Meet Custom Gamers, Forgers, and Get Recognized!
This is a forum for custom gamers and forgers alike.
To go in depth, the main points are:
1. To meet custom gamers. Everyone loves to play a custom map with sixteen people. However, the problem is finding these people. Here is where you should post your gamertag so other custom gamers can find you and friend you. You would like to play a new map you found or created, but no one will play with you. That's what this forum is for.
My experience: I rarely play custom games due to lack of interest among my friends. I want to play lots of custom games on the maps I want to play on, and that is the point of this here forum. Meet people who like to experiment on other's maps and gametypes, as well as send feedback.
2. To advertise your maps. First of all, no trolls and no spamming. People will see your maps, but just explain it on your post. I want people to recognize lots of good maps out there and I want their creators to play it with lots of people. The best way to play Halo is to mix forgers and custom gamers together, as well as lot of players. This way, everyone has a good time and everyone gets noticed. I don't ever play my forged maps, because no one plays and no one knows about them.
My experience: People will play a type of map for a long long time without trying anyone else's. I want people to experiment with other's maps and the creators to play their own maps. This rarely happens to intense forgers such as myself.
3. Learn. Get tips from forgers. Learn from other's advertising mistakes and experiences. Get yourself noticed by learning from other's mistakes.
If you want to post, say your gamertag and BE A CUSTOM GAMER!!! DON'T JUST GET RANDOM FRIENDS!!!
If you want to advertise your maps, say it's name, maybe a link, and definitly explain it.
To start out, here is a link to my [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileShare.aspx?player=Sporro55]file share.[/url]
My main map is Mothership Zephyr V2.
It's intended for objective gametypes, and works for almost all of them. Layout: A spaceship faces a spacestation. each side has equipment and vehicles as well as lifts to each other. 8-12 players.
That is an optimal advertising post.
Anyways, get noticed! Don't be afraid to post your stuff, and let's get to some custom games!

Hey guys my GT is the same as my user. I've been working on a few games and when I'm finally done it'd be nice to get some people to try them with me. One is a very different infection mode and the other is kind of like a game show esque obstacle course kind of like dog eat dog
-
Not much space on my friends list but my gt is JOSH S 95 :)
-
I've found a bunch of people wondering how to make certain gametypes. Check out Forge 101 on YouTube, both of them are good since there are two sets of them.
-
Anyone up for some customs? I've got a gazillion saved forgetacular entries and things of that sort going to waste here waiting to be played on.
-
If you want people to play your map, I would recommend a flythrough on your file share. Then people would know what the map is like without downloading it and looking around in forge. This prevents me from downloading some maps myself. Right now I am working on one for Mothership Zephyr V2.

This brings back memories of hilarious Halo 3 gametypes... Clog on Toilet Smear the -blam!- Jenga Happy Fun Time (I invented that one - needlers, swords, stickies, infinite ammo) That one where you had to dodge stuff (boxes, explosives, etc)... And those gametypes with random weapon starts and modded instant respawn times...
