:lol Yeah, I had to step around it earlier too.
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing. The "blank canvas from the guy who only makes Gran Turismo" followed by the car fetishist was great.

I lost it at the Diablo part. You know they planned that before Diablo III released and Sony knew they would get this type of reaction after it's reception from the fans. I feel bad for Sony really. It would have been a huge move if D3 was as successful as expected.

I once thought that we were deliberately given "bad" Halo experiences so that we can more easily be blown away later.. but your theory seems to make the most sense.

If you think THAT'S corny, then Archrelic is a whole new species of corn.

343, you're getting conversation going, and people are liking the maps. These people will tell their friends, etc, etc. Imagine if the tools were built into the box/game for the next go around.
hmmm infinity still exists so fuck this TU

That 4 base map looks pretty good also. A lot better than what was shown in the preview vid.
Cross post here and Halo 4 Forge OT
I've been working on another map. When I read about the FFA contest, I figured, eh what the heck. I'll give my second map another shot. It took the original idea of courtyards and doodled a new version on a piece of paper. If I'm making a symmetric map, I generally break the map into 4 squares that each have 4 squares as well. This was the result.
Just like usual, I decided to go into SketchUp and mold out the map. It stayed fairly true to the paper version. The biggest issue I noticed in SketchUp was that there were only 2 ramps to get to the top. I figured I could find some new spots in Forge once I started it up.
A lot of things got changed, but the overall design largely remained the same. It is mirror symmetric, instead of inverse symmetric like my concepts were. The base layout still is a courtyard design. I changed the base layout to have ramps inside the base. This gives players a way up right off spawn.
In order to accommodate for the 8 player max of FFA, I decided to turn the side pieces into their own courtyards. The side courtyards are a bit smaller than the team courtyards, mostly so it will work during team games. Originally the orange courtyard was green, but I decided to change it after my roommate's friend couldn't tell the difference between red and green base(hint: he's R/G colorblind).
In order to give more distinguishing features to one side, I decided to throw a small asteroid trail up on the orange side. This has another side effect of shading the red base and the orange base.
The center box is a giant LoS blocker. It blocks the top and bottom base-to-base, as well as side-to-side. There's also a pair of lifts on each side to give players another route to the top. So far this is the best lift I have made. I haven't gotten stuck on it yet, but I won't say that it is impossible quite yet.
The red dots indicate FFA spawns. This stayed true from the original concept.
These are the initial weapon spawn locations.
Blue dot- Frags
Green dot- Plasmas
Orange cross- Pulse(below)
Red dot- Shotgun
Purple cross- Sniper(below)
I have random ordnance set up as well, but it is spread across the map.
I wanted to have the name deal with courts, so I named it Dread. It's a play on Dredd, plus it made giving it a description really easy. "The UNSC always feared the threat of Mega-Asteroid One crashing into this lawless station." Fear-dread. It works.
Things I have remaining:
-Spawning
-Objectives
-Fix the janky floor
-Loadout cameras
I'll upload it once I get the first two done, which will either be later tonight or tomorrow afternoon. Thanks for reading, and I'm eager for some feedback.

Looks like it might be fun Karl. Maybe you should try mixing up the ground textures with something like Dispatch.
Looks too bland.

Good God...
Fixed.
Can't tell if joke thread or not.
I would love to change the ground textures, but due to the size of the map, ColiWalls are my best option. Plus, the geometry uses up the entire 100 object budget in the "Building Blocks" section. I'd also love to not need to use 20 ColiWalls for the walls, but sadly there isn't a good indoor area like the Sandbox basement.
Thanks!
Last I was told it was somewhere between the Cartos and the Bravos. So hit up ya boy Bravo and be all like "Yo dawg. This is a good map. I want to be able to play this with complete strangers."
I don't know what to make of this. That's hilarious if it's not serious, but sad if it is.

Gears of War Judgment is looking solid.
wat. 4 launch maps? PvP turning you off? I think those 'nades look pretty cool.. better than PV as an AA IMO.
I like how IGN is doing this. STEP IT UP MICROSOFT!
