MLG Arena

the b side looks Fancy

 

Congrats then you've proven that you're not only a d/l ***** but a retarded one too, give yourself a pat on the back. When you put MLG in front of a name it means the map is designed for mlg settings, which your map isn't. You could've put something else in front of it that wasn't designed to trick people into d/ling or you could have thought of a better name than arena for a map but that's clearly beyond your bordering on autistic level of comprehension.

 

You very clearly lack an ability to read. I told you why the name was not appropriate several times but you are too retarded to comprehend anything.

It says MLG but it doesn't mean it's for MLG settings

Thats what its supposed to mean you ****ing dipshit. I started out by telling you why this isn't an mlg map and say its perfectly okay to call it that anyway?. An mlg that doesn't support mlg settings, wow. Its the same thing as when people tag their map with forge hub on bungie, it misleads people which is annoying. I think I'll make a blackout variant and title it "Forge Hub Infection racetrack (9 million d/ls!!!!)" that seriously makes about as much sense as what you're doing.

And I don't flame every post I see, but when you act like an arrogant retard for post after post eventually I will call you out on it.

I'm laughing at your stupidity right now.

 

Looks cool. I downloaded the map and will sheck it out.

 

Nothing about the map is mlg. Now you're saying you're going to make it into an mlg map later, rofl. It clearly wasn't designed as an mlg map and was never intended to become one and now you're just trying to talk yourself out of the hole you've dug yourself. Your logic is severely flawed, no way you're older than 12 (no offense to the cool youngins here)


I cannot however debate you further due to the infraction I have received for flaming.

Carry on.

 

I agree in the fact that it's not at the standards of most MLG-intended maps. It's not symmetrical (most are), and it lacks those certain "combat focus areas" that MLG maps have.


As per the flaming, both of you guys pulled the "I'll get the last word in, but I hope he says something back" trick. This is supposed to be different than the Bnet forums. If you don't like a map, say that in a somewhat tactful manner at least, or just don't comment. It's not exactly difficult.

 

Then truly pass it off, and be the bigger man without the small, subliminal insults.


As per the map, I do the same thing. I make something I think is sweet, then work on my next map according to the criticism of the previous (and others). While there are no rules saying that you can't name your map "ForgeHub Sucks" if you want, there is still the understood law that if you name it that, you better come packed with enough work to back it up. See where I'm headed?

Personally, I despise most MLG maps, because they're usually just box-gameplay. I'm more of a fan of originality in design. My complaint stands as stated, I can't fault you for naming it the way you did. I only recommend that you prepare for some controversy if you describe a map with other qualities than the standard of what you've described.

 

You haven't made a point yet, I've made several and you've only responded to them but by regurgitating what I just said and repeating it in different words. My argument is very clear, yours is garbled and inconsistent.

Also, there are no pro-mlg map makers (forge is not a profession) but I d/l a lot of mlg maps and know all the standards of them, and you would have to completely re-do the map to call it mlg. If you really want to be the bigger man you would just take the mlg part out of the name which is all I've asked for, or give the map a major, MAJOR facelift. I mean no insult to your map as a whole because I haven't played it, but I still recommend you change the name to make it non-misleading because in its current form its not mlg.

You've changed your reason why this map has mlg in the title twice now, so don't claim I was flaming you in a bnet-ish immature fashion. I came in trying to be helpful but you responded with both immature and uninformed posts. I've spoken my piece here in this thread. Good day.

EDIT: Another good reason for an overall name change is that MLG had a "forge the foundry" contest a while back and the map that won was called "arena" and it was an mlg map. I think you should just change the name overall because there is multiple ways people could be confused here. Just some advice.

 

Nice!

i like the map a lot, and good job on your first post! I HAVE A PROBLEM!!! ONLY EVERY OTHER POST GOES TWOARDS MY POST COUNT!!! HELP!!!

 

*sighs*

I've read your posts man. I'm really past flaming at this point, if you're going to make it into an mlg map at some point than thats fine I guess.

I never intended to turn your map thread into a flame war, but I do feel I've brought up some valid points as to why a name change might be a good thing that could actually help your map. I think you could handle what was at first constructive criticism a bit more maturely than you have.


If you are actually making it mlg you can use some of the things I outlined in my first post. I would also recommend removing some of the ledges that grenades could get caught on because mlg people don't like that very much. Also it looks like spreading the cover out would increase the flow a bit better. EDIT: Also I would recommend taking a bit of cover away from the buildings as they seem a bit overpowering if you have a br, also make sure its not budget glitched.

 

great map for a first post, gameplay looks pretty good, there are just so many great mlg maps out there, but this is a pretty good one, nice job.

 

Echo, hit the lightz is just stating that in no way does this map meet MLG standards, as the name implies. Yes its your map and you can name it whatever you want, but I would suggest changing it.

Also, MLG maps have to be very smooth with little bumps. Turn the boxes upside down and interlock them. Add cover to the open areas, as in MLG it seems to be easier to die quickly (from the longer shield recharge rate).

Shield doors, mainly due to Snowbound, are not usually in MLG maps. They seem to provoke camping and clog up game play.

Teleporters can be used in MLG, but in this case it would probably be better not to use them. A person could easily camp the suspended towers and when they see someone coming up (as the sender node is out in the open, it appears that it is possible to see who is coming up from the tower) get behind the teleporter and get a quick and easy assassination.

I would also suggest blocking off the back hallways of foundry, as those don't seem to have a point to them.

Just another suggestion, but if you ask for critique on your map and people give it to you, its not exactly a good thing to snap back at them when they are just trying to help.

You say not to judge by pictures, but there is a reason pictures are required. They tell everyone else how good the map is. Most people can tell right away if they are going to download a map. If they wanted to point a game play flaw that would be nearly impossible to tell from pictures-then they would have to download and find out.

Hope that helped
