    - I was suspicious that there weren't any major changes recommended for this last week; normally turning my maps from **** to enjoyable is a long, painful process. So I threw it at Duke's lobby as well and they thought there were some pretty serious problems with it. I've made some changes to attempt to fix it, including removing some cover and adding a Damage Boost. I also noticed the BRs weren't getting much play, so I swapped their locations with the SMGs, which should also make it harder to camp the bottom overhangs with SMGs.

    - Much the same as last week, but now the Whispered Truths are Tactical Magnums and it's harder to get out of the map.
    Worth noting that the initial addition of Whispered Truths was a mistake, not deliberately adding a crazy OP weapon just to be wacky. I didn't realize Whispered Truth gave a speed boost and was expecting them to play pretty much like BRs. "Let's add a boosted magnum as an alternative ranged weapon", not "let's add two of an absurdly powerful weapon and expect it to play well".

    edit: added the URLs I forgot

    Hey man, it's been a while. Would you mind throwing these in for a test this week? These days I have a conflict every Friday so I still won't be able to attend, but I'll watch the stream after the fact. Thanks a bunch.

    Gamertag: Pat Sounds
    Map: Helheim
    Gametype: Extermination
    Players: 4v4
    Notes: I'm open to any feedback, although the main thing I'm struggling with is finding the right power weapon. I'd like to keep the weapons forerunner themed if possible, but am open to any suggestions the lobby has.

    Map: Tosche Station
    Gametype: Extermination
    Players: 4v4
    Notes: Don't forget the power converters!

    I saw your feedback and I wanted to watch the Twitch vid to see if there was anything else, but for some reason the stream VODs don't exist anymore. Maybe a bug with Twitch?

    Yeah, earlier the VOD was on his Twitch, but it wouldn't load for me and it said it was over 24 hours long.

    This week's changes were pretty quick. Also as for the not joining the part problem I experienced, I'm not sure exactly what it was but hopefully it will work better this week.
    - Removed all modern covenant themed parts and replaced with natural or sangheili alternatives.
    - This helped to greatly reduce object count and hopefully will improve frame rate when looking over the map.​
    - Smoothed the terrain in the middle as much as i could without impacting the run to the beam rifle.
    - Changed the respawn on active camo back to 120 to appease Max.....and also follow matchmaking standards
    - Object count now at 1318, Fx at 84, and Lighting at 76

    • GamerTag: L1MN0DR0MUS
    • Map: Devout
    • Gametype: BTB CTF, BTB Slayer, BTB Strongholds
    • Player Count: 16
    • Description: This ancient Sangheili temple was built to worship the Forerunner relic it houses, but is now used by the Swords for combat training.

    Update!
    Some of you may have noticed that last weeks Forged Friday did not get posted to twitch. I am unsure currently why this is the case but if I where to venture a guess, it is an error on the side of Twitch. I am sorry if you can not watch the broadcast from the 17th. As a result I will work on a solution so that I am less reliant on twitch to have play backs.

    I assume you're going to upload the VODs to Youtube?
