You could give points for reviewing maps to (also helps give good idea of who'd be a good forge critic) , remove points if you get banned, etc. Etc. This system sounds pretty great.
For me, the problem with FHFavs is 1. I very rarely visit the maps section. Which is odd, because it used to be all i went to back in the Reach days. Something about this format keeps me away from it. 2. The “Nominate this Map” option is tiny and out of the way for the mobile version. Why not have a button next to the thumbnail, or at least right as you open the thread? 3. The stupid date restriction. Ive gone to multiple maps to nominate them, only to find i cant. Im not going to fish for maps within a certain date to nominate.
Ya boi, Agent Zero85, is waiting very patiently to acquire the forge critic tag. No, really, i'll wait.
I think the map section is absolutely atrocious and needs redone. I never go to that part of FH because of its layout. Just revert it back to making a simple thread.
@ExtraSpicyMemes will have a better commentary, but... It is basically halo kids using forge to just build a base and hang out with other kids and more social players. They think it's a lot more serious than it actually is ANyone can use forge, which is good in a way, but then people don't know that there is better stuff out there. That is a huge problem, because what occurs is that whoever builds the FIRST maps when the game comes out, gets TONS of downloads/bookmarks, and then from there it snowballs because people sort by most popular and believe those are the ones THEY should also bookmark, and do. It becomes MORE popular and the process is stuck. Anything 343 could do in the next game to mitigate that would be appreciated.
Clan training is the next generation of halo maps, no more "core maps" or "mini games", clan training is the way of the future
that label that's next to your name, non-special people... it's written in the same color as the forum background and if you highlight that area next to your forum name and avatar, you'll see it says: Spoiler "ForgeHub Critic"
