    Cosmic I didn't say that I could make a better map, I just wanted to point out that this map will be rated high simply because it's been featured aswell as having a great gameplay. I'm sure you agree that this map isn't as good as Kentucky Tango (which is my all time favourite Foundry map). I only wanted to point out that sometimes it's not fair to the members that are soon regarded badly, because they posted the wrong words in a forum, despite the quality of thier maps. You don't know how hard it is to make a good map, for someone who isn't as skilled, or as popular as you. Even if they do practice all the time. I'm sure the guilders and such enjoy this map, because they play it with each other, when I only ever get to test a map with random people invited from the last Big team Battle. I'm sick of people hating me for the words I post in a forum. It makes my maps bad before I even post them, if you know what I mean. I have -11 rep already just because I offended people by accident in the forums, I'm literally scared now that people will rep me for this post aswell, so I'm just gonna stop typing now. Sorry for offending you..

    Oh, and you want to help me I'm gonna be posting my first map soon, after about 2 months of practicing, so if you want to criticise me there rather than here, go ahead. Don't wanna cause any bad feeling...

    You can make a good map whether you're popular or not. We look at all the maps we think are good; we don't just auto feature. Rick definitely has skills, and your insinuation that his maps are featured over others is because of the skills and popularity is bad. We don't feature popular users. We feature popular maps.

    Almost more important than forging skill is the ability to be creative with your ideas. I have never seen anything similar to Kentucky Tango, and I've never seen a better working elevator in a competitive map than this one.

    Hey, no worries, man. I wasn't challenging you to make a better map than this. I was just wondering if you knew of any others similar to this that deserve featured status more.

    And yes, you're right. Map features do depend somewhat on reputation, but only in what gets seen by the people who choose (and they'll still play good maps from random forum posts). But I have a map awaiting release, "Infinitower" that I know won't get featured (unless people drastically change their minds).

    And good maps have very little to do with skill and nothing to do with popularity. It's creativity and patience all the way. Anyway, I look forward to seeing what you've come up with.

    +rep, btw. Just keep tabs on yourself in the forums.

    Hey thanks for plus repping me. I gonna stop criticising people now. I finally got round to testing it (when every single person on my friend list was online and on halo 3) and I know what people mean when they say "I am always discovering new parts to this map" because I found that too. You seem to have a strange ability of increasing the size of Foundry for the better. I saw this in Kentucky Tango too, when I've played the map loads with 3vs3 one flag, I only just discovered the huge part of the map behind the main structure. Love the elevators, they work fine.

    OK i'm never ever ever ever going to post a map because I don't know where to start! I always have a mental image of what I want to create, but it never turns out how I like it. I've trashed so many maps that i've made, I don't think i'm ever going to post a map!

    I agree also I didn't know that that worked that way, but then again, I haven't played custom games in a long time.
