    In the one map I'm making, I directly copid the lift tower from blackout
    do I need to change this? Or is it possible to add small aesthetic touches to differntiate it
    I literally mean a carbon copy

    I take small pieces from maps all the time. Honestly, you gotta mess with it and make it your own. There is nothing wrong with getting inspired, but Carbon copy is a little eh.

    people copy Bungie maps all the time...to the point that they remake Bungie maps, so I think it's ok. If you're asking if its ok to take a concept from another community forger and change it well that's something that would need to be discussed with the original author.

    But it is virtually impossible to copy exactly Bungie maps as obviously we don't have the graphics capability Bungie has to mess with maps but we can create near identical things with the palette we are provided.

    Well, if you mean bungie's blackout you are totally fine. If its someone elses, it depends on how. Pictures would be great in helping clarify :)

    I have a couple ideas to change it so it looks more original, so I'll try to get pictures of that up, but I dont know when
