    I can’t say I’m a fan, looks like a blocked out map without an art pass. You should post the max amount of pictures so people have an idea of what this is. Especially at this late in a halo game, no one is really going to download your map to just see what it might be, there are a million maps to do that with. Give people a reason to not just scroll past. Also, it is considered rude to just post a bunch of stuff at once, you move everyone else down with a wall of just your content.

    I don't have to post a bunch of screenshots since I linked a video I made about the map.

    I watched the video, and I can tell u liked to forge and that's a good thing,, opens and unlocks creativity.. which everyone should have....

    U said in your video that u were trying to keep it simple which is fair as it is your creation .

    Few things which I think could help on this map if u ever wanted to re-edit it..


    1: some walls and doors
    2: lines of sight blockers which is just so u don't get shot from the other side of a map and not so easily spawn trapped.
    3: changes in verticality, so gameplay can flow like water be like water
    4: simple decorations just to help orientat a player on the map. Whether they be skirting boards or ceiling boards or wall boards..
    These things do not have to be heavily time consuming in detail but they do help a bunch so simple ones will help.
    6: I no d4rkdeath all ready touched on the matter and u responded but more screen shots really do help Evan though u have a video and props on the video good job..more screen shots because some people won't Evan watch your video ..so try to add min 4 or more.

    7: keep on forgn and b like water ahah.. peace

    Most people, including me aren’t going to watch a video if there isn’t anything that is already interesting about what they see. If you are proud of your content, don’t be lazy about promoting it. Look at some of the top maps on this site for example.

    This x10. I'm not going to watch the video if the map does not look good. And since there is only 1 screenshot for me to base this off of, odds are the map is not exactly amazing. Me and many other people wont waste the time watching the video if you cant put in the simple effort to make the map more viewable without watching a 3 minute video.

    Theater mode has been stuffing up for me lately and it keeps on saying that there's an error whenever I'm trying to get into it, so, it's not my fault. Yesterday, I was trying to take screenshots but like I said, Theater mode kept coming up with errors when I was trying to get into it.

    You could just skip through certain parts of the video and have it on mute.

    Nobody want to do that though. With pictures people can see within 10 seconds whether or not its worth their time. You need to make your map more accessible to people, rather then the other way around.

    It sort of look like half of it is underwater. And I agree with Darkdeath and Foge. You need to give people the incentive to try your map out by showing them screenshots and a description that gives a basic rundown of what the map is like, how it looks and what they could expect from the layout. No one is going to watch the video just to learn something that they could see from a few screenshots. If you want people to try your map out you need to give them a good reason to. Also, please don’t flood the first page with your content. It gets in the way when other forgers post there maps and limits the attention that their maps will get, so try and keep it to one map at a time please.
