Huh, did you also have it set to show invisible blocks as well? Also did you did that Pit v6 map with snipers?
Not sure what you mean by the first part of your post and I didn't touch that The Pit map.
Also, turns out it does affect framerate in normal matches too. It started out fine but as the game went on and more people joined (not sure if this is related) the framerate started to get dramatically worse. I'll create a different version with larger spawn zones instead of just individual spawns later today or tomorrow. Hopefully that'll fix the framerate issues.
I will go tell JForce about this and hopefully they can fix it in the next update.
Sanctuary is now set up with spawns and no framerate issues. 
Edit: I also set up that The Pit map with proper team spawns. Also changed some of the weapons locations/spawn timers and made some minor structural changes. Now I'm going to work a bit on Lockout and Hang 'em High.
By the way, can Alpha and Omega team spawn in neutral spawnzones or is it only used for FFA spawning?

I need to get those maps from you over. I'd love to play them.

JForce has shown the first picture of the BR which is done, it will be included in $1 DLC along with some extra little goodies.
[They said they will probably make it placeable on the map but to spawn with it in non MatchMaking modes you will need the DLC]
Wait, how does DLC for Indie Games work? Do they essentially just make a new version of the game or what?
They are making a little mini-game for XBLIG but its only being made so they can sell the DLC code and it wont be anything big. Its smart and its going to be marketed as DLC+Mini-game rather than just the mini-game.
Ok so the new update got delayed about 2 days so it will be out Tuesday. Adds a bit more than map sharing.
-Fixed Waypoints
-When shield is down it makes sparks (this is actually a pretty big thing when you think about it)
-Weapon no longer drops on pick up of the flag
-Can no longer side or front dash with the flag
-Dashing takes you out of zoom
Also the way Map Making mode works is awesome, someone creates a map making lobby and creates a category, you can put as many maps as you want in the category and make new ones. So for example you can make two lobbies, one for Halo and one for Call of Duty but still be in the same Map Sharing mode. You can also enable other people to share their own maps if you want and its a per-category option.

sounds awesome! I can finally get some halo maps. I still only have u4ix's hang em high.
It would be cool if they added options to disable sprint and another option to increase player speed.
EDIT: Any chance of this game going on PSN?

I mean you never know, with the PS4 being built like a PC and being VERY welcoming to Indie devs its possible. Also if the AppHUB in Windows 8 is in Xbox 720 expect it to be a fully featured game not held back by XBLIG rules.
Also for PC players or people who want it on PC, I made a video about them possibly exploring Microtransactions (CHEAP and ONLY COSMETIC ONES) and the aspect of making the game F2P on the PC with that system. Would you guys be cool with that?
Now instead of a huge list of maps I have categories and it helps soooo much, any game with custom maps should have folders.
Also you guys should tell me what you think about the update 8 preview video, took me 2 hours to make lol
The added text could've beeen a bit clearer. Sometimes it's barely readable/noticeable because of the background. Other than that it was a nice, short, to-the-point video showcasing the changes.
Yeah I will work on that next time, for some reason my editor shrank the text as it got longer, thats why the first word is easy to see and the rest is a blur if you are not in 720p and watching with the bigger screen or full screen mode.
That list of Halo maps in the JForce file sharing session is a bit disappointing. So far aside from one or two they all have scaling issues.
I tried to recreate a Narrows remake that was close to scale but I soon figured out that the space blocks won't propel you far enough for it to work well.

Surprisingly the Countdown remake is pretty amazing even though the scale is off.

Over can you post on here when you are on so I can get some maps from you?
All the maps I have can be found in the JForce map sharing session.

oh cool, even your sanc map?
There's a Sanctuary on there. Haven't checked, but I'm 95% sure it's mine. Could be an older version, though.

that looks more like a lobby than a HUD.
1. The background image was the first thing I noticed, which isn't necessarily what a background image should be doing in a UI (it's way too distracting/busy).
2. It's been a while since I've played it, but doesn't Murder Miners support 16 players? It doesn't look like that many gamertags will fit in the player list.
3. There's a lot of unused space. At the very least, I would try moving the various screen elements inward so your eyes don't have to travel so far.

Again it wad just kind of a quick mock up Lobby UI to show JForce that there are MUCH better ways to set up a lobby (don't know why I said HUD) but thank you guys for the feedback!

It would also need to adhere to 4:3 safezone rules. Peer review and all that.
That would be much better.
Some of us are trying to talk to them about taking that route because while the BR is awesome it should not be limited to DLC only.
Could you ask them if they could change space blocks so they shoot you further when you run into them? Right now with each block you add on top of the others you get shot into the air higher and higher. This is only the case when walking into them, though. When you run into them this also happens up to a height of 2 blocks. After that you only get thrown as far as you do when there's only 2 blocks on top of each other. It'd be cool if adding blocks vertically it would shoot you up higher vertically and adding blocks horizontally would shoot you further away horizontally.
If they do that I can continue building my Narrows remake.

Is jforce still doing map sharing? They are never on when I get on.
I will suggest that to them for sure!Could you ask them if they could change space blocks so they shoot you further when you run into them?

I think they are going to host another one soon, I will probably host my own around 6:30 EST

Do you have all the Halo maps wwmonkey?
Helping test the new update right now but as soon as I am done I will be hosting a map sharing session with all the Halo remakes I found.

Thank you very much
Let me just record 3 min of footage and I will host. So just wait 10 min and check map sharing.
Also for the creative types. I am doing a little community engagement thing and if you guys want to, make a 512x512 image that could possibly make it into the game.

I always miss it lol
Update 10 Preview
The new maps are really awesome. Also when Matchmaking comes it will probably be 3v3 since that seems to be the sweet spot for versus.
