1v1 Forge Contest Discussion

I would say the remedy to this is to make sure youve properly tested your map with other players who may not have a newer model console. If you or anyone else isnt capable of finding someone then id be glad to double check the performance of your map prior to the submission date. I am on a day one console.

 

how does one even come up with a design for a one vee one type style of map

 

The same way you come up with any map: Inspiration.

Look up games that are more geared toward individual player skill. Look at how the level design differs from modern Halo level design. Retain the same characteristics that makes the 1v1 play fun and interesting, while acknowledging the differences in mechanics.

 

What if I want frame drops to be a major element of my map?

 

Pinterest and Artstation

 

There are some great works of art on ArtStation.

 

I thought they had everything and then I found Pinterest.

It's literally infinite.

 

If your map doesn't have performance issues you're not trying hard enough.

 

I have 16 blocks placed down and have performance issues

 

I recommend having this contest start before Destiny 2 releases.

I highly disagree with the idea of waiting for forgers to fix performance issues with their maps. If this was a BTB map contest then I would understand, but it isn't difficult to make a 1v1 map that doesn't drop frames, nor would it take long to fix.

Second, fixing framerates will have a negative impact on map aethedics/detail. So what's the point of rating a maps art if it's going to be changed? Even if the changes are hardly noticeable, Their should be a strict cut-off date before judging begins.

 

Agreed. Waiting sucks. Just have people submit maps that aren't broken in terms of framerate.

 

I don't think performance drops should completely disqualify a map.

I'll consider it when judging, but only if it proves a detriment to gameplay. Otherwise, performance drops of some sort are pretty much guaranteed if the map is pushing the object limit.

 

I think this is good, but people should submit maps with the framerate that they feel is appropriate, and be judged accordingly. I don't think they should submit, fix while everyone waits, then resubmit.

 

Frame rate is gonna drop no matter what. I'm playing with a 1070 and i7 6700k both overclocked and STILL get frame drops. It makes no sense. I'm not even using max settings, either. It's ridiculous.

Edit: "Sad."

 

It's an internal problem with the engine, has nothing to do with your build.

 

That's kinda what I'm trying to say

 

its almost 2018 who the **** cares about framedrops on forge maps when nobody is playing them seriously and theyre not going into matchmaking?

i havent played a decent map in this game that doesn't have performance issues unless it's an aesthetically simple remake.

 

this. the engine is trash just forge your maps
