    What I'm going to discuss is not to have multiple energy weapons like Beam Rifle, Sword and Hammer on your map. Because of overlapping. You can have 2 shotguns because if you kill the other shotty holder, you'll take his ammo. You kill the other sword carrier, his will just lay there.

    Yeah, I know.
    I just thought that was sort of obvious, but I guess you have to cover everything to make it a guide, eh?

    Quiet you.
    What I meant by that top quote was to place it on a corridor in full view, no cover, no escape
    But otherwise, Mallet, what'd you think of it.

    I only really know stuff about MLG weapons and there placements this guide has helped me decide what weapon i should use on my map I am making at the moment. So im going to have to wait for the melee weapons as well.

    ok, some stuff for sniper guide (just to make me feel important):

    in foundry MLG maps NEVER place a sniper, unless you have a degree in architecture and cartography, you'll basically kill the map. amplified an onslaught both are missing the sniiper and are both official MLG maps.

    never place snipers in high positions (duhh).

    and possibly the smartest most valid point, (which i ripped from a senior member, can't remember who, might've been lights) if you're placing equipment on your map, don't place a regenerator near your sniper, that would make it waaaaaaaaaaay too powerful, if you need equipment, place a bubble shield, that stops the sniper from shooting whilst his shield recharges, so it is both a negative and positive effect.

    REP *****!!!

    also, after snipers, you should do a flamethrower/turret combo, i've seen sooooooooo many people screw that one up.

    After Snipers will be Melee Weapons, then I suppose I'll do 3rd person weapons after.

    So far there's snipers and shotgun.
    You can expect Melee Weapons to be next. Probably within the next few days.
