    Forgehub I need your help. Ive only got 2 more days to finish and test this mlg map for the MLG map pack 2 and I cant think of any type of base to make. I need an expert forger to design the base. All Im asking for is someone to do a ruff copy of the base just as long as I get the idea. I really need the base done asap so I cant put he spawns on and test it.

    If you can help plz comment here and Ill send you the map.

    Honestly, 2 days? You can't even properly TEST a map in 2 days, let alone build 2 bases, balance objective and spawns, and then test after. But if you really want to...eh...I'll come back in a bit with a picture I'll whip up in Photoshop.

    EDIT: Beware of awesome photoshop skills

    The main area at the top, would have the gravity lift entrance if you're coming from the bottom'; and if you're entering from one of the sides, there'd be two ways into the base.

    If you wouldn't mind, recommend it to me @ WTFitsBlaze, and I'll try and throw a base layout together then send it back to you.

    I'll give ideas, being the kind person that I am.

    Well, since most of your map is based on arches, maybe have the bases slightly arch up and jut out a bit, kind of like the base on Relic on Halo 2. You could make one base have a 'wooden' theme, and the other have a 'gold' theme. I guess just folow the basic MLG base, with 2 entrances in the sides and 2 in the front. Just don't make it boxy like Onslaught is, maybe make it aesthetic and round like Heretic's base. Well, that all I can think of.

    Sure Thanks Ill send you the map right now. Remember just make it ruff copy. Ill put the time into making it smooth. Edit:Just sent it to you

    Thanks for the ideas. I was actually planning on make areas on the base where you could jump and slide up to the top. Ill definatly take a look at the halo map relic so I can get a clearer picture of what your talking about.

    Kindly point out one other map that does so, I'd love to see it.

    And because you can't (and I'm aware you can't) take your opinion, and leave this thread.
    So do ya' like my idea? I took a whole 2 minutes to think about it.

    Yer of course. Im nearly finished making it. I will update this post in a 10-20mins with pictures.

    EDIT: This is just a quick forgeup of what you suggested. Tell me what you think give me suggestions. Also in the third pic you can see the slanted wall. Thats theyre to provide cover for the bottom of the base and if you jump onto it you can slide up to the top of base. KEep or not??

    I appreciate this isn't of much use right now, given you only have a few days to get this map done, but in future I'd strongly recommend drawing up a first draft design of the entire map before you even think about turning on your 360.

    im not sure if this problem has been solved.. but given what you've shown me, id suggest for the bases cutting off the corner of the crypt and making a curved back wall, like most of the other walls in the map.

    Second, if you look at most mlg maps, they all have a large tower either side in te bases, so construct those after the back wall is done and the 2 side paths are connected. Finally, introduce a more complicated front entrance to the base.. E.g. a slide jump like you can do up a fin etc...

    Yeah, I was kind of wondering the same thing. If your going to make a big MLG map, shouldn't you design it before you start even building it?

    Here's a few pics of Relic. Sorry, they're not really the best shots of Relic, and I don't remember it being that big either...

    You kind of the get the idea. I guess I forgot how big Relic was... Maybe make the base wider and not so narrow like Relic is, and not just out so far. Also, you could have the whole base kind of slightly arch up from left to right, similar to the way Narrows arches up across the bridge. I hope I made that clear enough.
