    The MLG one is pretty much the same as the normal overshield. But instead it has one extra layer of shield. So placing it in the same spot as you would the OS will do the trick

    Pretty much, for MLG's CP all I'll need to do is like one sentence on it.
    "The CP for MLG follows the same rules as the regular Oversheild except that you must have its respawn rate set to 120, otherwise it is not an MLG map."

    yup pretty much.
    if your going to do them all, you may as well do one for MLG weapons. But do it right at the end.

    As I said before, this will hopefully keep forgers from mindlessly slapping weapons down, without any thinking at all. I used to put snipers in the higher levels on my maps with a lot of cover, but then I noticed snipers are a lot more balanced when you have to move to get to a good vantage point.

    Your last guide should be Aesthetic/theme placing, to get it where it looks good and plays well.

    That's the main aim of these, to benefit the less experienced forgers or the ones that just arent good with weapon placement.

    Man, I can't +rep you cause I've already done it lately.

    These are so helpful, weapon placement is really hard to get right. These will help me so much. Great job!

    Thanks, those kind of comments give me happy.
    As stated previously I'm doing these to help the community and to rid forgehub of sloppy weapon placement.

    The weapons I probably wont do will be the Sentinel Beam and Fuel Rod Gun, I have no experience with them. But perhaps once I'm done with the others I may have had some experience with them.

    Thanks so much for posting this, because i always thought a sniper rifle should be at the sniper point, thanks for the help.

    Thanks! That has actually really helped. I would feel reluctent about believing you, if it were not for the fact that you had proof of your theory. Thanks ^_^
