So I have finally completed a custom map in Halo: Reach's Forge World. But alas; I need testers to test it.

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=15943496&player=Lord%20Silvador

The above link is to download my map "Fortress" from my fileshare. I hope that you and your friends will download it and test it for me. I am only one person and require feedback on my map. This is only the alpha version. I need people to play it and tell me if it is balanced or if there are some things that need changing.

The main items I am seeking are details such as if spawn locations are good or should be moved. Should a weapon have more or less ammo? Does a weapon spawn too fast or not fast enough? I have modelled this map around an assault & defend play style with one team attacking while the other defends. Information regarding balance would be greatly appreciated. Is one side at a greater advantage over the other?

I put many hours into this map and am eager to hear how others find it. So please, download it, play it with your friends, get them to play it with their friends and let me know how you and your friends and their friends like it. Once I have enough feedback, I will release a beta version and hopefully, finally a final version. Together we can make a great map that many people will want to play on.

At least I hope so.

Any way to get screen shots of the level?

Alright. I've taken some screenshot... but uh... still working on getting them uploaded somewhere.

Some screenshots, as requested. Sadly, due to my lack of Fileshare space, the action shots have had to be left out.

Hmmm, if you need a puppeteer, I have a general rank character to use.

Well, the map needs a good group of at least 2 teams of 3 to properly test it. But I don't exactly have 5 other people to just gather and sit around playing on it for several hours to check if something needs improving.

That's why I've posted it so that it can hopefully get spread around a bit and tested by people with more friends than I do.

Well, name the time and I'll be on.

Rune, unless you can drag along at least 2 other people, probably 4, preferably 6, it's not going to be any good as just "name the time and I will be there"

This map needs a proper test of at least 6 players playing on the map and seeing if it is balanced and/or has faults that need improving. 2 or 3 guys dicking around is not going to be an adequate test.

I posted this here in the hopes that people might download it and spread it around because I do not have 5 other people to play it with. Even if I get you, 45 and Thorne, that only makes a 2 on 2 play, which is hardly a proper test of a 4 on 4 map.

To be properly tested, I need people to download the map and play it in groups of at least 6 and then give me feedback. I've already explained this in the first post at the top of this thread.
