I think you should have an online game type which you can fly around in the space ships that is in the mission at the space station and instead of choosing classes you choose space ships [Edited on 11.13.2010 6:22 AM PST]

good article, really informative, nice to know i'm not the only one who draws his maps out on paper several times before even starting to forge. have to admit, the cage does frustrate me alot of the time, but i think it's more because of the people i'm playing than the map itself. Didn't realise however that it would in fact take several days to make a map like the cage, i usually take a few hours to make a map, however after that it is difficult to playtest because i never have enough people to test it properly with, which can become very frustrating at times. Also, was there not meant to be a copy and paste tool within forge mode? i watched the forgeworld viDoc before reach came out and i thought they mentioned it in there. If so, what happened to it? that would be a very very useful tool. there should also be an easier way of getting your maps noticed, like a bungie favourites type thing, but with more maps on

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] LeBlanc172 some times it is a good map. I got like 6 double kills in one match on it one day. The key is to playing with some people that don't camp. All luck I guess.[/quote] It's practically impossible to camp on a good map. Unfortunately, The Cage is, imo, the worst map in Halo history. And that says a lot with Paradiso now being a candidate
-
Yeah i agree!

also, just a tip for anybody, just downloaded google sketchUp, as suggested in the post, and it's a really good tool for designing halo forge maps.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] JoeSki73 Suck it haters! The Cage is a good map...[/quote] Really??? I thought Cage was a good map. I had great SWAT games on it. But when I heard others talk about it, i began to realize they were right. It is a poor map for a number of reasons. Do you really think Atom is a good map too? Seriously, curious. I made several maps. I submitted three for forgetacular. I hope Shopping Spree does NOT win. I don't think it is a good map. So I can speak as an honest critic of my own map. Do you really think Atom is MM material? [Edited on 12.28.2010 1:40 PM PST]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] chevychiss cage really sucks i h8 asylum aswell (no offense)[/quote] I hate every MM map on Forge World today. None of them are any fun to play on. They are all the same, they just look different. They are boring. They do nothing to keep your imagination, like themed maps. They are all the same - they are all "yet another path map". They all look different - their paths move in different directions. Flight Deck (on my file share) is an aircraft carrier, big team map that plays all game types. It is fun as hick. I never heard so many jaws hitting the ground when playing a custom map. Flight Deck takes you somewhere with its aircraft carrier theme. Sub System is a sub way station map. Rising Dead is a grave yard infection map. Jetway is an airport terminal. These maps take you somewhere and capture your imagination as you play. They immerse you in your game play - you don't wake up out of your game play while playing on them. Atom? Pinnacle? Asylum? What do they do for your imagination as you play? nothing....

martys right cage is epic but everyone has there own oppinion [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Marty the Elder The Cage is my favorite map of all time!! I love the Cage.[/quote]

Great post, great read, and Marty has foul taste. :)

the new defiant map is ok not my favoite but good. i wish they put a chin gun on the falcon so the pilot could shoot. or they should have gernade launcher turret on the side.i wish we could ride in the falcon like in the campaine but i guest bungie cant figure out what people want. bungie should create a veichle pack in wich its loaded with new veichles or with add ons and it shold be sold for 800 pionts or 6-9$.
