Whatever...your loss. @Soldat Du Christ @MultiLockOn @Blaze Which one of you want to split my prize money?
Deleting/changing/moving weapons or spawns is the dumbest **** I've read all week. I can't believe this is even a debate. Once a map is submitted that is the authors final draft. What if a design was created around a certain weapon set or power ups? And multi thinks it plays like **** so he switches it with a different weapon. But the entire point of the design was based around said weapon... Weapon placement and spawns are just as important as any other part of design. When movies are released, does the academy delete a scene they think wasn't needed so that movie could be nominated for an oscar? **** doesn't make any sense guys. I fully understand multis point. And I absolutely think he should help the map author with their weapon placement and spawns AFTER the competition if he thinks he could help improve. You are a judge, not an advisor.
Here's an idea I'd be okay with... For the contest, maps are judged as they're submitted (judges are not allowed to change weapons, spawns, or anything else. After the contest and the results have been wrapped up, judges can test and consider alternate versions of the submitted maps for the tournament that I expect will follow. This way maps are judged without the judges having any impact upon how the maps play, but there's still a possibility of optimizing the tournament experience.
Ok, so, I'm designing a map based around a more stand-off with trench-like natural structures and little to no man-made structures. I'll make the weapon set very close-range oriented so that beyond RRR magnum engagements that require aggressive pushes to take out the enemy with the power weapons. Quiet audio outside of wind and some dripping. Thoughts? Nah, I don't really care.
So hydra with the spit fire plasma pistol variant is a pretty fun power weapon. Useless at long range and doesn't drain shields all the way
My map is so broken I want to cry Literally spent two months on this thing and what do I get? A broken customs lobby where EVEN THOUGH THE GAMETYPE IS SET TO NO AR AND NO TRACKER YOU WILL STILL SPAWN WITH THEM, and some ****ing ponce hiding at the top of the map because AR is king and he can't be challenged because my geometry Is so Goddamn awkward
Good automatic 1v1 power-up: Song of Peace on SMG Benefits: -increases shots to kill to 18 -decreases magazine size to 48 -fires projectiles What's not to love?
I'm glad spranklz has convinced everyone that we would be changing weapon sets lol I said the most I'm willing to look at is just playing the map barebones or maybe deleting a spawn in the circumstance.
Power-up Idea: Void's Tear on BR Benefits: -projectile (great considering it's intended range) Detriments: -shield stripper within a burst (one less than normal BR) -greater margin of error for landing shots -Extremely powerful in point-blank range (burst-melee takes around .3s) -maximum kill-time with every shot hitting is less than normal BR -literally a better noob combo but all-in-one Conclusion: -why p.s. the auto I came up with doesn't inherent the auto-aim of the suppressor and is a 7-shot-melee
Maybe, I can't remember if you have xbl you'll have to test it out with me. --- Double Post Merged, Sep 14, 2017 --- The beauty of it is that it has almost no close range aim assist because of the hydra properties, so it's a lot harder to get that 1s1m kill
I didn't even read the title of the poll Spranklz set up but its written as if to imply we're going to be placing weapons on map which isn't true, dishonest at best. If anyone wants to actually talk about why not just I but all the judges were on board with the way wee wanted to run this contest that you can free to talk to us over Xbox Live instead of reading the jibberish people are posting here because just about everyone is missing the point. And yes, I mean to say you don't understand. And hey, I'm a man of the people so if anyone wants to make a convincing case after talking to me I'm all ears. I'm as tired of stupid judging as anyone else here and now that I know the judges have free reign on this I intend to make this contest the best yet. Just let me know when youre available and I'll talk to however many of you as I can.
It just says "changes." I heard talk of removing all weapons, and removing specific weapons. I believe NGA also talked about changing ammo counts and timers. These are all changes. I'm not sure if there were other suggestions or not. You could have made the poll if you would prefer to see it worded differently, but you never did, so I just went for it. If you want to discuss the topic, you're welcome to do so in the thread. I even enabled vote changing.
We've been talking in this thread but youre making an effort to misinterpret everything any of the judges say. If you want to make a case then do so over live over an actual conversation where we can speak more naturally, posting here all day isn't easy
