Forge challenges for HC

[Bomber™]

So i know theres alot of awesome forgers here on hc and i think we should have a challenge put fourth to them!!
Im thinking we take an existing map and let the forgers add there own twist to it or either rebuild parts of it quickly.. 2.Time periods in which it is done could also be thrown in order to keep the forgers on there toes.. 3. could also make it so someone spur of the moment gives u an idea of what they want or gives you a name and you have to come out with a cool new design... Forgers lets roll and get some cool community night going...

[PROBEE]

Great ideo Bomber. This sounds awesome!

[Sundown]

I have something official planned, but if you want to do something on the side, be my guest.

[Bomber™]

well i guess ill wait for the something official to come out just hadnt really seen any cool forging nights or competitions come out yet thats all...

[Sundown]

That is true. We had a community forge night a while back, but I'm afraid interest was so little that it was disbanded for the time being.

I'm afraid we simply don't have a huge forge presence here on the site in our memberbase, but I will be announcing something soon. I feel though as if our forging site will evolve more in Halo 4, especially in the months following the launch.

[DEAD PSYCH0]

I'll try to put something wacky up just for you Bomber.

[Bomber™]

so lets create a map and ill change it every 10 minutes then we ll play on it ... then forge for 10 minutes then play on that one!!! we can call it BOMBERS SPEED DATING lol

[PROBEE]

I have never forged but I'll give it a go

[Bomber™]

now thats the spirit!! At least the first mate will step and have some fun with me!! i will teach you my son to forge craziness not semetrical, where gaurdians win not bk campers, where bad kids have a shot at winning not wanna be winners wining about losing!!! I AM BOMBER AND I AM CANADIAN

[germanicus1994]

This whole thing sounds like an interesting idea

[Bomber™]

i think its a great idea lol thats why im gonna have a fun forging night that maps change every 10 minutes woooooo.. All are welcome to forge with me that night also.. you dont have to be super semetrical mlg map maker to be a forger so all who want to learn or try your hand at forging im here to help...

[Sundown]

You dont have to be super symmetrical mlg map maker to be a forger

No, but you what you create should make sense, and have purpose, and otherwise make for balanced gameplay. You may know how to use the forge and its tools, but that does not make you a forger. You don't need to make anything in particular (MLG Symmetrical maps, per your example) But things that you create should have meaning, purpose, direction, balance, organization, and a flow in combination with aesthetics and design concepts, if you want the time you spent in them to not be wasted.

[Bomber™]

Everyones aloud their opinion on what makes a forger sundown but to say that if people make fun and unique maps that dont " make sense or have no purpose" arnt forgers, is pretty silly. It takes all kinds of people to make fun and unique maps for all game types and playlists or alls ud have is the same old boring playlists and maps. I simply suggested a fun idea for all forgers thats it and i hope people come and have fun with it.

[Sundown]

It takes all kinds of people to make fun and unique maps for all game types and playlists

Name one playlist in matchmaking where it is acceptable to be killed by the guardians, or one where there is no aesthetic balance. All maps have every one of those qualities I mentioned before, though sometimes the gametype breaks some serious deisgn principles, (IE. Dino Blasters). Like I said before, you may know the tools of forge, and how to put them together; but in order to become a "forger" maps simply cannot lack any of them.

Even race maps have dynamics that they have to follow (Does it work with Race gametype, Smooth track, consistent jumps, cohesive movement, aesthetics, etc.) While I encourage everyone to "have fun" in the forge editor, I am simply trying to pass the understanding that there needs to be a logical reason for everything. Every block should have a purpose, and until a map meets that requirement, it will simply be abandoned.

[Bomber™]

lmao and once again your entitled to your opinion sundown but im guessing not every map made or peice on a map has a specific purpose or a logical reason behind it..Sometimes you put peices in randomly and go hey that works out well..There wouldnt be alls these fun custom games and maps if everyone of those maps had to be perfectly designed either.. I here what your trying to say here but i consider myself a forger and for someone to say otherwise i guess thats your opinion.. Ive made everything from gaurdian kills all to semetrical maps... Ive made over 200 maps in the past year and im not about to throw them away cause they dont meet someones standards or matchmaking quality...
i keep making them and alot of people keep playing them and asking for them so i gotta be doing something right..

[HC BaD InTentZs]

I prefer symmetrical maps for true MM play but fun is fun. meh

PS, I like Bomber's maps. Guardian MVP FTW
