** Follow me on Forgehub to get alerts when I make these posts ** Drop your gamertag below if you want to be invited to participate in playing, rating, and providing feedback for these maps. Event Time: Saturday at 3PM EST Event Location: www.twitch.tv/iParaTVImportant 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 and taken map submissions from the thread to playtest on stream. Each event lasted about 5 hours as we tested about 20 different maps each week. This week we're switching gears. Instead of taking submissions through this post we will be testing maps that are already posted on Forgehub. This will channel feedback more directly to the developer and allow us to get more activity on individual map posts. Want to enter your map? Post a link to your Forgehub map below. You cannot enter your map unless it is posted on Forgehub and meets the standard minimum requirements. Event Duration: This is a new approach to the typical Saturday customs so I can't guess how long it will last but we will begin early in the afternoon (EST). Additional information: I'm going to be testing out some new hardware this event. Hopefully I can get everything setup and working early on in the stream so the VoD quality can be a lot higher.

Map: Caryatid Gametype: Slayer, CTF, or Strongholds. It's set up for all of them. It can support 4v4, most likely best for 5v5. Though, by the layout and size, it could even play Big Team Battle.
Map: Light Cycle Arena Minigame Gametype: "The Grid" (Essentially Breakout gameplay) http://www.forgehub.com/maps/light-cycle-arena.1727/ Map: The Hunger Games Minigame Gametype: "Catching Fire" http://www.forgehub.com/maps/the-hunger-games.1377/ I look forward to any and all suggestions for improvement. I am also up for testing other maps as well at 3.
GamerTag: Max Extra Map: Breached Gametype: really whatever you feel like (stongholds is what you all tested last time) http://www.forgehub.com/maps/breached.1565/ You tested this back on 2/6/16 and I have made some updates based on the feed back so id like to see how it plays. some changes include: lighting has been brightened Edges near lift have been better defined with some utility lighting. neutral flag spawn fixed cameras slowed down Over shield has been lit up more.
I’d love to join, I’ve had great fun in these in the past (ThisIsNotTheNSA). I may be able to test some new gamemodes on Episphere, it depends on if I can get them finished in time. (Minigame up to 16 players)
If I post a map tonight will it still have time to be entered into your lobby for tomorrow? If not no worries I will still be happy to show off my pro halo skills while testing some maps. GT: xxBRYTExx
Gamertag: RoastingLamb Map name: Impasse v1.6 (v1.6 is the most current version) Usable Gametypes: Team Slayer, CTF and Strongholds Amount of players your map supports: 4 v 4 and 5 v 5 Description: The aesthetics of Impasse was inspired by Valhalla and Standoff. It was designed for competitive Arena matches in mind. The full details can be found in my thread: http://www.forgehub.com/threads/wip-impasse-final-name-still-being-determined.150752/#post-1627614
Gamertag: MrBamble Map: Rat's Nest B.1 Requested Gametype: Capture the Flag (Or Lobby Preference) Thread Link: http://www.forgehub.com/threads/wip-rats-nest-h5-re-imagining.150791/
Glad to see that you are testing forgehub submissions now. So many maps get left without a single comment. I might be able to play tonight. Gamertag: Tenstonio
I had to update the light cycle map because the newest update messed it up pretty badly. The new one is in my bookmarks. Thanks.
I made some pretty big changes to Echoes and added support for Assault, so I'd like to try it out. Echoes 2.0 is the new save file I want to play.
I've added some maps to the list and i've added testers as a friend. Add me SZR iParanormal if you want to be able to join when the lobby is open
I'd love my map tested by people here! Tag: D4rkDeath Map: Imperial Throne http://www.forgehub.com/maps/imperial-throne.1246/
Is this recorded? Is there any way to watch the stream after its over? I can't participate due to timezone difference
If you still have time I fixed my Light Cycle map if you'd like to try it again for me. I'd suggest just using breakout since the custom game types are on the fritz and changing it so the camera follows people after you die located in the "respawn" section. If not maybe try it out next weekend. Thanks!
