    Everything YOU need to post your map


    If you are reading this then you are probably new to the site or you have completely forgotten how to post a map. I'm going to try and keep things very simple for you so you can understand things. First we are going to start with the rules.


    Map Posting Rules

    1. Threads must include at least one picture OR video that clearly demonstrates the map.
    2. All pictures must be embedded.
    3. Download links must lead to a posted map on the bungie forums, NOT your fileshare.
    4. You must include at least a brief description of the map.
    5. Thread titles must consist of the map name ONLY - no other symbols, comments or irregular formatting.
    Now lets break things down

    How to start making your thread

    1. Click on the Maps forum

    2. Decide which section your map belongs in. Competitive, MLG, Casual, Racing, Mini Games, or Aesthetic maps.

    3. Click on the very noticeable 'New Thread' button.

    4. Now you are into the thread creation part..follow the rest of the guide.
    1. Threads must include at least one picture OR video that clearly demonstrates the map.


    2. All pictures must be embedded.

    When you post your map it is nice to show people some pictures of what you made. Here is an easy to follow guide on how to get pictures on your thread.

    In my opinion this would be way much more helpful if it were to be moved to the Halo Reach section and stickied, because every one knows Halo 3 will be dead in one month and this thread will be further pointless in this board.

    Oh right. Didn't quite think of putting it in the Reach section. Thanks.

    EDIT: When the Reach Maps section comes out then I'll have it moved.

    Wow. I'm sorry, but this has been done before. Like, a lot. And you didn't even take the time to get currently dated tutorials.

    This is the tutorial you needed to put into your thread:
    http://www.forgehub.com/forum/halo-3-forge-maps/98880-how-get-high-def-screenshots-quick-easy.html

    I'm not sure how you didn't see it, it was at the very top of the forum -.-.

    But like I said, it's been done before. Making more guides will only complicate it. Sorry man, but you're a few months late.

    Actually that is nothing even close to what this thread is. New members are always asking how to post maps. Posting a map involves a lot of things (like embedding pictures). I have everything covered in this thread to make things easier for new members. So before you flame me for posting this you should probably take a look at it yourself.

    I agree, there are multiple guides which explain the different steps, but none explain the steps in order and source everything together.

    Thanks for including my resources :)

    I edited the OP so that it looks a little nicer. I also replaced the screenshot guide with a new and much easier one.

    There is a lot of help threads and guides that you could figure this out from them but this guide gets all that info and compiles it into the one page for new people that find it hard to find those guides so its pretty useful :).

    Was there any need? :S

    I don't think at this moment in time it should be moved, but when Reach hits it should be moved and reformatted for Halo Reach's system if it is any different :)

    I don't know if this has been answered yet, but will there be an Invasion section added - or do we have to fit Invasion maps in Competitive, MLG, Casual, etc ?

    I would assume Invasion will be a prefix, but I could be wrong.

    What about adding a nice title? I've seen people add titles that look like Microsoft word-art. I'm not sure how they do it since the background is always the same color as whatever skin you have selected for FH. Any advice for that?
    Apologies in advance, I'm not that great with computers. Usually to make my post look better I go to a picture editing website, but that only affects the color, not specific photo design.
