Ah, yet another featured map. It seems there are maps being featured daily. I feel that most maps do not deserve to be featured. They must be loved by ALL to deserve to be featured. Forge Hub really needs to up their standards on featured maps. Your thoughts?
There's only 2-3 featured maps a week. What gets featured depends on what the community is making. If you don't like the featured maps yell at the community and not us. The featured maps are the best of what is being created at the time. Maybe you should make some maps? Instead of criticizing us maybe you should realize that without FH you would be digging through the Bungie forum's piles of spam looking for decent maps. So what if an occasional map is only decent and not amazing. FH is here to recognize all things Forge. Also note that we have a no petition policy just as Bungie does. You are only making a fool of yourself in front of the other members.
The standard of featured maps is high enough, too many people think interlocking and merging is necessary for a map to be good. The maps quality not only depends on how it looks but more importantly how it plays. One thing I would like to see is more maps with an original idea such as mini games or casual maps, I find these more fun to play than competitive maps which are starting to bore. Even though I am guilty of only making competitive maps...
i totally agree with you. casual maps and even mini game maps are way more fun to play than competitive maps. in competitive maps, you have the same concept over and over again. You do the same thing over and over again. Although casual maps are somewhat the same concept, they are totally different. they have more originality and in many peoples opinion, are more fun to play because they offer a different experience every time you play them.
I'm not really criticizing Forge Hub cause you're right: I would be bored without it. But I'm just expressing my opinion on how certain maps don't play as well as they look, yet they are still featured. I think that FH should play potential features in the weekly games. That way the mods can determine just how good it is. Please forgive me if I'm wrong, but I doubt all the mods test out every map that becomes featured.
Agreed. I used to stick with competitive but those bored me. It seems like it's not as fun as mini games and casual, where you can chill and laugh with your friends. I now make casual and mini game maps. My upcoming map will be my first mini game. But I think FH needs to feature some more 'laid back' maps. Edit: OH CRAP SORRY FOR DOUBLE POST!
That is impossible. We feature the best at the time, its not our fault if the maps that are featured are of a low standard, they are the best available at the time. Besides, we are featuring great maps, its clear that you dont agree with some of them, but as i said, not all people agree with each other.
i also agree with you. its not like the FH users can make a perfect map every time. and its not like one person can keep making featurable maps every day. there will be a week or so until the next best map is created. however, until then, there will still be featured maps, just not the best you've seen but the best at the time.
True. By the way, I think it was you who made Reflex: awesome map! i loved that! But still, It's like the NFL hall of fame: the best of the best get in; only those who would be known as one of the best ever. You say featured maps are the best at the moment. Well I say if it's not good enough then don't force it- just wait for the right one to come.
