Linubidix Presents - MLG Falcion created by JAYclash This is now the link to Version 1.5, enjoy. First of all, this isn't a map made by me, Linubidix. It was made by a good friend of mine JAYclash. Everything in this thread other than the map itself was done by me. I took the screenshots I made the thread on Bungie I made the sweet graphic at the top He made the map It is a symmetrical map designed for the MLG Gametypes, as he is a big fan of MLG. The map uses the open area of Foundry, the bases have been blocked off in such a way that it isn't escapable, even via forge, I think? There are two identical bases, which look on to the middle area, which consists of two levels. A skilled jump is required to make the distance between the base and the central area. The top level of the middle area is only accessible from the first level of the middle area. In the centre-top of the middle area is a sword, the only power weapon on the map. The middle area branches out to take up the entire row which is why there are two ways to enter the other side, by going over the side bases or by going through the open single boxes. But most of you haven't read any of this, so here is what you want. SCREENSHOTS An overview of the map, unfortuneately the annoying crane is shown. One of the bases A closer look A view from the bridge leading from the base The Central Area Looking out to the side from the centre A 180 degree turn Looking at the second level of the central area One of the side bases One of the open single boxes Looking into the central area Another overview JAYclash is quite proud of his map. So check it out and tell me what you think. BTW: If you don't know, this isn't an official MLG map. Although JAYclash hopes it becomes one. If you didn't see it up top - This is now the link to Version 1.5, enjoy.
Has JAYclash considered merging the single open boxes into the ground? It would require a jump above them, but running through on the ground floor would be smooth. Overall looks neatly done, quite derivative however. I'd like to see something slightly different in an MLG map sometime and retain the gameplay. I'll try this one out sometime this week.
It (and the other MLG maps on Foundry) are all a bit too bland for my liking. They're good maps no doubt about it, and I do like them, but they just lack scenery. Also, because me and Jay see each other at school for the majority of the week and we're often at one and others houses, we generally tell each other about the maps that we think of or that we've started or finished etc. He didn't tell me about this at all. It was a surprise for me, because what I've seen (no offence Jay, if ur reading) he isnt the best forger. He knew how to do everything in forge but never could really be bothered making a serious map. He'd rather own everyone in Matchmaking. So it was a pleasant surprise when I saw it for the first time, incredibly smooth, well thought out, good weapon placement. I liked it. I believe it suits MLG
I read MLG, but the sword just ruined it for me, False Advertising ftl. And most MLG maps seem very bland, I want to see a little bit more complex MLG map that actually plays MLG ok. Maybe more scenery/switches?
This map looks very well put together. I like your use of interlocking and how you used the callouts. Sadly, I do not really like to download MLG maps and play with no one on them. Good job though.
These are my thoughts exactly. Especially the sword thing... that really gets me, I don't think they use swords in MLG, I've seen maulers, snipers, and rockets, but no sword
As well, it looks very bland... Not because of the map layout, but for MLG rules, it seems very, very devoid of cover. Replace the sword with a mauler or perhaps rockets, add some more cover, and it will make this map a whole lot better.
I never got how MLG allows maulers and rockets...but not swords... Limited range power weapon's not allowed....but you let them have the n00b tube of death and devastation at mid/close range? The map looks fairly good...reminded me of onsalught so i'm sure its MLG-ey but i personelly dont like MLG. Thats just my preferance tho,im sure the map is good
Ya the sword has to go, its not really that great of a weapon for this map anyway, you could even put a sniper there, and is there a custom power up?
For an MLG map this needs a few improvements. Don't get me wrong, it looks awesome but it needs some cover to begin with. Everything is bare. The bases, the side bases, the middle. Take MLG Onslaught for instance, it has cover where it is needed but does not overdue it. This map here, has none. I think with cover it would be amazing. And yes, MLG does not have swords.
I have not played on this yet but I think the actual 'bases' are a bit to small. The middle is really great. I will dl and see if the 'bases' are actually as small as I think they are. Also replace Sword with Rocket/mauler.
Is everyone just forgetting midship? Midship was one of the most played maps in halo 2 by the MLG and it had a sword in it. I don't think there are set rules against it in halo 3, it's just that they haven't placed it in MLG maps... EDIT Another example is lockout in halo 2... it had a sword...
ok i made this map with a sword because i have played and tested this map so many times plus falcion means curved sword. the rockets kind of suits falcion, the mauler and sniper absolutely don't work on this map. the only other thing that might work is a custom power-up. either a overshield or a active camo. there is plenty of cover, it may not look like there is enough but once you have a go and play it with a few people you end up understanding on where you are meant to be so you can make the most of the cover. the walls and boxes are relatively big. there is one place that i will add more cover. you will see that in version 2. the open box on either side will be fixed in version 2. leave some more feedback on if i should put a custom power-up or rockets in place of the sword.
you guyz should go see my killtacullar v1 map it is nearly 10 times better cause it has nearly 4 dimmensions/openings in every spot and i also spent almost 20 hours making it so you really need to see it. ill add pictures tommorow probably.
you mind, this isnt about your map its about mine. you dont even have pictures yet, whats the point about having a map on forge hub, if you dont have pictures.
Don't advertise your maps in someone elses topic. On bungie.net your can be blacklisted for things like that. Here i can pretty much guarantee no one who see's this will look at your map now
