    Hello and welcome to ForgeHub just to let you know this not up to FH standards for a map. Someone will put a link up to show to properly post a map. It explains how to post maps properly and other expectations we have here. I hope to see the map once it is correctly posted.

    In order for this to be up to forgehub standards you need to have embed picks. To do this type haloscreenshots - Live Search and search your gamertag. Then find your pictures you want and clink to copy the link that says forgehub. Go into your post and paste the links and BAM. You've got picks.

    Should this be in Casual maps?

    yes, it probably should be moved there, but let's let the review take priority.
    It surely looks like a fun game variant, albeit quick. Some more information might be handy for this thread. For example, when one team gets killed, does the other automatically win the round? How many rounds are there also? Not to mention, some photos of you actually playing it will make it much more appealing for downloaders around the site.

    I like the idea, and nice screenshots. I'd ask an administrator to move this to the mini-game forum though. Competitive maps are usually the ones you would see in matchmaking. Welcome to ForgeHub!

    Moved to casual. If the OP wants me to move it to Mini-Games (via a PM), I would be more than happy to oblige.

    Sounds like a simple yet fun idea. It's a bit random though, it might not work correctly, even if one player should win. I can see how it works though, but maybe some action pictures will clear up the confusion.

    This was kind of cool. Your game type is broken though. You have the weapons se to (No) in your variant. I fixed that and tried the map with a few friends. We actually had to stop the game and put the weapons to swords becasue the hammers were good for nothing. I also made the players run to only %50 speed. It was actually kind of fun for a few rounds. I want to make a remake with four teams! Have like a high speed cross section in the middle. In other words if you were to look down at it, it would be a plus sign. Again, fun idea. It could have been done a little better though. 3.5/5

    I will deff get some pictures of the game in action. Based on how the hammers attack when on a mongoose you have to do a bit of work to get the other team but it can be done easily once you get use to it. I shall get some screens hopefully today for yall ;)

    Edit: I will fix the problems with the variant.

    Also x DREAM 76 x it is very possible to use hammers you just have to get used to it me and my brothers can do it just fine which is why I will get some screenshots of how to do it!

    i was going to make a jousting map too, the map is a little sloppy, i was going to make that small line down the middle like real jousting so you don't run into each other, i don't know how it plays yet but i'll look into it

    It might be a cool idea to use sniper rifles instead of hammers, then it's more of an accuarcy skill than bashing while on a mongoose. Camping could be prevented by placing shield doors along the pathways. It's a cool concept, but I think it needs a little work.

    Well that i what jousting is is going towards each other with a weapon and meeting at the middle for the moment of truth! I think it would be cool to use swords as that was also one of the main weapons in jousting so I may change the game to use swords. The hammers take some hard to to get to work right and only people who know what to do can do it.

    Well if you use shield doors you can limit how far away players can shoot at one another with the sniper rifle. You could then apply the sword as a secondary weapon so that when you're "knocked off your horse" you switch to a melee battle. Just a thought.

    We had the idea to do snipers since we first played it and I think we will use snipers most deff now! Thanks for the idea! I am making version 2.0 which will have the following:

    Version 2.0(3.0 if you count when I first made it and didnt like the first design at all so remade it again :))
    - Map will be perfectly made(everything isnt perfect but we will do our best. So far it is coming along very very well!)
    - The bases will be higher in air with a ramp down to the playing field!
    - COMPLETLY REMADE SO IT LOOKS FAR BETTER!

    welcome to forgehub :). your idea is good, although i think iv'e seen a couple of jousting maps before. if i were you i'd put a small dividing barrier betwwen the jousters so they dont just try to ram eachother head on. Oh, and you may want to interlock that wall in your first screenshot, theres a thread in forging 101 in the forums if you dont know how to do it.

    Well you guys have to worry no longer well maybe for another day or 2 :) I am completely remaking the map from top to bottom and so far all the things you guys have noticed have been thought about while remaking it and we are making sure the map is straight as possible etc
