So after not forging for many months I have decided to make a MLG map. What I would like to hear from the community is what is something you haven't seen before or would like to see in a MLG map that would make you want to download it. All suggestions will be appreciated and please don't post unless it actually has something to do with this topic.
Make it asymmetrical, make it actually MLG, not with non-MLG weapons. Oh, and don't make it on Foundry. =]
Lol, I don't think there is a way to make a asymetric MLG map NOT on foundry. But yes, assymetricl, that would get you kudos there, but I don't know. MLG is about teamwork, and if you make an assymetricl map, well then it will be dedicated to team slayer (like guardian). In fact, I suggest you look into guardian for inspiration.
How about Blackout or Avalache? As in making maps that you can fall off to your death on. Like build it outside of Blackout. If you do that though you would have to color code the boxes for the teams. Which would be good for callouts.
Outside of Blackout would not be considered MLG qualified and Avalanche is WAY too big. The only maps that might have a shot at MLG are Foundry, Ghost Town, Cold Storage, and Isolation
By Avalanche I mean floating above the actual level. How is outside of Blackout not MLG qualified? Oh and don't make a MLG map on Cold Storage. WAY too many of those.
Everyone wants an asymmetrical map, but deep in their hearts they only want an amazing Oddball map. Admit it guys, symmetrical maps are good for all gametypes except Oddball and Oddball was built for asymmetrical maps so build us a great Oddball map. I mean just look at the current MLG maps. The only Oddball map is Guardian and they were going to use Blackout but because it failed so hard they decided to ditch it and stick with Guardian. The two Foundry maps, (symmetrical) Narrows (symmetrical) The Pit (Symmetrical), and Construct (pretty darn close to being symmetrical) are used for Slayer, CTF (Multi-flag) and King of the Hill. In hindsight, build me an asymmetric MLG map for a custom gametype of One-Flag CTF (and Oddball because it is the greatest)
Only maps on foundry that are asymetrical that only have either BR or carbines actually qualfy as MLG maps. But evan though it is not perfectly MLG, I think a map in the man cannon cave on Avalanche would be cool that hasn't been done before. If you chose to make a map on foundry my suggestion would be to have as much spectacular geogltching as possable. That is how Amplified stood out. Also don't overcrowd MLG maps. That makes them have horrible gameplay and it is just an easy way to make your map basically suck. Just make sweet structures, have perfect geoglitching and interlocking and dont overcrowd the map. For Avalanche maps make the taller mancannon on the right side and the other on the left than the map could still be symetrical. I have a friend on the MLG proforge team (my older brothers friend) that knows all the requirements. He gets pissed when somebody reveals his gamertag because a bunch of people from MLG.com send him friend requests. If you add me I can tell you all the requirements. Good luck!
