    I am as some of you may know, a very fast forger. I average one map every day, if I am on. So I was wondering if I should keep posting my individually or put them in a couple map packs?
    I really need some opinions because I am working on a couple of maps that should be done in a day or two. I just started them today, BTW. And I would also like to know if I should wait a while to post them, or post them straight away?

    Thanks.

    Firstly, even if you are a fast forger, you should take a lot more time to make maps. Slow down, spend some time making sure everything is perfect, every wall is straight, every surface is even, etc. Dont rush.
    Secondly, If you have a map ready to post, then post it!

    Oh don't you worry about that. I make sure everyhting is perfect, that needs to be perfect. If it some wall that won't be involved in the gameplay then I don;t take time to interlock it or make it perfect. Anyways, do single maps or multiple maps in a map pack get more attention? Like would anyone notice all of my maps if I posted a map pack?

    WHOA. Wait, slow down. I'd like to watch you forge sometime, and see if you really are that fast. Quality over quantity, my friend. People would rather see 1 amazinnngggg map then 10 crappy ones. So if you can make 1 amazing map really fast I would love to see. Just spectate for a couple minutes and see how well you do. I wouldnt touch anything, promise.

    Thats fine.. I just finished the basic layout of my new map "Enolize" a moment ago. I still have to add some more aesthetics, weapons, and spawns, and mess with the gametypes. Other than that it is almost ready for testing... If I could understand how to effectively place weapons I would be really close to my finished product. Anyways, if you are on add me and I will show it to you. I started it at 8 PM today and took a two hour break and now it is 12:30 and I am where I said I was.

    Post your maps individually, then when you're ready, post them in a map pack.
    TIPS:
    Try to have a similar style maps in the pack.
    Try to have the same gametypes cross over to all the maps. IE "Conquest map pack"

    I would release them as a Map Pack if I were you, I find it alot easier than alot of threads.

    He is trying to decide if he should post his maps individually or save them up and post them in a map pack.

    W-what? I can't understand you. If you could type correct sentances that would help.
