    Hey all, I wasn't too sure where to post this, but this seemed like the right space.

    I've never forged anything before, but I had an idea and thought I'd give it a shot. I've made this map in the crypt of sandbox and think I've made a pretty decent layout for a competitive map.

    ATM I only have the layout done and I need help with spawns and a weapon layout, so I would appreciate it greatly if anyone could assist me with this. Also, I am unable to do any of the forge glitches, which I think if I could get help with, could make this map awesome, so if any help can be given, it would be appreciated.

    I think I might need to add more cover in between the middle and bases and maybe just around the map as well.

    Also, once that's been fixed, I wouldn't mind getting a few people together to test the map and see what does and doesn't work on it and keep updating it.

    Here's a link to my fileshare with the map - Halo 3 File Details

    here are a few screenshots

    If anyone has a look and has a walkthrough, let me know if you find anything you think should be fixed.

    U need help just go to forging 101 it has everything you need for tutorials in very easy to understand format. As for weapons and spawns they have spawns in forging 101 and weapons i could help you out with.

    My gamer tag is Shenanigans176 if you want any help just add me, and I'll see what I can do to help. From the looks of this you could be a decent forger.

    You should add something in the center that doesn't require jumping. It might help the flow better. Maybe a warthog or two would be good. As long as you put some sort of anti vehicle weapon, like a plasma pistol, stickies, a power drain, or rockies with no spare clips. You should incorporate some sort of duals somewhere, like a mauler and spiker at each base. Layout looks great. Can't wait to see the final product.

    Forging is pretty easy, It's just alignment and time which **** me lol. As long as you have an idea, you can make it happen

    Not sure if you;re taking the piss, but did you read my post? Competitive map. you can walk through the middle section as well as jump onto it. The line of sight splits the room into 90 degrees from each corner as well as giving you some direct line of sight through the section.

    You have some very interesting structures int his map, I like the one in the picture 4 and 5. You should definitely get weapons and spawns set up, this map has some great potential as a CTF map. The levels provide good defence/watchout points and the bases are pretty well designed!

    4/5, just get them spawns and weapons!

    EDIT: Skanky Toast, you can walk up the wedges by the middle structure... They don't need a jump.

    Yeah I've run around it with MLG settings and it feels like it would play very fast. CTF, TS and king might workout.

    I wanted to create a map for bomb, but bungie decided to screw with the settings so now it cant happen :(

    No I mean the way they changed settings. E.G. visible markers for bomb carriers and alerts when planting the bomb. It's like how they changed it from time to numbers. Just stupid, who can't read time?
