GENESIS V1 (WIP) By MadMax GT: CaveatEmptor MM Slayer - King of the Hill - Capture the Flag – Oddball – One Bomb - Ricochet First Off Hey Guys, nice to see Forgehub is back, it was always my Go-to website for awesome Community Creations and high Standard Forge Maps. As i am on a hectic schedule right now i havent got the time to forge, but lately since the „Resurrection“ of this site im infused with new creativity and i want to commit sth. to the sucsses of Forge. So i would like to introduce you to GENESIS my first WIP in Halo 2A. The map itself is still in Beta Stage but i’m very happy with the layout and the general atmosphere. I’ve already tried to test it with some random players, but i think it will need proper testing from people who actually understand whats making a good map. I still have the feeling that i can improve on that first version. So i need your help to eliminate eventual issues and give it a final Polish. So let me hear your Feedback, .....all of it Description Genesis was designed as an symmetrical 4v4 map and is inspired by The Pit. I’ve put a strong emphasis on controlling important Lines of Sight and using Tactical Jumps to your advantage. To succsesfully do that Setups and teamwork is very much needed. I highly think it will play great in Objective Gamemodes. Inital Ordnance: · Rocket Launcher - 180s Rockets are spawning at Bottom Mid. Both Teams can see him at the beginning of a match · 2x Sniper Rifle - 180s One Sniper Rifle spawning at each Base · Active Camo - 120s The Active Camo spawns in the Lift Room. Players spawning in their Basement, could easily grab it giving them an chance to break Map-control. · Shotgun - 90s Shotgun spawns at the flanking/sneaky Route. As this is a more enclosed Area the Shotgun has an advantage here. Screenshots Videos: Go to xboxclips.com and type CaveatEmptor MM for more ! Summary Overall im very proud of this map, Especially that i’ve managed to forge somthing simple yet complex. I really enjoyed forging it. What remains to be done is, that i need to find players to test the map. I’ve got plenty of Budget left, so im able to make further additions. As im from Germany it would be nice to get an EU lobby Map is in my Fileshare, Feel free to Add me. Enjoy you stay and give me feedback ! Happy New Year ! MadMax
Layout and overall aesthetic looks nice. I'll have to give this a look for sure. Have you noticed any framerate issues especially across long lines of sight? I noticed you used many complex objects and this can tend to cause that.
At least not in my playtests. But i wasn't able to test it with more than 4 Players yet. Also havent tested splitscreen yet. If you give this a closer look, you could give me feedback on the flanking routes. Players tend to avoid them because they feel like "Dead Canyons". I'm not sure what i can do about that
