all of my friends that i've shown maps to think that they are decent and well bulit maps but i dont know how to get my maps well known to other halo players.
Have you posted them on here yet? If not, I can tell you how to get your pictures up and everthing ready for people to look at and download. But first I have to know if that is the case or not.
Best advice I can give you is to make the map look good. Don't take pictures of your map that you think give the members of this forum an accurate idea of what your map layout is like. Instead, take pictures that show off some difficult geomerging or a pretty structure you built. Then, take pictures of the same structure from another angle. Really drill that most impressive piece into the heads of whoever is reading your post, and that piece is what they will judge your map by. Not really a good way to show the gameplay of your map, but the human brain being what it is, you've got to use some marketing techniques.
