    Protect the fortress and what ever cost


    I built this map in 4 days and i was my first map on halo after i started messing around with forge

    Tell me what you think and what i could to better but critisism is much needed.

    Main fortress

    Location of sniper box

    Sniper Box

    [​IMG]

    Zombie spawn point

    Note: To make it somewhat fair the sender node is linked to several teleporters around the map so it is random

    Weapons and Equipment area

    Download Fortify

    I did make a little variant for it but theres not much difference except everyone has 10 lives and theres a 10 minute time limit

    Download Defence

    So tell me what you think and i'll take it into action for other maps i make

    armories=not good. not good at all. it portrays ur map as something that u didn't plan and just threw weapons down. did u test it? if so. was having 30 swords and every grenade u can put in the map a good way to play?

    Well, just a fort, kind of sloppy, and NEVER HAVE AN ARMORY. Other than that, this map isn't to bad. 3.5/5.

    please never make an armory again, and the base looks like more of a teleporter holder to different locations, maybe try to turn it into a better base, if thats what you were going for. anyways, 3/5

    Well, for a first map, building a fort and an armory for an infection game is expected. I think that we have all done this within our first few days for Foundry. heck, i think my first map for infection was a three story fort with a little armory at the bottom that you had to get down to if you ran out of ammo.
    Anyways, back on topic, you have entered a world of many well-to-know forgers as well as many absolute experts on the ways of forge. Now we don't expect you to be good overnight, but please explore the forums and find out some forge techniques. Look at maps and find which kind appeal to people, and then apply what you have learned into your own map.
    Anyways, keep forging, I'm glad you found this website.

    Love,

    The building looks really good, but like everyone else said, the armory is kinda bad. 3/5. I will DL though.

    I really like the idea of this map. however it is what is in it taht makes it worse. Its alright I do this all the time.
    I suggest that you dont have all the weapons and equipment, because It will be WAY to easy to kill, you want it to be a challenge to both teams on staying a live othervise it gets boring and people quit.
    If you want you can make a v2 and make the weapons more suitable. Nice map 3/5.

    To me this is a typical Xbox Live map. The humans will camp in the one room with limitless weapons and grenades and just blast the Zombies away with the turrets. I'm not just gonna say "omg your map suckz!" because it's better than a lot of the ones I see on Live. Next time: original idea, no armoury, no more forts. But for a first map, it's really good. And read some Forging 101 tips! ;)

    yeah i going to give you the same thing I say to all new time forgers
    NO ARMORIES !!!!1!!!1!1111!!!! especially the one with the flame thrower and incendiary grenades, never make a dead end with weapons! I can just chuck incendiary grenades at the only entrance and flame it while i have a power drainer going so unless the zombies are super strong i wouldnt try armories unless they are very very small

    this map just looks like its one of those where the zombies get wasted and the humans just camp with super awesome weapons. also the house needs more to it, if its gonna be small, at least make it look like a house. 2.5/5

    Some Constructive Criticism:

    1) Don't build weapon bases. Someone can easily just pick up a shotgun, go to the sniper thing and camp at the teleporter killing zombies as they come through.

    2) Make it bigger. There is loads of open space. Ditch the vehicles and extend the building.

    3) Make it hard for the humans. This speaks for itself.
