island of New Japan on planet Reach. ONI seized the facility after years of local worshippers claiming eternal youth from the gold infused perfectly preserved water.

    GAMEPLAY - Gilded Sanctum is a horseshoe shaped map with three total elevations for gameplay, two lifts on either end shorten the distance to combat and teleporting between bottom and top add tons of options for the player.
