    Hey, I just joined like 5 minutes ago and I'm in the middle of making a new map. The name of the map is SpartanOlympics and is a collab of 6 events. The 1st Big event is soccer. The game should be played 4v4 but 3v3 and 2v2 also work, in this variant players have no shields but spawn instantly. It takes up just about all of the main space in foundry but is cut off by the next event, Mongoose Jousting. Here, two mongooses charge at each-other in a semi-narrow space with energy swords. The objective is to kill the opposing passenger. The next event is called the BeatBox. It is a room filled with interlacing shield doors that makes for fun 1v1 and 2v2 combat when using the assault rifle. The 4th event is the Ninja Pit. This is a four person FFA event where people start in opposing corners with energy swords and active camo. 5th event is sticky-nade dodge ball where two teams of 3 try to stick each other from opposite sides of the field. Last is the Progress Hallway. Teams start with BRs and allot of portable cover and bubble shields. The point of the game is to eliminate the other team, getting to the sniper rifle in the middle helps allot.

    My plan for actually playing the map is that the party leader is the only one that can edit and that person is the ref. This means only one event at a time.

    The ref's roles.

    Soccer: Make sure people that are not playing do not interrupt he game (spawn a bridge get them on and carry them to the other side of the wall).
    Keep Track of score.

    Mongoose Jousting: Disqualify any that try to kill off of a Mongoose.

    Ninja Pit: Prevent people from re-entering by killing them.

    BeatBox: Again, keep people from re-entering.

    Dodge Ball: Keep People from re-entering and disqualify those who step over the line.

    Progress Hallway: Keep People from re-entering.

    GAMETYPE:

    This game has to be played in Forge to have a ref. Make editor party leader only and also make the editor invincible.
    Set Primary Weapon as Assault Rifle, Secondary none.
    Put on Unlimited Ammo.
    Have game-type set as Team Slayer.

    This Map should turn out to be very fun with a group of players who actually want to play fairly and try to win the events the right way.

    My gamertag is: ALIENH0MINID

    General rule: People don't listen to referee's or follow honor rules :'( But nice concept.

    I don't care how good the game is. If it uses the honor system, kids will just join and screw things up, or mature halo players won't want to play it. Trust me, after an hour of some little kid screaming into his mic that I have to be over THERE and not HERE I just start to goof off. You also can't have a game where some people aren't playing. Everyone has to play or they'll quit. It's as simple as that.

    its illegal to advertise maps before they're actually finished. if i'm wrong please correct me.

    nice concept but honor rules are usually bad because people don't follow. most people on xbox love are dumb.

    DON'T POST UNLESS THE MAP IS FINISHED, i would really like to see this map, the problem is that it is not here, when you want to talk about map IDEAS, go to the appropriate forum.

    Unfinished maps belong in the "Forge Disscussion" forum, or the "Map Testing" sub forum if you want people to test it.

    Lol, I remeber reading this when it was in the other section and LONE didn't even notice. But I liked the intial idea, but as I thought about it I remebered all the crap I suffered through in the past with honor rules...
