The Hangout is a great map. I played on it over the weekend and it was awesome. Total Halo: CE feel to it. Non budget-glitched too; and that's very impressive. Needs some minor tweaking to make some of the surfaces smoother, but I'll happily work on that myself. I'm glad to see that they are starting to lean towards asymmetric layouts finally.
That only supports my claims. The map has no style, no theme, no soul. Much of the interlocking is a little untidy for a MLG map. Too many colours thrown together, makes the map look dull. Walls dont make for a nice looking floor-piece You only like it because you are looking at how it was constructed, and how it plays. Yes that is what MLG is after, but thats not what everyone is after, cetrainly not me anyway.
Both of those do look very impressive, I'm actually really excited to check them out. I wish more of those guys would at least post there maps here also
Umm exactly? The problem on this site is just the opposite where a lot of maps get wound up in just looking great, which I stopped caring about a long time ago. Even if the interlocking doesn't look great, its smooth in game. I stopped caring about asthstetics (I don't even know how to spell it) a long time ago. The map has a very interesting layout. Side Note: Not taking a shot at you at all there, I actually like all your maps and had a great game on reflex yesterday. Yeah definitely go ahead and smooth it out, the map is more of a community project than any one person's creation. Just keep it non-budget glitched.
Sounds interesting, it would be great to meet someone from Final Boss, but since its a competitive map he wants, Shocks got me beat.
Absolutely. I'm really happy to see those guys come together as a community and pool talents to create something like this. I'll keep it as I found it; just minor adjustments. One of my specialties is spawns, so I've already noticed a couple of spots that can benefit from adjustment.
Perhaps you may have noticed me in the discussion of Hangout over there If you head over to the MLG forums we're also working on a new design I made called Mecro. There's actually a working model (though it's very "beta") right now. Y'all should check it out.
Seen it and looking forward to playing it. I finally registered over there today so I can give feedback on maps and stuff.
I did see that, and it looks equally cool. It makes me want to get better at sketchup, lol. I already DL'd the version that SGT_CHAOTIC posted, and I'll check it out when I get home.
Sketchup is useful indeed. I'll be interested to hear your opinions on this community map, sounds like it may arrive at something rather good. I posted my 'ad' I suppose, we'll see if I'm who he wants. Hope so.
If he's heard of you or Forge Hub, he should be scampering to get your help then, Shock. Unless he's seen Ball Pit. Or the Puzzle Pack. =P
