    Welcome to the Oracles Playlist!
    Hosted by OracleGamerx
    Fridays from 7-9pm EST
    Xbox Club
    Mixer Stream
    Youtube
    Map Review/Feature Submission

    This Custom Game lobby is for Halo Fans to get an awesome kickstart to their weekend by finding the latest amazing maps to play, testing and publicizing their creations, and having a blast engaging with the Halo Community​

    Lobby Schedule
    At about 7pm, players interested in the LFGs from my club are invited to an Xbox Live Party Chat, then players from the other clubs, then anyone who has directly messaged me. The lobby will usually be kept to 14 players so we have a little wiggle room for people who disconnect from the lobby, unless we have BTB maps to playtest. Map rotation goes from Core to Infection, Minigame, and Race. If player counts are too high or low for specific maps, the map rotation may be altered. Any maps submitted for playtesting or features will be played first, then any maps bookmarked from Forgehub. The game night will end when the player count is too low for any more maps to be played (usually after 2 hours)

    Map Playlist
    Each week on Thursday, the map playlist for Friday will be finalized and posted down below in a voting poll so players can provide feedback on their favourite map types. Each playlist consists of 12 maps, divided evenly into 4 categories of Core, Infection, Minigame, and Race maps.

    Rules
    -players must be in both the Xbox live party chat and the Halo 5 game lobby
    -players must be not be disrespectful, annoying, and immature to other players
    -Players may request other maps during the game night, but only after the map playlist is complete and if they have the map bookmarked
    -The party chat is open for players that disconnect, but do not join the party if you have not been invited by myself
    -players must not be shouting out requests for maps during the playlist rotation

    Any failure to follow these rules during the game night may result in removal from lobby

    How to Join
    Join the xbox club "The Oracles Playlist Custom Gamenights". An LFG will be posted a minimum of 2 days prior to the Game night. Simply click "Interested" on the LFG and you will be entered. LFGs are posted in other clubs as well but members of this club get first priority access. In this club you can also submit maps using the provided template in the club description with the same rules that apply above. You can also see what maps are in the playlist on Thursday, recommend other maps to add to the playlist, and host your own lobbies.

    Map Submission
    If you cant get enough players to test your map, consider submitting it for playtesting. If you are in the lobby when we play the map, I will give you some feedback of my thoughts on the map. If you would like a more in-depth review, consider submitting it for a Map Review on my Youtube channel (more info below). Maps must be submitted before Thursday but after Saturday for each game night, otherwise it will be put off for next week. Please submit your maps using this template

    Map Name: (My Awesome Map)
    Author: (OracleGamerx)
    Will Attend: (Yes or No)
    Map Type (Core, Infection, ect.)
    Gamemode (Standard mode or minigame)
    Short Map Description
    Specific Feedback Request
    (sightlines, weapon placement, ect.)

    Mixer/Beam Stream
    The Game night will be streamed and recorded on Mixer (previously Beam). If you have a map you submitted for playtesting and you couldn't join the lobby, watch the stream to see how your map played. The entire party chat is recorded so you can hear what other people thought of the map.

    Youtube Map Features/Reviews
    If the simple playtests aren't for you, check out my Youtube channel "Oracle Gaming". You can submit me your maps on HaloWaypoint for either a Map Feature or Map Review and get your map in my next video. Also if your looking to learn how to Forge, I also post Forge Guides which teach you everything in-depth from basic map building techniques to some advanced tips and tricks.

    This lobby page will be constantly improved, so let me know if you have any unanswered questions about the lobby in the comments below. Enjoy!

    Gamertag: Qrrbrbirbei
    Map: Melter Skelter
    Attendance: No, I have to work :(
    Gametype: CTF
    Player count: 4v4

    Short Description: semisymmetric facility beset with heat and flames. Sniper spawns bottom mid, and power ups spawn on the upper levels. Each base gets a silenced br to start, as well as and asymmetric weapon layout to counterbalance the power up locations. Red base gets a shotgun to the mid left, a target dmr on bottom right, and plasma nades in the left basement. Blue base gets a plasma pistol top right, their dmr target far left, and plasma nades their bottom basement. Testing has shown that the top level controls choke points, basement for flanks, and middle for upsetting the opposing teams hold.
    Feedback: I'm looking to add 'ice' in an asymmetric field to completely change the way the map plays as well as have it melt over a period of 6 minutes, so keep an eye out for places for ice ramps and walls of snow that could be unique and interesting!

    The map doesn't appear to be in your files, have you made sure to set it to public?

    One more thing...
    Long story short, Melter Skelter is currently unplayable. I'll message you but it should be done (again) by next lobby
