    Im going to be making a map pack and i need some ideas on what kind of maps to put in and names (of maps and map pack)
    One of my fellow clan members came up with the name Cliffhanger (so im going to make a racetrack called that)
    And another member in my clan (Gt:Bptex) we all call him fatboi.So im going to make an infection map called Bptex's Chocolate factory.

    It's probably best not to plan a map pack unless you at least have map ideas. Try not to set a high goal for yorself.

    For now, just work on posting a few maps with original ideas. Come up with unique maps with great forging and have been tested well. It's better than failing to make a good map pack because you planned so much.

    No offence I see you want to make maps, but instead of saying "right, I'm going to make six maps" You are focusing completely on quantity instead of quality. Like, I've made three maps in about 2 years, I mean not constant forging but it usually takes me about 4 weeks from starting a map, to having it posted.

    My point is basically if you want to make so many maps your quality is going to suffer drastically. Instead of posting as many as you can in a short space of time concentrate on making one very good map.

    Ideas:

    1. Lockdown (cool name) - make it an MLG Map on Foudry, with like, 2 bases, TopMid and some bridge and so on. Don't forgett a rockets and custom powerup!

    2. no name - Something asymetrical

    3. And you should make a wizard remake!

    4. Listen to what Theorem and JFox told you, especially JFox. A good Map needs time to forge it and to test it, when you plan on making 6 maps (that would take at least 6 months to release it and having a decent mappack) everyone else would is play reach ...

    At weekends I usually work about 7 hours straight on a single map so i guess the map pack will take 4 weeks to make probably (and hopefully it will be good)

    I get were you are going so i guess i will make a map or two and them make (and remake)the maps for map pack on reach.But better.
