The following is off the MLGPro.com website, all current and up to date. All Games Primary Weapon = Battle Rifle Custom Powerup Traits, Duration = 3 Seconds Custom Powerup Traits, Damage Resistance = Invulnerable Custom Powerup Traits, Shield Multiplier = 3X Overshields Custom Powerup Traits, Shield Recharge Rate = 200% Custom Powerup Traits, Player Speed = Unchanged Shield Recharge Rate = 90% Damage Modifier = 110% Player Speed = 110% Motion Tracker Mode = Off Suicide Penalty = None Betrayal Penalty = None Team Changing = Not Allowed GB CTF Nar v5 Sudden Death = 30 Seconds Flag At Home to Score = Enabled Flag Return Time = 3 Seconds Flag Reset Time = 15 Seconds Flag Carrier Traits, Damage Modifier = 50% Time Limit = 15 Minutes GB CTF Ons v5 Captures to Win = 5 Sudden Death = 30 Seconds Flag At Home to Score = Enabled Flag Return Time = 3 Seconds Flag Reset Time = 15 Seconds Flag Carrier Traits, Damage Modifier = 50% Time Limit = 15 Minutes GB CTF Pit v5 Sudden Death = 30 Seconds Flag Return Time = Disabled Flag Reset Time = 15 Seconds Flag Carrier Traits, Damage Modifier = 50% Time Limit = 15 Minutes MLG Ball v5 Score to Win = 250 Ball Carrier Traits, Damage Modifier = 50% Time Limit = 15 Minutes MLG CTF Nar v5 Flag At Home to Score = Enabled Flag Return Time = 3 Seconds Flag Reset Time = 15 Seconds Flag Carrier Traits, Damage Modifier = 50% Time Limit = 30 Minutes MLG CTF Ons v5 Captures to Win = 5 Flag At Home to Score = Enabled Flag Return Time = 3 Seconds Flag Reset Time = 15 Seconds Flag Carrier Traits, Damage Modifier = 50% Time Limit = 30 Minutes MLG CTF Pit v5 Flag Return Time = Disabled Flag Reset Time = 15 Seconds Flag Carrier Traits, Damage Modifier = 50% Time Limit = 30 Minutes MLG King v5 Score to Win = 250 Hill Movement = 2 Minutes Hill Movement Order = Sequence Time Limit = 15 Minutes Respawn Time = 10 Seconds MLG TS v5 Time Limit = 15 Minutes Vehicle Set = No Vehicles For MLG maps, their are no real restrictions on Forge Items, just be sensible about it. (EG. a Man cannon may act as a lift, but don't have it shooting people across maps.) Note that Shield Doors are likley not to be allowed, aside from if used astetically, with no effect on game-play. As for weapons, don't include the following on your map: Needler Fuel Rod Cannon Beam Rifle Plasma Rifle SMG Spikers Brute Shot Gravity Hammer Assault Rifle Also, don't have an abundence of power weapons on Forged Foundry maps, maybe just a mauler. Using weapons like swords may or may not be allowed, Lockout still had it's one in Halo 2 MLG, but it's been taken off The Pit and Blackout (I Believe). So be careful with that. Weapon Respawn are set to 30 seconds for BRs and Grenades, and 180 seconds for Power Weapons and the Custom Power Up. Not certain about Carbines and other non-BR, non-Power Weapons.
Most objects in forge can be used. Just use common sense, no Shield Doors etc. Try to use just the following. Single/Double boxes (closed an open) All types of Wall (Fenced, corner, double, single) Signs Dumpsters Barriers Bridges Stairs Just about anything else can be used for Astecics (sp?) or to build a Wall to close off the map as long as it doesn't affect gameplay.
basically a MLG map is two bases with to side bases and some fancy middle bases thing with fancy cover inbetween everything else Go look at the other MLG maps for inspiration
Some more stuff: No teleporters. Just don't do it. Mancannons are alright (Narrows), just use them wisely and implement them to speed up gameplay rather than to create confusion. Aesthetic powerups should be used to specify bases and provide places for callouts. Be original. Too many MLG maps look like Onslaught, so try something else while still keeping it balanced and competitive. Just because you're allowed to have Rockets, Snipers, and Maulers doesn't mean you should have all three. Moderation is good for MLG.
Great job Entropy NZ. Only problem is with the weapons list. On Foundry there aren't supposed to be rockets. Just pointing that out.

Why not?, rockets wern't on either of the two foundry MLG maps because of their layouts. Their layouts pretty much caused there to be no power weapons. Then theres the FFA map that I forget the name of.. but its free for all, hence no rockets. One last note.. did you have to quote it.. it was really long Oh, and no equipment if that wasn't answered yet.
Yes because they were not allowed on the MLG playlist. If there were rockets on Onslaught and you were playing CTF your team would dominate because it would be hard to stop the flag carrier. There for making it unfair. So Rockets are not allowed.
