Description:​

(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, also another note - now with the Alliance Testing Network we are playtesting 4v4 maps so we may be required to trim down the party size to accommodate for our testing schedule)

​

Event Time:

Saturday at 8PM EST
​

Event Location:

www.twitch.tv/iParaTV​

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 on Live Stream. 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. The streaming also works as a second purpose. Twitch records previous broadcasts - so if you're not able to make it to watch the stream live you can always go back and watch the VoD to see your map or any other map you are interested in seeing play-tested, or hearing feedback on.

By the end of the week I will choose 15-20 maps for the event.
​

Feedback Structure:

With the new Map Testing Pipeline provided by the Alliance Testing Network - I will begin to set a few moments aside at the end of each map to get feedback from players, give feedback myself, and try to record some of the feedback here at the bottom of this post. I will try to do my best to give feedback that is focused around general map improvement and provide a service to the Halo community.
​

Event Duration:

Duration will last until we test most or all of the maps that are submitted.​

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 (if the stream works, internet problems lately)
​

Note (please read):

My OS hard drive went out and I lost my old one-install license to Sony Vegas so I won't be able to make map previews. Any donations you send to the stream is greatly appreciated. We're getting close to the 500 follower goal so someone who has donated will win their 3D-Printed Spartan Model. Any additional donations I receive will go toward a full license of Sony Vegas Pro so I can get back into youtube activities production as well as create map previews once again for these streams.

Playlist:

RobertoLangeCA

8-10 player Slayer on Edge 2.0

Remarks: Very good structure, less splinter grenades, more color variety - cleanup piece placement make it look cleaner and more aesthetic. Hydra maybe because the hammer and the sword is too much - maybe reduce spawn time.
​

Tenstonio

16 player Big Team CTF on Checkpoint 19 v1.11

Remarks: Random death barriers in Cafe, more space between the cars outside of the base. Too much fog. Yellow crate beside the red base can be shot through(343). Long lines of sight need to be broken up to reduce camping incentive.
​

MrBamble

16 player CTF on Hornets Nest

Remarks: Inside vehicle route has an awkward barrier right after the turn - maybe change its location. Gaps around sniper crate. Scatter shot is not necessary. Framerate problems in mid - maybe the spotlights.
​

Vorked Manback

6-16 player Assault on Mirage

Remarks: Guass turrent is very powerful - maybe a railgun. Spawnzones that prevent players from spawning on the other side of the map. Great layout, didn't experience as much framerate problem.
​

Brock sampsin

16 player Strongholds on Embassy

Remarks:
​

I LoTuS I

4-8 player Slayer on Gilded Sanctum MM

Remarks:
​

ANEVILSPAR7AN

4-16 (6v6 preferred) Oddball with CE pistol start on Unforgiven

Remarks: Awesome tombstones, absolutely baller, was very nostalgic. #loveit
​

Gsomekiller307

16 player Big Team CTF on Valley of Death 3.0

Remarks: Map does not work.
​

CaptainDireWolf

16 player FFA on Imperium

Remarks: Thoroughly entertaining. You have a lot of awesome jumping paths and it was awesome that you didn't limit where the player could explore. It made it very role-play-ey and I felt like my objective was to explore, kill, and scavenge for loot.
​

The Grim Dealer

8-16 CTF on Echoes 3.5A

Remarks: Vehicle play is a lot better. We killed a warthog good. It was PRETTY GOOD.
​

2-6 player Oddball on Proteus

Remarks:
​

Crypocalypse

8-16 Player Team Slayer on Checkpoint

Remarks:
​

12-16 Big Team Slayer on Solstice

Remarks: Maybe a base outside, take off the phaton, a lot of awkward spawns. Really interesting structure. Great sewer and base design.

No you didnt say CTF - your map has been greenlit by some of the UCC lobbies so I was cross-testing the map for compatibility. Its a semi-symmetrical map so I thought it would be a good test. Turns out Blue team can grab red's flag, jump off, and take the lift to right above their flag. Its just a cheap and easy flag route for blue team. I think the feedback you got from oddball last week far surpasses the importance of that though, but I didn't notice any differences regarding last weeks comments.
