    This map is meant for a four on four custom game

    First things first: You need an embedded picture or your post will be locked.

    A description of your map is 99% necessary, so i would work on that.

    And asking to get on matchmaking is very premature. If every map that deserved it got into matchmaking, you would hardly play an actual map.

    well...its a invasion tower defence, elites are the "creeps" and spartans spawn in the towers. loadouts vary by phase, each phase has its own area of the map. i have a big team one, but have yet been able to test it. for screenshots of it go to my youtube page (w4rd3n5). i am working on images now.

    Dude i'm not here to break your heart or something but this is not matchmaking- worthy by far its just a bridge some towers and some walls, it looks like you made it in like 30 minutes you should put some more thought into this and some day you may get up there but that day is not today. the maps in matchmaking takes over 20 hrs to make so you gotta have a little more patience (sorry).

    As said before im not trying to be rude but this map is not good :/

    Who the -BLAM- are you, LOL Master?

    Check your attitude. If you are the type of people that ForgeHub is full of, I'd leave this community and never look back. Calling someone's map trash and telling them to give up is COMPLETELY uncalled for. I always thought ForgeHub was a great place to get CONSTRUCTIVE feedback to GROW as a Forger, not be put down by other people.

    Warden5 05, don't give up. Keep building maps for the custom game community. Keep at it and you'll get better and better. ForgeHub has lately been very picky about maps having visual flair and "aesthetics" ..it can sometimes seem that it's more important for a map to LOOK a certain way than PLAY a certain way. It's sometimes unfortunate, but the truth is that your maps WILL benefit from the extra effort. They'll catch people's attention, stand out from the others, and often play better as a result (if you design your aesthetics properly, to clue players in to what they should do next).

    I would say that matchmaking is too lofty a goal, for anyone. I think you should always build your maps for the custom game community, not to get into an official playlist. And goofy maps like these that don't follow the standard slayer/objective/etc gameplay just don't end up in matchmaking.

    Its a custom invasion. The objectives tell you where to go. And yes its simple, all tower defence is simple, but the objectives and getting it to work took forever. It runs perfectly, give it a try and if you like TD games I think you will like this twist

    And it is completely non-functional without the custom gametype

    no I get it. It actually really seems like a tower defense type of game. My suggestion is to improve on the aesthetics and make it longer. Ya matchmaking won't happen for mini games like this.

    Today I start on TD V2 I will make it fell even more like a classic TD game, extend the duration, and even pretty it up a bit

    Edited by merge:


    TD V2 is done and in testing...I most likely will not update this map...it is just the prototype for later versions V2 isn't as nice looking as I wanted but I ran out of money...just give them a try....once V2 is done testing I will upload...I welcome new ideas for it...but remember I'm trying to make a tower defense..
