I randomly ended up in last night's session and it was a lot of fun. We tested some good maps, and my newest two maps got put through their paces. (For anyone that was involved, the links to those map threads are in my sig now - they are Murder Manor and Canals of Venus.)
I want to add that the folks I met in last night's second session were awesome. Not only are they talented Forgers, but very friendly and enthusiastic about working with others. This Forgetacular testing idea has been a huge help, and I hope to involve myself again when I've got time.
-c0gentf0rce -Ex0tic Escapade -Race -Weekend Evenings, but any evening other than Wednesday would work with a good length of notice. By the way, I'm also developing an infection map that I'd be happy to film when I'm done. Looking forward to test your maps as well! Here is the thread for my race: http://www.forgehub.com/forum/reach-race-maps/112837-exotic-escapade.html
I'll be online pretty much all day tomorrow (Saturday). I'd love to get in on the testing action. -Furious D 18 -Crash Site -Invasion (I'd like to get up to 12 people in the party if possible)
I'll post my info, just in case you guys plan on doing another session today. Gamertag: Prologic1 Map Name: Serpentine Category/Gametype: 4v4 TS/Slayer
I'd love to get in again (if possible). I've made some changes to Bunker, and I've got another map that I believe is ready for a playtest. GT: jovial1 Map(s): Bunker (Multiflag CTF) and Isolation (Team Slayer 4v4) Available: Anytime you see me on. If I don't respond quickly, I might be in the middle of a MM game. I'll get back to you as soon as that's done. If planning a session in advance, let me know and I'll make sure to either be there - or provide whatever notice I can if something else comes up.
I have a map that's ready to go, and I'd love to get in on an upcoming session. Gamertag: Hokets Map Name: Immure Category/Gametype: Symmetrical 4v4/ FFA
Gamertag - DirtyZ0mbie (with a zero) Maps- Clash, and Core Would love to help out and get feedback at anytime.
Gamer Tag: QThe DukeQ Map: Convergence Game/Map type: SYMM, 4v4, Multi, KOTH, Flag, Bomb, HH If anyone is still interested in doing this in a third session I'm game for it. Need to get that 8 player video done. Free Anytime. Just hit me up through here, xbl, or bungie. Usually sleep between 6a.m - 3p.m. range can skip to play Halo though.
Ok, I finished the suggested changes to my map and will be free to test any day this week after 6pm EST except tues and thurs which would need to be after 10 EST and friday is questionable all together. Teleporter to back of red base: Middle Cover/New Weapon placement (I put markers on all in view though some haven't moved):
I'm glad a lot of people are enthusiastic about this. Unfortunately, my Live account expires Tuesday, and since I belong in the demographic that is the "broke college student", I don't foresee renewing it until around Christmas. And, I think my maps are pretty well tested and I wouldn't want to hog a spot in every single testing session. So, here's what I'm thinking: I can pass the torch on to someone who'd be willing to set up and participate in the testing sessions, and they can start a new thread for that/continue using this one, which I'll edit as needed. Or, I can set up a thread that I'll moderate, where people who want to be "Test Leaders" can organize a session, which I'll list in the OP, and then others can sign up for what test sessions are available. This doesn't have to be limited to Forgetacular maps, as I'd like to see this sort of mutual testing continue after the contest. Let me know what you guys think. Sorry I'm going AWOL, but I want to keep this going.
