    If you make a Forge map and save it, can you play that map with friends in a custom game on like slayer, team slayer, infection, etc.?

    yup, otherwise creating maps in forge would be completely pointless. You can also go into peoples fileshares and download their maps to play as well.

    Okay, thanks. I'm going to make an awesome Infection level. Can you play then without the other person downloading it?

    Sounds like you're new to Forge.

    If you've saved the map, and you are party leader, you can select the map in your saved maps, and it will load for everyone.

    OP, message me when all your questions are answered. I'd lock it now but it seems you need a bit more help.

    yup you can, basically, once you've created a map in forge. You'll want to click the option "Save as new map" in the start menu in game. (You will need some form of Memory Unit. Either HDD or Memory Card)

    Then load up custom games and press A on the gametype. This will allow you to select you gametype (if you've created your own gametypes (By Pressing X) they will automatically be displayed here.

    Press A on the map, this should open a list where you choose a map, Notice as you move down the list it opens a Sub List which contains all your Variants here. If you saved your map as INFECTION 001. It will be displayed as INFECTION 001 in the Sub List.

    Your friends dont have to download the map off you to play it with you, they just stream the map in pregame lobby and its then available for them to download form their recent maps.

    How do you turn the way an object is facing? For instance, a barrier.

    hold the right trigger and use the left stick to move it closer and farther and the right stick to change the direction it is facing
