Okay at some point earlier today this idea popped into my head. I'm gonna have a hard time putting this into words but basically I want to create a testing group to test out things (maps, gametypes, altered weapon variants etc.) in MLG setting to see how they would work. For starters there are a lot of good maps that come from the MLG forums that seem to be primarily only tested in 2 v 2. I would love to run 4v4s on a lot of these in order to offer good feedback but also to just enjoy playing the maps. I also have a second purpose besides just testing possible MLG foundry maps. The other purpose is to take existing MLG maps and test out things that could potentially work well with the settings. A few examples: the use of plasma rifles as close range weapons (not a whole lot of testing done on this but a whole lot of talk), a damage amplifier powerup (again something heavily discussed which would give you 150% damage used to create a powerup that would speed up gameplay), pistols being used as a secondary weapon (again discussed frequently). This would overall be helpful to the halo community and be very fun at the same time, I figure if you'd want to do this you'd enjoy mlg games. One last thing. Another thing that would be interesting to see would be test out blackout and isolation (blackout is only sort of implemented in the settings right now, and iso used to be in the rotation) and run some games/ or try out different variants to find something that works well. Iso is actually a pretty good hill map. I would make this a group but those often go unnoticed so I'm hoping to find some interested people and then convert this into a group. I'm pretty sure TexasHorn/LastMohican and Supertrooper will be interested but the more people we get the better so we'll always have at least 8 on (hopefully) GO
You know I'm down for this Lightz, anything for MLG will interest me. I think we should do some tesing on Hangout, because it seems a bit crowded with more than 4 people and some of the spawns were terrible, I think it is a map that can be largely improved upon.
Yeah we should make that the first order of duty I think. That map has too much potential to be ruined by spawns. I think squidhands might be able to help us out with that. I'll try and get him for this.
Alright this isn't picking up steam quite like I hoped it would, so I'm just going to start out by posting Hangout in the map testing section, and going from there. PS (Mohican you were supposed to post here)
Yes, post in map testing, but we still need people to come here, as we will be testing other maps as well. 'Testing' will include MLG TS slayer on various MLG maps, so if you like to play MLG and are a decent player or good forger with good insight please join. If you are interested leave your GT and we will send you a friend request.
yes you can, as long as you do it someday after the 14th i'll do all the otehr stuff as well, i just won't be able to do anthing until the 14th cos i'm on teh vacationzorz
