This has been known for quite some time. What's funny is peoples responses. Seriously? If you really like the maps shown, you'll search them, find them, and... what's that? An author signature? Never even knew it existed. People need to chill.
Orly? Halo 3 Forges say that you can find these files in their File Share, and if you take a look you'd see that the author was changed for every map, which isn't necessary for an upload. If a simple search would find the map, why don't they do a search and find the original author? I did a search for Forgotten Crypt and the only version I found was Vice's so they could've easily of done it, but were probably too lazy.
I've already reported the files. It's a shame people have to steal other people's map. But hey, just count all the DL's they have as yours. You know you made it.
PM them and complain. They'll probably take more time to credit people in the future. They might at least change their vid's description to give you credit...
It's not about the dl's, it's about knowing who made the map. Who took the time to get every interlock correct. Who took the time to get the overall design down pat. **** a download count. It's all about the name, and the deserving/justified recognition. I personally am disgusted that they've been doing it, and when I saw machinima.com's youtube hosting the series, I unsubscribed. It's an absolute disgrace.
Do you Honestly think they will take that into consideration. Besides the fact that its Machima's channel and they probably get hundreds of messages the don't bother to look at anymore. Tex says it all. A DL count is appreciated, but recognition outlaws it. I'd rather people know the time I spent on the map, rather then having someone else receive my credit. It totally contradicts the point of making a map. The only posssible solution I see fit, is to address it on the Machinima forums. Sign up, make a thread, and see the responses. I'm sure some die-hard Machinima fans won't even know the crime they're commiting. Good luck.
thanks everyone i need all the help i can get hopefully this will work and the credit will be given. and tex says it all thats what im angry about i got no credit sure its nice that its been Dled alot but i got no credit. at this moment my biggest fear is to see one of these on bungie favorites made by them. that would be the last straw i need the help i can get to make sure that does not happen, and mabye help others in the future.
Sigh... I didn't mean Dl # specifically means everything. I mean, think of all Dl's that people have given your map, under the pretence that this other loser made it, and just think of that as your own. It's not the number, but the meaning behind it.
Yeah, it's worth a try at least. You're all sitting here clucking like hens complaining about it and none of you are actually doing anything. Anyway, you could always message the actual creator of the series, not Machinima.
yay thats what ive been doing, but ive gotten no response from anyone from the studio or anyone ealse for that matter.
They're at it again, this time stealing felipe dos' work. Maybe now more of the FH community will care.
