ZED created by Zandril S312 and oOZeroFlameOo This map is a product of a coforge between myself and oOZeroFlameOo. We basically wanted to make a map with a curved bridge that's similar to the one in Narrows but with more movement options around the map. The map is inversely symmetric. The middle has a decent amount of cover to make it a very strong position but is very contestable because of the routes enemy players can take to outflank the players controlling top mid. The setup of the bases are pretty simple. The main building in the bases are near the ends of the curved bridge and each base has its own courtyard. The bases also have a back route into them that players can take to flank enemy players controlling the bases. It is also home to the sniper spawn for each team. The map features plenty of jump ups ranging from basic jumps to discrete ones that will really assist observant players. Power weapons/powerups: - Rocket Launcher (x1)(180s) - Sniper Rifle (x2)(120s) Zed is compatible with Slayer, CTF, Extraction.

Hey guys. If some of you don't know, a modded gametype called VIP Slayer has been released. VIP Slayer is basically Guardian from Gears of War 2 modded into Halo 4. Hats off to the modding community for another awesome gametype. This gametype is a lot of fun and can also get very competitive. I highly suggest giving it a try.

The Mantis can stay, yes. There are so many counters to the OP Mantis in this playlist. However, I disagree about the Plasma Pistols not being there. It would make sense for standard BTB because it would be more competitive. However, I'd say that a Plasma Pistol would me necessary in a playlist like Heavies to actually give people a chance of surviving against all the heavy vehicles.

I would have enjoyed a gametype that gives us the hearts armor effect from Reach. I do believe it's possible through modding seeing as there's a modded gametype that puts the grunt birthday party armor effect in Halo 4.

I disagree. The best forge maps in the game are those that went under a solid thought process instead of something that players just threw together. The map will be much more well designed if it was thought of carefully instead of being a random thing. You're probably just playing the wrong maps if the mini games you play spawn you in bad places. There are so many well thought out, well designed maps out there. You just need to look for them.

Forge is the place to show your creativity. Your creations. It's weird if you need ideas from other people just to get started.

Yeah, that's not going to do anything. Only solution is to simply change it back when it does reset.

Cool. Baby Guardian is featured

I'm sure many of you despise Call of Duty. I dislike it as well but that is mostly due to the game's broken mechanics and unbalanced gameplay. However, I will not lie when I say that CoD has some cool gametypes. We've seen Sharpshooter and Gun Game from CoD get ported into Halo 4. Now, something new has come up. Search and Destroy has been modded into Halo 4. Fuse created by Gabotron ES http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8zqDDACA_Q More info about the gametype: http://www.xboxchaos.com/topic/3899-fuse/

Hiyo gents! The awesome modding community has struck again. This time, an old favorite from Halo 3 has been brought back. That would be none other than...

New wallpapers for me.

I love reading these writeups. So color. Much entertain. Wow. Thanks for the honorable mention btw. With THFE's map submission forums being moved to HC, I'll try my best to remain active here. Be on the lookout for Zanny in the non-forge forums. It's time I branched out from the map libraries. P.S. Here's a video I did of the featured map, 2v2 puzzlers. In case anyone was interested in seeing part of the map in action.

Invite me if you catch me online.

One of the areas that I remember being separated would be the initial spawn area of one of the teams. Keep in mind though that I only looked at the map in Forge so use your own judgement on your experiences with the map. Again, I don't think nitpicking at the problems I'm mentioning would do anything. A reforge would do you some good. Building it on a different canvas would probably be a good idea since the other canvases look neater than Erosion. Reforging would also allow you to watch your piece usage and give you an opportunity to make the map flow well.

I gave the new version a look. Still plenty of problems, I'm afraid. The problems with the flow are still present. This is because there are some areas in the map that are a little separated from the rest of the map. These areas are the ones that won't be used much during a match and will end up being spawn sites. The long hallways I mentioned are also still there. Something new I noticed were the bad initial spawns. I don't really remember the color but one of the teams spawn in the separated area I mentioned above while the other teams' spawns are placed in bad areas. Two of the spawns were facing a completely different direction from the others. I'm also afraid the power position still poses an issue because there's only one hard route to it. Then there are the aesthetics. Aesthetics don't just mean big structures that give the map a theme. A huge element in a map's aesthetics would be its neatness and cleanliness. Your map uses a plethora of different pieces and textures and it really takes away from the overall look. You're also building this on Erosion so the last thing you want on your map is visual noise. Competitive map aesthetics: http://www.forgehub.com/threads/next-level-forging-aesthetics.147945/ I still don't think all the problems can be fixed without a complete reforge of many areas. I suggest prioritizing fixing the problems with the flow.

Did you update the OP with the newer link? I'm going to try to get a look-see at the new version sometime this weekend.

I'd keep it to 1v1. And make sure to use mini slayer. You can play regular slayer too but it's less hilarious.
