I am sure that everybody here has seen the youtube series Halo 3 Forges. You know the one who makes videos about maps and never puts the creators name down. The ones with the annoying voice and don't know what maps to pick half of the time. I was getting really tired of these people and what they do when I had an epiphany. Forgehub's own version of Halo 3 Forges. We could have the entire community helping in some way. We could open a tri-weekly thread for map nominations to put in a video. These would consist of the download link to the map nominated. We would likely post forgehub maps seeing as most good maps have been posted here on forgehub. But we would attempt to post a few maps we have found from custom games with our friends. Once the staff have chosen which map to spotlight we can have a few people go and search for the original creator in the depths of Bungie.net. Then select staff could do the filming portion of each months episode by giving details as to why it is a great map and some gameplay of it being played. Then the event staff might want to put together a video and put it on youtube. For all you people out there who say it is just coping Halo 3 Forgers.............. Who cares. People would rather listen to people who make quality videos and don't scream into their microphones. If you think that this is a good idea please say so and tell me why in the comments box. ~forgegod17~
So, basically like Featured Maps, but with videos. Just do that. Except we sometimes do videos of Featured Maps anyways.
Well I would be super happy to help out with this and we don't have to do featured, we can just do ones that catch our eyes And I would love to be a member, I just don't have a cap card so we need someone with one of those
Cool, I most of the evnt staff have one. Maybe we can see if we can draw one of them into this. I might make a blog to keep track of the surefire winners. Any ideas for our first spotlight or what we should call it. I belive that we should do castleanche because it is a great map that hasn't gotten the kind of attention it deserves.
This idea could be turned even better, instead of just random people walking around the map, you can have say, one or two hosts and a guest(s) for every map, who are the creators of the map. Who knows the map more than its creator? This way you can maybe come out with better conversations and tours of maps, so it would be like an interview at the same time!
My friend and I are already at it, we are going to call it forge lobby. You'll see a thread with our first video soon. Although one just for featured or something might work better.
Hey guys! This is actually really really Ironic. I got sick of that series too, and wanted to post something that I sent to the main guy here on this site. Pshhh, here it goes!
Guys, I know I am new here and don't like to double post. But want me to just try ONE episode and you guys can tell me what you think??
Is it HD? I'm usually not a picky Dbag but if it's not then I can just use mine. I can always use help though. What maps, and so on. I'd obviously have you in it aswell.
