This @WARHOLIC three of those maps haven't been updated in over a year, and i thought your map was an exterm map where controlling player respawns isn't much of a concern? There aren't that many new 2v2 maps out there.
Since the round will end at 11 kills anyway, just make it the first 11 coolest kills like Bonus Battle from Smash Bros. Boring kills don't count towards the score, so nobody would use their AR
Arcanum I'd have to sit down and fix frame rate, which is possible. Cobalt Hazard and Purple Reign are all way too similar, and much better maps exist. Cobalt is the only one of those that doesn't have balance issues, and I think we have much better options than that. nemesis is an exterm map? I wouldn't even 1v1 on the map its too small. Legion for aggro gameplay if I reforged. High Guard with a different weapon set is a great standard. Storm Peaks for hard pushes and punishing noobs. Box CE is another great standard if he finishes art. I can find a few more later.
Too bad Once Upon A Time will have framedrops. Don't know how it'd translate to a "tourney" setting anyway. No I'm not finishing Blade Runner @Dweeb
If you're serious @WARHOLIC , we should definitely find other maps. There's a lot of stuff out there. Like Gridwalk ftw
Hey thanks for weighing in everyone, lets keep the discussion going. I agree that some of these maps are old but they've been tried and tested and I wanted to host this tournament relatively soon since I want to stress test the platform its being hosted on. In case you guys aren't aware, I've been developing a tournament platform called www.battlepro.com. If this tournament actually goes through without any major hitches then expect to see tournaments accompanying every Forge contest moving forward. @SaltyKoala I would love to host a forge contest and follow it up with a tournament, been meaning to do that for ages now. Unfortunately since we're in Halo drought, we're not convinced that the population is large enough to warrant any forge contests right now. We'll continue forge contests in a huge way when Halo 6 launches, more frequent as well. As for the tournament, a forge contest would take months to complete and I want to test BattlePro's platform sooner than later since we just started development again. Would love to have it fully integrated into ForgeHub in the future but that will take time. This tournament will christen BattlePro and mark ForgeHub's first tourney since 2012 but at the same time, I want it to be low key just in case the software goes up in flames @MultiLockOn If you can update Arcanum that would be great! Wasn't aware of performance issues. @Xandrith Storm Peaks is a great map but I found it a bit too big for 2v2's. I like things a bit faster but maybe some variety in pace would be nice to have in the lineup. If you can update this one, we'll use it! I agree, Cobalt doesn't measure up visually with whats out now so we'll just pass on that. Great layout though! As for Purple Reign, I really liked that one and think its a really sharp design. Spoke to Lethul during NA finals last year and he said that Purple Reign was his favorite map from the entire playlist and that all of the other maps were "trash". To each their own
Yo, add Tlaloc. I know I haven't published it (because I don't want to), but I think that it'd play well for 2v2.
Add Talolic? What does that word even mean? share an image or vid, if it meets our standards I'll check it out.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tlaloc Here's 4 screenshots. The map was made way back in spring of last year, but it could hold up. If it's ****, just tell me.
I WANT MY MAP ON THAT LIST I SWEAR ITS PLAYABLE also @MultiLockOn I really do want to hear your feedback, you gonna be on later today?
Absolutely! However I probably won't wait for you to finish your map. I know you...and you're hard to predict with completion . That said, don't give your hopes up because there will be a lot more opportunities for us to consider your maps in the future. If the platform actually works and there aren't any huge bugs I promise to host a lot more tournaments leading up to Halo 6. This first 2v2 will be a test and we can get into 4v4, 8v8, Grifball and mini-game tournaments in the near future.
