Possible Map Ideas/Themes?
- Thread starter Epichair
- Start date
When I try to draw inspiration for maps, it's from a variety of sources:
- Levels created in other games, especially Halo. This is not to say that they work as direct remakes, but they offer some suggestions on general layout or theme.
- Architecture that is unconventional. Just Google Search some images. There's a benefit as well of being able to cater to some other criterion. So if I wanted to view something more arabesque, for example, I can just find it that way.
- Particular elements of other Forge creations. It's very direct because you can literally "take" pieces and parts to recombine into the map you're making.
- Something totally random. You can try this noun generator and see if your mind trails off into some sort of idea.
Thanks Z3R0, this shoukd help a lot, and from the noun generator I'm gonna base the map around the name "diamond creek".
This article should be of some use to you.

sorry again didnt notice reply buttonWoah, woah, woah, try to put some more punctuation in there somewhere
I've got an idea you could do: Jousting. The way I picture it in my head is you start two opposing players in mid air facing each other, armed with swords and hammers, with only a few feet between them so they can't hit each other and a trait zone in place so they can't move around while they're falling. You have them fall equal distances into a teleporter loop a few times over and over to pick up speed, then they would be beamed far apart from each other across the map and you use their speed to launch them out of a zipline track (one way shield with the blue side turned down and a solid surface just above the red side) towards each other at furious speeds, again using trait zones so they can't move at all in mid air-- this way they'll always collide in the same spot everytime, and you can put little spectator boxes around this point in mid air for the other players to watch the collisions while they wait for their turn. You do it in rounds so each one only takes about 30 seconds and then it's the next couple of people's turn and so on.
The tricky part would be aiming them at each other just right across such a huge distance. It would take a lot of trial and error. But I think it would be pretty cool. You could have them fly through a few rings on their way or something and make it look pretty well put together. Not sure if there should be grenades involved or not. I don't know if you can really throw them at high speeds.
