Hey guys as you all know, a lot a gripe is still looming over many of the forged maps that get pushed through the submission process. Well here is where it all starts. This thread over at the MLG Forge Forum has all the maps were submitted for v6. So, TLN if you want to be a part of the process of Forge/Testing/Feedback head over there for some awesome well in depth discussion on how the thought process of a forger really is.
Thanks

If anyone wants to run games on these maps HMU on XBL
Here is addition to the maps, I added small little walkthrough reviews. This is directly from my other post
Submission for v6 Map Reviews
Here is a personal take on just how the map feels as submitted. Majority of these maps have not been play tested by me but are being critiqued on how well the map was forged in a walkthrough. This review will take some time and hopefully will complete this before testing has commenced. After play testing on my I will add a more in-depth review on how the games went.
Now, if anyone wants to add any gameplay footage/review of their own. I will gladly add it to the OP. For all to see.
Thanks again, all this will help new forgers learn some of the mistakes they made and better from them as they grow as a forger. And also help experienced forgers get a full detailed review on what be fine tuned in later revisions. By all means, I have not made a map that has made it into the circuit, so take the reviews how you see fit. This is all from one forger to another. Good Day!
Apollo:
Lousy cover was overly expressed, the map itself is too wide, the incline top mid is to steep. Overall concept was good just needs to be cleaned up, less objects and fully polished.
Highlight of the map – Lift area, it needs work but the concept is a great idea
Ayu:
Starting spawns need not to face wall at start. This will cause complications for gamers at the get go. There were a couple mason holes in the map. In some areas, it felt like objects were not necessarily meant to be in the area, more or less just a filler. As for most MLG maps lights are no go, so try to stay away from them as much as possible. Overall, layout can be adjusted or even trimmed.
Highlight of the map – The control point of the map is at top Green which has a limited view but can definitely be hardest area to contest as well
Basilica:
From the get go, this map has beauty feel to it. It looks like you catered to mostly aesthetics than gameplay but I am sure this map plays well. Amount of objects could be the bearer of bad news to screen lag, which it looks like it has some, but as a suggestion to for a non-aesthetic look is to simplify the stairs. Overall, good looks!
Highlight of the map – The aesthetics were great, and the outside made me feel like I was in a map
Circumvent:
First asymmetric map of this review +. Now the map seems a little, like I was being pushed around too much with the lifts and teleports all over the place. The use of bridges felt like I was being forced into one area. Most gamers, don’t like that due to the fact once you have committed that route there is now way run or hide in a firefight situation. Overall, try rebuilding this map in Blood Gulch area and use the ground to to allow bottom level movement and use less lifts/teleports
Highlight of the map – The green house felt like a safe house but at the same time it could a huge disaster, build onto this area and give the map a point of control
Citadel:
Great remake! The jumps felt spot on, the aesthetics were not too flashy and you captured the meat of it. Great work! Hope this map does well in the submission.
Highlight of the map – The view of the map made me feel like I was in H3 Citadel
Condor:
This definitely has a construct feel to it. But has a new twist to it, I like that. Now, the lifts might be overused but I cant really judge that since is a multi level map. Overall, good map, forged well and hope to see this one in testing.
Highlight of the map – Bottom lift area where rockets are, was cleanly forged and the smoothness of the lift was awesome
Conduit: This map definitely has potential. Overall, layout was planned out well and it you can tell this one was forged with pride. The aesthetics were clean and not overdone. Great job, look forward to playing this one
Highlight of the map – The complexity of it, yet was easy to understand
Confined:
My personal favorite of the narrows remakes so far. I have watched this map grow into something fierce. Well forged and can’t wait to further test this map.
Highlight of the map – Bottom mid area has always been my favorite, but watch out for those nasty falls off the balconies
Conman:
Forged in the coliseum, is always a hard one to control lighting on a map. The bottom level needs more floor height variation, felt to flat. I like some of the jump ups and some of them were a little much(green). Overall, great layout, just rebuild with new floor to not give it so much of a flat level feel.
Highlight of the map – It honestly felt like a CS custom map I played that played well.
Decision:
I liked this one, but it needs some work. Not in a bad way though. Just in some areas like near a lower level need to be cleaned up. Use color is a big thing, this helps out with call –outs. Overall, keep it up the forging and let the map and you become one ☺.
Highlight of the map – The originality of this map was a great
District:
My own map, will not review
Extinction:
I liked the layout a lot. Top mid was my favorite and loved how bottom level was like and underground garage. Good job on the forge and hope this map plays well in the submission testing.
Highlight of the map – Top mid had a very clean look to it that served a purpose
Gridiron
Haze:
Forged well and this too could be a strong contender for the submission. Very clean, nothing to absurd. My only issue is the color of the bunker boxes in bottom mid don’t match yuck… But I am sure this can be easily fixed by raising the map in further revisions. Overall great map.
Highlight of the map – I love how this was brought over from GoW, nicely done
