I've tried the art of Forge several times in the past, but I always run into the same problems, such as "There's not enough pieces, I can't do that", and the infamous "I'll just make another arena map for the nth time", or my personal favorite "The geometry is AMAZING! Now, about those spawns, vehicles, weapons, special effects and what not...".
The latter is my Kryptonite. I simply does not into spawns. And weapon selection: I tend to choose weapons based on their function and accessibility and from there, I can pinpoint locations, but by the time you choose the spawn and weapons, you'll realize something that literally doesn't look as good as it did on paper, and you'll go change it, and then that will mess up everything else, and meanwhile, everything else will have the same problem, so it's like A CYCLE OF SPONTANEOUS ANEURYSMS ONE AFTER ANOTHER!!
Is there actual people who are willing to put up with mental explosions as such? I understand that game designers have to do this everyday, but come on, they get paid! Also, beauty is in the eye of the beholder; I'm not a miracle worker.
For a backlog of maps that I have made, your best bet is Halo 4 on the Xbox 360; you'll only find one or two maps at the most... or twenty. My gamertag is DeathRhinoAC130 btw.
I feel indifferent about lobbying and 'custom game nights'. On one hand, I understand that maps have to get tested and showcased, but on the other, I was in a gaming community back on Xbox 360, and Forge was completely oblivious to them.
TLDR- Gamertag is DeathRhinoAC130, looking for fellow forgers with experience in spawning.
