Frontline Arena was created shortly after the new map pack Noble came out and it was the only reason to play reach again as I'd been absorbed by other games (Fallout 3, Mass Effect 2, etc.) and so I started a map. At first it was a slow process, figuring out the controls again but after I got the hang of it I got the bases and the middle finished. Months later I came back to it and placed the extra stuff, like the teleporters and the round buildings. A few more months went by and I actually got around to adding the weapons and aesthetics. I have identified it as a small symmetrically mirrored map for team based games (Team Slayer, Assault, CtF). Here are some pictures: FFA Spawn View Team base Second part to team base Spiker, Plasma Repeater and Teleporter Spawns Middle Structure Rocket Launcher Spawn Middle Structure Side View Pistol Spawn Grenade Launcher spawn (1 extra clip) Gravity Hammer spawn Epic Recon Spoiler [mouseoverimage=http://i322.photobucket.com/albums/nn437/WMJProductions/Not_A_Good_Idea2.jpg]http://i322.photobucket.com/albums/nn437/WMJProductions/Not_A_Good_Idea1.jpg[/mouseoverimage] Not a good idea. (Mouse over) I hope whoever plays this has fun. NOTE: Don't forget to give feedback on spawns, weapon spawns, layout, and other stuff that bugs you!
I'm glad that you are back to forging. Negative I don't like the large amount of buildings that you have on your map. It takes no skill to throw prefab buildings around the map. Don't get me wrong, some great maps use prefab buildings. However, they use them in creative ways. If you are going to use them, make sure that the placement is thoughtful and original. Positive The center structure is very intriguing. It really stands out from the rest of your map.
Your map shows promise and has a interesting design, I myself would enjoy seeing you attempt making some buildings or structures of your own even if it takes a little more time and patience. I especially like the center structure and how its sort of like a trench between each base its very unique and I think if you improve on the maps design and go out of the box a little you could have a real treasure. Im glad youve decided to start forging again its nice to see more people come into the forging world . If you need any advice or help with designing or such just send me a message id be glad to give you a assist if needed. Just play around with some structures a bit take some looks at some of the maps posted on here as they give a good idea of building unique structures human, forerunner, covenant alike.
Thanks, I'll make sure I keep you around. Actually if you would download and add changes and show me later I could start off from there.
