    I would personally love to see a non-DLC forging contest, taking a trip back to the roots of forge. It is hard to change the overall look and gameplay of a map without all these new forge techniques, but back then, almost any idea, was a new one. This contest would push for creativity in an area no longer explored. You get my endorsement.

    Okay everyone, I need yall's opinion. Would a week be enough time to make a map? or do you think you would need more time?

    I think that would be fine. It shouldn't be too hard to make, but it may require a bit of testing.

    For non-DLC, yes, since you don't have to worry about merging, interlocking etc.

    Hm... Okay. Look out guys. An official thread will appear tonight (hopefully.)
    Look for official details then. I'm going to be judging these by myself unless I get a few volunteers...

    I think I can get some senior + members of the Testers Guild more than willing to help Judge. I would, but I actually want to try this out XD

    Sweet, can't wait till tonight. Also, you should ask a mod to put this in the stickies when you make the contest.

    Lol, it means that it is always on the first page of whatever section you post it on, and does not move from the top of that page.

    hopefully, yes. If this one is a success, then the next one will follow shortly thereafter.

    I'm making my map as I type, but you should PM a mod and ask this to get stickied so people will notice it. And put a link to the submission thread in this thread.

    ok, i have a map nearly done on last resort - fairly standerd in terms of origininality but hopefully playability will boost up points. After all, its tm slayer so it aint going to be all that original in sense of making sure playability works out and in a fair way.

    Its really hard after being used to the usuals like geo-merging and floating objects

    Are we allowed to use custom team slayer varients like with BR start or just team snipers or does it have to be normal team slayer?

    I pmmed Tex about it, but he refused seeing as there is already a large amount of stickies. And there is a link to the submission thread on the first post in this thread.


    Okay, can't wait.

    The theme for this week's contest is Team Slayer. That means the map should be built for a Team Slayer Gametype. Go ahead and make variations if you want, it might even boost up your originality points.

    i am really looking foward to seeing what people come up with i may post a small tips guide on pre dlc maps if people ask {pm me}
    Zanzibar{sound cooler than last resort and i love zomzibar} has some really intersting items i would like to see some make use of some of the more under used area like the beach and the rear corridor also i would like to see how the gate switch can be incorporated
    its a shame its not sticked but there are a lot if there were more contest i think it could warrant a sub forum

    oh and hpsauce{great name i can't eat sausages without it}i am pretty sure it will be moving maps and themes.there are a lot of maps to go through
