    i know this whole site is about forge and i'm a fledging forger. so question with so many maps why do people only post screen shots. so far there have only been a few maps which i've seen i would download.(so few i mean alot) so why dont people post video's of thier maps in play over youtube or veoh. i was just wondering since that may cause me to download a map more

    Videos aren't accessible to everyone, as you have to upload it to youtube, after editing the content, after capturing it on a 50$+ capture card, and before you do all that, you have to be able to understand all of the above (not the words, just the actual stuff you have to do).

    Though, I have to agree, video presentations are excellent, which is why I actually got a capture card, and have presented my maps on youtube.

    Yeah, I really wish people had the ability to put up videos. It gives such a better look at the maps. Since I don't have a 360 to download them, and the friend I play with most rarely downloads things, videos show him alot more to make him download.

    because vids are a pain in the ass to

    a.have the equipment and skill to make

    b.cost money to get the stuff

    c.are hard to do well in the first place

    d.many may not think their map even warrants a video

    e.some dont have the time,many people forge for only an hour or so a day due to work/sleep/feeding their gecko and as such cant make a video,preparing a decent map post is the work of 20 minutes or so of uploading and typing.A decent vid i imagine would take much longer

    Alas if only cap. cards came as standard with comps but they dont
