    All the maps are lazy studios but yeah I agree. Some sort of delay should be added, similar to with updates. The problem comes if people are new to the site or something and have a lot of maps to upload. However I think it would still be good to not allow them to upload them all at once. This encourages them to spend more time on the map post. Also I agree the map post template could be improved but there's no way to really force people to post screenshots without forge meters. Perhaps a pinned thread explaining map posting guidelines. Everyone could've handled this whole situation a bit better.

    This sounds about right. In my conclusion thus far, all the maps that have gotten worse appear to be all inside maps, or maps that are darker from shadows.

    I think there should be a 3 screenshot requirement for a map post. I'm so sick of clicking on a map and all I see is the map thumbnail but blurrier. At least give me two other blurry images to look at!

    Also, if the requirement was implemented, you could disable it during contests since a lot of people like to post several maps last minute.

    5 minimum screenshots, as it's the max for map files on halo 5 itself

    at least 3 would be okay to me... someone (I think it was @purely fat suggested we have a requirement for an overhead shot, but my issue wit hthat is it requires a lot more skill and familiarity for newer posters. Removing roofs, (why isn't it "rooves" you stupid language!?!?!) and then going through and marking all the areas... it's nice to see and will get your map taken more seriuosly, but I don't feel that needs to be a requirement, personally.

    Map post quality is pretty representative of the map itself. If they make a shitty map post it just saves me the time of not looking at the map. They are doing you a service.

    I never officially finished this map, but Brusky made a video for it because he thought it was one of my 1v1 submissions. I'll just post it here in case anyone wants to see what it looked like. It's meant for 4-8 players so gameplay in the video is pretty slow.

    Baking lighting has always caused performance to drop.

    Well it was purelys feedback so that might be a wise decision since he is a troll and clearly wanted people to escape optic prison with all 4 power ups to complete the Easter egg

    I’ve said too much...

    I don't think that has anything to do with lights I just think the performance across the board has gotten worse

    but his and my point (appears to be) that, because the drops were there before, we do not know whether pre-baking, it was closer to the breaking point than it was prior to the update. We don't know if more load is placed by the lighting just becaues the drops after baking are worse. it could have also started out worse.

    As a general rule, people should reduce overlapping lights wherever possible (without making it look bad again)
