Hey guys, my name is Abra. Im a competitve UK player who has attended LANs across the UK, latest being the UK finals for the HWC. Im posting here because I want to help test some competitive styled maps out! If you have a map that needs tested or there are a group of testers out there who need people for lobbies let me know!
Welcome to the forums. I think you generally see less "competitive" maps/lobbies pushed by community members since 343 have made it pretty clear that a) They dont want forge for HCS b) They would take an age to implement anything anyways. Its not like in Halo Reach/4 where it wasnt ran by the dev. Either way, most forgers on here will make a thread requesting help with a map. Post in threads or just grab the map for yourself and leave feedback here. There are always lobby threads around, or the shoutbox on the main page. Of course this is all down to what your definition of "competitive" is (which can vary)
Are you available Monday's? I'm in est but usually have Monday's off work so thinking about hosting a lobby mid day on Mondays when I am not working (could work for European players)
Yeah, its a shame. I would really like to see some forge maps added back into the rotation since im sure there are some sick maps that have been made using the new forge but they have had a bad rep in competitive since reach... Still im open to messing about and testing anything really! --- Double Post Merged, Apr 14, 2016 --- Dont really have a schedule, but im on alot since I am off for the summer from uni. Add me on XBL "Abra EU" and just invite me whenever!
You may want to consider checking out the Alliance Testing Network in Duke's signature. There may be a lobby that would love to have you around often, or if you plan on building your own friendships and your own lobby it is always great to have more resources involved in the process. The goal of the system is to fully QA maps and get them to a higher level of competitive testing in preparation for matchmaking and hopefully one day in the future we can work towards the pro scene.
I'm not sure any of the lobbies are eurofriendly in regards to time zone. Hoping that I can put together a pretty consistent Monday lobby to combat that. Having more availability of testing lobbies in varied time zones is a hope as we expand our entity
Even if you can't make it yourself all of our network lobbies stream and make the video available after either in twitch or YouTube. Not optimal if you can never be there but certainly useful nonetheless. The UCC lobby is our super sweaty competitive testing lobby and it features a pro team scrimming with a semi-pro and then giving feedback so if you want to see competitive maps get sweated on we've got you covered! If you want to get your map in the pipeline register with duke or Max Extra or Demption. If you are thinking of starting a euro-test lobby send me a DM and I'd be happy to chat with you and see if we can't get you into the Alliance network.
I can most likely make it whenever, i stay up really late at nights When is the next night and how can I sign up?
Click the link in my signiture thread to go to the Alliamce Testing Network thread and from there you can get links to the lobbies or look for threads by: @iParanormal @Duke of Mearl @Demption and @Max Extra you put your map into their lobbies and once it's been tested and improved into its best possible version it gets sent up to UCC for a sweat test!
