hey i would love to help test maps on tuesday night,
my gamertag is: Th3 bl1nd n1nja

the testing sessions for the forgetacular contest were a ton of fun and cant wait for more

[suffocation49]

I seemed to have missed this... I'm so sad

But if anybody sees this and feels like testing... http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=10371385&player=suffocation49

Sounds good! I will be down for more testing.

[FEARtheBEARD38]

Hey if you guys could test my map that would be awesome

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=9947261&player=FEARtheBEARD38

BTB slayer or BTB CTF should be played on it with red vs blue teams, thanks so much everyone

Also id like to help test if i could my gamertag is FEARtheBEARD38

[Alzarahn]

Looks like we're already getting a surge of content for testing. I'll just toss some dessert beside your already filled plate...

Immersion - Map and Gametype (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileSets.aspx?player=Alzarahn&set=22919)
This is my latest project and it's nearing completion, but I won't be releasing it until I'm certain it's as close to perfection as possible. This is a symmetrical arena designed primarily for 4v4 or up to 6v6 Capture the Flag...Any more players than that and I think things start getting a little too hairy, based on previous playtesting. This is Red VS Blue by design, so don't stray to other teams; you'll spawn all over the map and won't have a flag or goal. Keep in mind this is a custom gametype, with quick flag return and adjusted weapon damage and speed...it should feel somewhat similar to MLG gametypes. If there are any problems, or even any minor suggestions you think might make the map or gametype more enjoyable, I'm all ears.

Also, I am willing and able to playtest maps most days of the week. My Gamertag is Alzarahn (big surprise?).

[DarthMike431]

I can't wait to start testing again. These past few weeks since the test sessions ended, I was missing all of the fun and laughs we had during during those games. It's more fun than matchmaking.

Ooooooh yeah. finally. I was awaiting for something like this. Here's the Front Lines Conquest (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=10371441&player=Zow%20Jr) ready for testing. Wat games? COnquest you sillies.

Here's also Zow Jr's Halo 3 Invasion SLayer (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=11282683&player=Zow%20Jr) on Fort Beta 2219 (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=11282422&player=Zow%20Jr). It needs one final run-through

Can't wait. See you at 6 pm EST!!!

Map: Outpost Sierra (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=11315403)
This is a, hopefully, improved version of a map I submitted to Forgetacular. I made it with 4v4 in mind and the game types Team Slayer and Multiflag CTF. It's a symmetrical map. I appreciate any feedback!

[Rootbear75]

I would love to get the large maps off of the list we have so far at the squad. Large games are hard to organize. See this (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/group.php?do=discuss&group=&discussionid=512) for the list we have so far.

Also, I want to let everyone know that if they do not get their map tested during this event, we are still taking submissions for anyone who needs to have their map tested.

[Lametastic]

Map: Furlough (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=11323515&player=lametastic) 4-12 players

Furlough takes direct inspiration from two of my favorite maps, The Pit and Sanctuary. It is a symmetrical map set in the Quarry and designed mainly for Team Slayer and FFA Slayer. Objective games work splendidly as well, but I would prefer those two gametypes tested first, if possible.

Thanks for the assist!

Probably best with 4-8 players, should work well with both Team Slayer and FFA's.

[Texas Sniper828]

Am I to late for testing signups?
If not my GT is Texas Sniper828

[leegeorgeton]

If you can get to it, I'd like it if you could try my map out. I'd be especially appreciative if you could save a video of a game on it. The map probably works best with around eight players and supports all the game types except for invasion and race so I'm cool with the testers playing whatever game type they feel like at the time. Just make sure you make a few attempts at activating the skybridge while someone is in it.

My map is called Velodrome.

Only test if you would like to. I would love to hear some feedback and if there is stuff that needs changed.

This probably will not get tested tonight but I think I'll post it anyway.

Park Gardens (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=11571086&player=Vip3rAssass1n)

There should be 8 players minimum but I would like to see 12 if possible.
First up, good ol' Red vs. Blue, Team Slayer.
If there is time for one more game, I'm curious to see how Safe Havens (Infection) works on this map.

*Also, if anyone who tests the map could save the entire film of the games so I can download them, I would greatly appreciate it.*

Great test sessions. Hope we make it a regular thing.

If possible, can we test my map again? I lagged out during that match, and couldn't get the film. Also, we didn't play with the recomended amount of people.

Anywhere from 8-16 people would be good for this map.
If you are able to record a gameplay video, I could really use one.

Also, is the feedback posted in this thread or do i have to be in the test session to get feedback? Because i won't be able to get on XBL Tuesday night.

Dirt, are you guys testing? I would love to join you.

Just finished broseph, I invited everyone that was online that signed up to test...

We did manage to get a test on your map as well as about 8 others, they all played great.

With that being said, we are out of content for next tuesday, unless of course people submit more maps for testing :)

[RPAL]

Okay coolio then. If there is a list of players somewhere, add me to it for next Tuesday. I don't see a list in the OP.

[TheClubhouse]

The following map is a remake of a remake! ;)
I've done some pretty huge gameplay type changes to the map, and would like to have it tested.

Its best for 4v4 or 5v5.
It can now play most game varients, but I'd like to try it on Assault. (Never tried it on assault).

I would put it in my fileshare, but it's not done yet, and people raid my fileshare to download the other two versions all the time, I don't want people to get this version before its done. So maybe I can setup the map and pass the control back to you? ;)


Space Station III
I know. I won't let it go. But until people stop playing other maps, and only play Space Station, then I'll keep renovating it. Besides, its a trilogy right?


Here's a quick list of the changes I've made for this version:

Now supports Infection, Koth, Slayer, Invasion, Head Hunter, One Flag, Assault, Stockpile, and all FFA gametypes.
Removed floor 5 (which was just a very small teleporter room) - This should help remove camping at the defensive base for flag games.
Increased the size of floor one massively. Now floor 1 (garbage level), isn't a dead end useless floor.
Sniper now spawns in the offensive base. Stops the defensive (flags) players from over-poweringly camping the flag-bridge.
Modified the "Control-room" wing of the map. Its no-longer just a two-story empty room. It now fits with the theme/flow of the map.
Added a power-up (over-shield). Not sure how this will play out till testing.
Jet-packs now at each end of the "not activated bridge, floor 2", to ensure there's always a jetpack as some people start customs without making sure.
Cleaned up the roof asthetics of the garbage room and the glass bridge asthetics on floor 1
Replaced the colours of floor 4, from pink to red. The red stands out much more.

So here's a few pics of the changes made in the new version.
http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/7506/reach12320663full.jpg
Defensive base. Now the teleporter (used to be in little room on top of base) now located in the main floor.


http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/576/reach12320672full.jpg
New elevators. They work amazing. Also, pic shows overlooking window where sniper hole used to be.


http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/1783/reach12320674full.jpg
Shows the location of the new sniper spawn. By the large windows in the loading bay.


http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/3913/reach12320675full.jpg
The new "control room", located on floor 1. Not the whole room is visable, nor is the small "safe-spawn" room attached to it.


http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/5442/reach12320691full.jpg
The power-up spawn. Floor 1, opposite side from the loading bay.


http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/3286/reach12320676full.jpg
Not much, just showing the jetpack locations. This will ensure there's always another access point to the flag spawn.


http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/8640/reach12320695full.jpg
New staircase linking floor two to floor three. Rocket spawns in the centre of it.

[Skittlemeister]

Heracles
Asymmetrical map dominated by a towering Forerunner structure in the center. Very small and only fits 4-8 players, and is only set up for Slayer and Team Slayer right now, but that's all I'm testing it for this week. It will be set up for Asymmetrical gametypes, though.

Link to File Share File (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=12356868&player=SkittIemeister)

The picture I have is a premature shot, most of the structures in it are no longer there and have been replaced by a wall going around with a bridge connecting the two bases, one you can see with the diamond above it, the other on the far side of the map.

Gamertag is SkittlemeIster, I would love if you could help me test this on Tuesday, thanks.

I think some sort of feedback system would be a great idea. I was unavailable for most of the testing last week when my map was tested so other than looking at the game stats on bungie.net I have no idea how the testing actually went.

Crap, I completely forgot about it. Did you happen to test my map, DJ?

I would like to test my map this tuesday!! Its 4v4 or 5v5. I'll setup the game and give you party leader back, instead of putting it on my fileshare.

Ya, I figured out the best way to solve that problem without painstakingly having to record every comment and PM you guys.

If you are unable to participate in the testing sessions and would like feedback on how the map/gametype played, start a thread HERE (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=120) for players to comment.

Please avoid double posting man. Also if you could include the amount of players and the gametypes this map supports that would be great. Ill try and get it tested for ya- but remember that next time.

[SnoopALoop]

Do we need a mic to test? My brand new turtle beach x11's decided to stop working last night. I would love to join up and play if it's alright, even though I really wanted to discuss my map Rinzler and get feedback, which now cannot happen :mad:.

[DIRT JOCKEY]

Got off to a laggy start but everything picked up pretty fast. Got some asshole kids towards the end but they got a swift kick and their name entered in my almighty Blacklist. So over the course of about 4 hours we tested about 15 maps with a party of 10-16 people.

Id call that a success!

We are yet again, out of maps to test- keep em coming!

Thanks again to everyone who participated- look forward to seeing you next TNT

GT LynumUp. Send me an invite for tomorrow (the 18th). I have two maps to test. HOGWATER (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=12772445&player=LynumUp) (8-16 players) and DIVIDE (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=12748135&player=LynumUp) (4-12 players). Both maps support team slayer and ctf.

HOGWATER is corrupted man, not sure how that happened but it would not load.

No, you do not need a mic. Glad to see you showed up! I made sure to ask everyone what they thought of the map so you could hear the comments even though you couldn't speak.

Hope to see you next Tuesday

[SnoopALoop]

Hey thanks it was alot of fun...some of those maps were insane (Future Warfare comes to mind). It definitely sucked being the only guy without a mic haha. I was glad to see those trash talking kids get the boot, what a couple of idiots. And I might have had one of the best games of my life on that Citadel remake...gonna have to look that one up. Hopefully I can make it to the next one with a mic XD.

[octoid]

my map is Batlike!

set up for 4v4, and CTF. Long map, features a few wider areas to defend, and multiple paths below. Many strategic vantage points, multiple levels to the floor to keep the headshots challenging.
