Hello everyone, I just show you a map that incorporates the principle of Octogon. An amp with 8 sides and a cross in the middle to avoid sniper fire at the start. The game mode that goes with it is very basic, sniper and shotgun, without any accessories (jetpack, grenades, ...). Have fun. PS: Sorry for my English, but I'm French and I thank google for the translation ^^.
That really looks like it could be made in like 10 minutes. The concept is old, the forging was very basic. I don't get the obsession with MORE and MORE arena maps. Especially ones that are more basic then the original halo 3 ones.
Instead of bashing his map and then musing on why most Forgers suck (which also isn't encouraging), why don't you try offering some constructive criticism? Like this: Hey French Forger. Your map, while clearly modeling use of an octagon in an arena-style minimap, lacks some creativity that ForgeHub is famous for. Try incorporating some of your own original ideas into an octagon, or create an arena from scratch that is unlike anything made before! Some basic things you may need: more cover (so it's not just shootouts), more interesting geometry, and some aesthetic touches. Good luck!
