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!
-
SWEET. i love to play custom games on old halo 3 maps or huge FFA's. anyone ever wanna hit me up send me a message or add me. ::::dropDtune::::

This sounds like a great idea and all, but it's probably best if you post this in the classifieds. I will join or whatever though, my GTs RhinoVB117

GT: Liquatic I'm a forger, and a custom gamer. You can see my map - Aquatica, in my file share.

I'm Definitely In! And if I can get 13-14 people to spare 5 minutes, I can complete my custom games medal chest. I am missing the thriller medal, kill 15 humans as a zombie without dying. and I have a map that will get everyone the medal in a matter of seconds. Apart from that, I made an Invasion map entitled Mania, it is fun :P GT: Der Flatulator6 [Edited on 02.18.2011 6:31 PM PST]

I'm a forger, but sue to lack of like mind friends I rarly ever get the oppertunity to play test them. My GT is same as Username and I have two maps I would at least like to get indirect feedback on. [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileSets.aspx?player=Rednazxela]Alchemy[/url]and [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileSets.aspx?player=Rednazxela&set=27019]Trench[/url] are the maps, links are to filesets that either provide special gametypes for the map or a flythrough. Alchemy is a symmetrical map (although the location of two of the bases are inverted. there are three bases per side, a base in each corner and two in the middle. the middle two are used for regular slayer gametypes (although I have yet to setup anything other than slayer and CTF for it. The other four bases are used for four team CTF. Trench is an asymmetrical map based off WW1 trench warfare. The gamtypes slayer(up to 16), Territories (special gamtype included in link), and CTF (figured it'd be interesting). Both home trenches have Identical weaponry but different layouts, there are two middle trenches also with identical weaponry and different layouts (one has an armory with four main power weapons(Focus rifle, neddler, shotty, sniper), the other has it's weapons more spread out(although the sniper and shotty are still close together). Rubble and cover will randomly spawn in to give the sence of a raging battle(power weapons will also have delayed spawns), each team can spawn into a rocket hog artillery system to aid the teammates. Hope thats a good enough description. [Edited on 02.18.2011 8:11 PM PST]

Also got another map I've been working on thats just about ready to be playtested if anybody is interested. The design for this map is rather unique (I think/hope) but I don't want to spoil the suprise.

I have about 65 custom forge world maps saved, all of them the best of the best that I've ever found. Forgetacular entries and things of that caliber. But there's never anyone to play them with...

I've got some friends that will play customs but all they ever want to do is the same old gametypes that are already well known and then want to go to matchmaking before I even get a chance to show something.
-
That's my main problem. Cops and robbers is just stupid to me, but that's all anyone I play with will play. I want to see some new, interesting gametypes but no one will try them.
-
add me my gamertag is same as my name i love customs but im not that good of a forger.

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...

This is my invasion map: Map: [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=10627424&player=Hadey 1]Highlands[/url] Gametype: [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=10627430&player=Hadey 1]Invasion: Highlands[/url] It features a destructible bridge and is aesthetically appealing.
