excellent. (Mr. Burns Voice)

So, what's the reasoning behind 2 frags? Sounds like 1 too many for a 1v1 game. And albeit a minor issue, it also creates somewhat of a creative limitation in terms of forgers placing nades around the map. For instance, a plasma nade would fit really well in a certain area of my map, but I'm hesitant to even place any nades simply because players already have so many.

The difference between 1/2 nades is zero, if any. Any decent 1 v 1 settings have generally had 2 nade starts. Always good to empower the individual

Stupid question, but if I upload my map to here, can I always make changes to the map? Or once I post it, is it finished?

you can make changes up untill the deadline but if you're likely to make changes then post it as a WIP under forge discussion first until it's ready then post it to the map database with the smackdown tag.

Out of curiosity, who are the judges? If you want it kept on the DL, that's fine.

me! too cuz i met some guys who said they were, but i don't quite believe them.

good question and don't think we have this actually set in stone, i've just been assuming that all staff will be judges or can chime in and we're giving none-staff priority for prize winning.

The BE staff.

brb gonna go make 1v1 midship.

fixed that for you

$500 bones? dafuq FH get moneys from? When I was your age all we gave out was.. ****, I honestly can't remember? Probly just the assurance you wouldn't get bant.

I think its a fair question to ask, should we label each initial spawn with "Red" or "Blue"? or leave them nuetral in an effort to keep them randomized?

So I found out about this contest like.. 5 days before the deadline and have been working hard to come up with some great 1v1 maps.
Would it be okay if I enter more than 1 map in this contest?
(Would I be penalized in any kind of way for submitting 3+ maps?)

Hey Lyle, glad you were able to catch word on this contest...even if it is last minute. Please submit as many maps as you want. Just know that we're judging for quality over quantity...

How the hell do I share Screenshots or Videos!
I'm going to not be able to enter if I don't figure this out!

For videos, you simply save an xbox clip of a walkthrough and link it from xboxclips.com (then searching your gamertag). I can tell you how to do that if you need to know.

The only I've done screenshots was by taking pictures with my ipod touch and sending them to my computer, upload them to somewhere like photobucket or imageshack, then link/embed them from there. But one way I'm pretty sure is you can screencap certain parts of your xbox clip (my laptop has "prnt Scrn" on the top right, for some reference) and save them to your PC, then upload them.

Let me know if you need anymore help, or else someone else should chime in here. I personally wonder if we can take screencaps while in full-screen and capture exactly that? That will be helpful for myself.

I'll try that first thing, and I figured I'd watch my clips on Smart Glass and just Screen capture and use those images

So.. will the Banner Image count as the 7th image?
Cause I already submit my maps.

The banner image and the 'thumbnail' image do not count towards the 9 maximum image slots available for your map.

Also, please put your leaderboard information or your gamer tag in the description of your map so we know where to find you for downloading it later.
