How to Make a Good Map in Forge

Ever wanted to make a map that everyone wanted to play? Well if so then keep reading, if not, then, um, your weird.

So, first think of an idea, make sure it is fun, maybe it's a remake of a game you played in Gym class or outside, maybe it's a remake of another map from an older Halo game or maybe it is just funny and clever. But make sure you have a good idea that sounds like people would be attracted to.

Practice around in forge, know the ins and outs of how to control things.

Start building your map, you can have a friend help you but make sure they know what you want and know how to forge correctly.

Make sure everything thing is lined up, most people judge a map on its looks, so make sure every wall is precisely lined up with the last, trust me, it makes all the difference.

If your game needs a specific game-type to go with it, make sure the settings are all correct.

Don't be afraid to test it out yourself and make sure everything is perfect before you want anyone else to see it.

Remember, think outside the box. Do something that hasn't been done before, or if it has, make it better and more fun, and make sure you are putting out quality work.

Good Luck Gaming,
