    So for the last month or so I've been working on this map. Over the weekend though I realized, that this is taking way too long. I need somebody to help me finish it. I'm trying to go for a feature, so please, if you are new to the site, aren't very good at forging, or don't have any previous maps to show me your skill, do not even post. I am specifically looking for somebody who is good at spawn, weapon, and objective placement, and somebody that can merge, or interlock well. It would be great if somebody who already has a featured map and wants to get premium were to help. I only have about a quarter of the map done. It's planned to be completely enclosed with a roof. I'll draw out the map in a second here, but for now here are some pictures.

    Oh and most of the forging will take place next Friday, and Sunday. During the week I don't get home until 8:00 except on Friday when I get home at 4:00. Saturday I have a rowing regatta :p. I'm central time.

    Note the roof. It is not all the way around yet. It stops just above the first fence wall in the background.

    In the second picture's bottom right corner you see a open box that can be jumped into to lead you into the lower hallway inspired by Lockout's green room. In the background (partially behind the spartan), are fence walls that you can shoot at people on the stairs through.

    This room isn't blocked off yet. Don't know what to do with it. I have bridges and two double boxes, and about 6 or 8 single. Aesthetics would be nice.

    [​IMG]
    The room is also going to have a wall blocking it off on the dotted line. The only access point will be from the open box or fence wall stairway going down into it. The big X marks where a huge pillar made out of boxes is going to be. The fence walls will wrap around it. The arrow represents where more fence walls will be making a sniper tower similar to ivory tower's.

    I am currently working on an awesome map, but can't show you quite yet, I'm full of ideas!

    I specialize in tweaking layout, like adding cover where needed, and equaling defenders or attackers chances at being overpowering, including weapons, spawn, and extra, or taken away, cover

    Oh, I just posted this. It's not too late. I have till next Friday (Sept. 19) to decide anyway. There's no rush at all. I have not seen any of either sdrakulich or PJfan's work either.

    Ok, I think PJ is the only one that actually followed what I asked for, so could a mod please lock this thread?

    I know you told us to stop but I couldn't help but notice the bump between the fence wall/stairs and the floor (2nd last picture). Geomerging would eliminate the bump and make it look nicer :)

    Dude, I said in my PM that I don't get home until 8 during mon.- thurs. Friday I get home at 4. I guess we'll have to do Sunday. Don't write anything more on the thread because then people will start posting again, just send me PMs. If you don't know where that is, it should be in the top right corner of the page. Private messages.

    Well, I guess me and Pj's schedules just didn't mesh. I spent the whole weekend without forging with him. I guess i'm open again. Just post a link to a map you made and if you could post forge times, that'd be great. I would even be open to forging before the night's up.
