Welcome to the latest installment of Tuesday Night Tests! Here we get to test unfinished work by the community so that one day it can be finished and released to the masses with a positive reception. If you have a map that needs to be tested and you need buttpirates cool guys, this event is for you. If you like to play customs, this event is for you! If you want to know the color that's between yellow and green, then this event is for you. (Hint: It's chartreuse).

How do I get my map tested?

Here's what you need to do:

Post your map in your fileshare and link the url to your post along with the gametypes you want to test (Limit 2 gametypes per map)
Please state how many players the map plays best in (4v4, 6v6, 8v8 etc)
Please don't submit a map that has been posted elsewhere on the site. We want raw, unreleased work still in the testing (or beta) stage.

In the event that you're unable to participate in the testing sessions, but still want feedback, please start a thread HERE (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=120) along with a link to that thread in your submission post. If you participate in this event but the map creator isn't in the party, I strongly suggest you give them feedback in their threads. The more feedback they get, the better the map will be in it's final version.

I want to test maps!

If you don't have any maps to test, no problem! We would love to have you around and help others perfect their work.

This event will begin @ 7:00 PM EST (4:00 PM PST) and will last around 2-4 hours depending on submissions.

Below are the hosts and what time they will begin testing. If the need arises, the party may split to accommodate additional players or maps that have a certain player requirement.

Hosts (message these people on XBL or XF if you want to join):

Map Name: Block Party 2 (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=16659510&player=Spencermx14)
Players: 12-16
Gametypes: 1 Flag CTF, Territories (Both the Built in Versions)
Feeback Thread: http://www.xforgery.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13658
Description: This is my first city style map. It is made to me so the roads are dominated by vehicles but the rest is close quarters combat. See the feedback thread for much more information. I have updated some of the things that made people angry last time. I hope it plays better. I will not be able to make it so hopefully I can still get some feedback.

*Thank you so much for helping me out.

I would REALLY like to get a gameplay vid of the final version of Ferocious Kitty.
5v5 or 6v6 Multi-flag.

If we're too busy this Tuesday, that's no problem! :)

I guess it's getting to be that time.

Letol World Redux (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=14933998&player=Letol) ; FFA Slayer 4-16 players

If I don't make it, getting the video would be killer.

Hello All,
If there is room this week, please test the updated version of Deliberation. I added foot paths to the top and level and other tweaks based on the feedback I received, and added speedpile.
4v4, please test Team Slayer and speedpile.

In case I can't make the event tonight, please leave feedback here (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/showthread.php?p=162114#post162114).

Thanks!

I will almost certainly be joining everyone for another great night of tests (Unless Portal 2 gets shipped to my door early in which case *cough* I think I might be sick), and this week I have a map of my own to submit. The map is more a proof of concept for a gametype I designed, but it should still be a blast. I hope.

Map: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=16719262&player=Toon324

Gametype: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=16719257&player=Toon324

Recommended players: Not sure yet, but I think 4-12 would be best.

i won't be there tonight but i do have something i need tested

Skybox (remake of sandbox)
Player count: 8 to 10
Download link:

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=16729826&player=cyclonewolf114

Classic team slayer (gametype)
download link:
http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=15894705&player=cyclonewolf114

The classic slayer gametype is the matchmaking version so if you have that version you shouldn't need to download this one(Note that is it not the default classic that shipped with reach)

I might try and put dunes in later on but they don't really do anything

post feedback here please

also please post link to the video of the match so i can download it

For the Ferocious Kitty Playvid, I'd like to use a newer version (slight changes) that I'm working on now.
Here's the new link:http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=16734562

Thanks again!!

Ah, what the hell. One more time! This time the weapons have been modified, some power weapons disappeared, a few weapon placements have been shuffled.

Map: Reciprocal (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=16735058&player=Alzarahn)
Players: 5v5
Gametypes: Reciprocal - 5 Flag CTF (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=16735061&player=Alzarahn) & Reciprocal - Team Slayer (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=16735074&player=Alzarahn)

Sorry about being so late. This should be the last time this map is tested. I want to save the films to use in a video montage, so hopefully you guys look cool and don't do circles.

Damit! That's always my gameplan!! lol

We should test Catacombs, and really test for these "frame-rate" issues during an actual game! I've never had issues with the frame-rate on that map in the past... Regardless, its up to you Alzarahn. We can always play it another time, and play like 3 games in a row on it, and really look for it.

Well, TNT is for unreleased versions of maps. Catacombs is complete and posted, so that would be going against the spirit of TNT. :( But if you want to help me test it some other time, I'd be glad to have the help. What I really need is someone with 4 controllers on to test the framerate.

Sure, you know I'll help you whenever you want..... and whenever I'm online :). I don't own 4 controllers though, only two. From what I've heard, they're only looking for 2-player split screen frame-rate issue-free for the Cartographers. Regardless, I don't think you have any issues, but we should get some solid testing done on it someday, just to put it to rest.

Deliberation:

Additional ramps to the top was a nice addition. Hallway should be a little bit shorter or have an exit halfway to the hallway.

Map had very nice flow.
Weapon placement was very nice and balanced.
Speedpile was pretty good. Flag placement was questionable. Moving flag #5 to the bottom might be better.
Overall map was really good.

Skybox:

Where the missile launcher is at, replace it with a plasma launcher.
Check respawn times on vehicles and DMR's.
Overall it was a pretty decent remake.
Spawning was fine.

where they too high or too low?

the vehicles spawns times i had them at
mongoose 90
warthog 120
ghost 120
those are the same spawn times as they were in halo 3 except that the ghosts were not on the map.

the dmr time/needle rifle time is 30 when it was 10 seconds in halo 3 so i uped it slighty

I will elaborate, as I was there and Tim does enough work as it is.
The Ghosts were constantly on the map, and need a higher respawn time (probably 180, maybe even 200)
The warthogs were mostly fine, as they were killed quickly, but up them to 140-150.
The mongeese were perfect.
The needler rifle and dmr should be decreased down to 15.
I realize you were trying to mimic the first one, but ghosts play differently from choppers and we lack the missle launcher to kill them.

I would do one of two things:
1) Change respawn times
2) Change grenade launcher to plasma launcher

And then retest the map next week and see how it goes. Otherwise, great map!

Map Name: Lockout Xtremity 1.0
Players: 8 Player
Gametypes: Official Classic Gametypes (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileShare.aspx?player=ClassicGametype), Classic FFA (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=16536886&player=FTG%20Insanity)
Map: Lockout Xtremity 1.0 (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=16694171&player=FTG%20Insanity)
Feeback Thread (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13690)
Description: A Lockout for Team Classic Settings: 120% Speed, 125% Jump Height, and 150% Gravity. My lockout sticks to the true feeling of the original with all jumps being like they were in Halo 2 as well as gameplay, spawns, weapons, and variety of gametypes that are playable. I would like my map to be tested and to be downloaded as much as possible even though I have tested it thoroughly. Lockout Xtremity has no framerate issues and plays great on splitscreen.

Okay, yeah I have tested it thoroughly but you can never have enough testing for a map. I want feedback for my map, end of story. I posted this map in the map section of the forums and thats all. I have never been apart of TNT and I would like to participate.

Please read the rules before posting. And sorry for sounding like an ass, if I did.

How do I get my map tested?

Here's what you need to do:

[LIST]
Post your map in your fileshare and link the url to your post along with the gametypes you want to test (Limit 2 gametypes per map)

Please state how many players the map plays best in (4v4, 6v6, 8v8 etc)

Please don't submit a map that has been posted elsewhere on the site. We want raw, unreleased work still in the testing (or beta) stage.

Thanks Iron
you saved me from typing more

If you want to play it with people then put it in SNL Not TNT

as Iron already said TNT is for unreleased maps
