HallBrawl Nearly Finished!

I worked hard today, but I could have gotten more done if my friend Robbie hadn't joined and started shooting at me while I was trying to build. A quick skirmish in the map and a few messages later, he left to go play CoD MW3. All I need to do now is place weapons and place the objectives for the different Gametypes I want to include. That will probably take 2-3 hours (2-3 days since I only play one hour per day.) Hopefully I  can get the map on Forge Hub and my file share by the end of the week.

HallBrawl Tear-out

Yesterday I tore out HallBrawl's walls and began to put in new ones. Today I mostly finished the walls and completely delete both bases. They were large, nobody used them, and therefore they were a complete waste of pieces. Using those pieces, I began construction of two new bases. I almost completed the red base. Despite the fact I am going back to school tomorrow, I am confident I can finish both bases tomorrow and then work on the gametypes after that. I hope to submit the map to Forge Hub for testing. Depending on the response, I may have to do a draft five. Ouch!
Today is the Rose Bowl, so I have to cheer for my favorite football team! GGGOOOO DDDDUUUUUCCCCKKKKKSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got Home and Right Back to Work

I got home from vacation today and immediately I began work on HallBrawl. The map is nearly finished now. All I have to do is add support for other gametypes besides 3-Plot (In this case 5-Plot) Territories and do some testing. I discovered Forge Hub recently and I am hoping one of their map testers/reviewers will give me some advice. I am very excited! I worked a little on Cavernous Asylum today. That map is also almost done.
While I was on vacation and I didn't have Forge, I busied myself with planning out the maps I want to make. I am planning two remakes, one from my favorite Android game (Tank Hero), and another from Star Wars Battlefront II. All in all, January is going to be jam packed with Forging.

Christmas Time!

Welcome to this blog! I'm on vacation right now, so I haven't forged since the 19th. I can't wait to get home because I have a lot of work that I need to do on my map HallBrawl, which is my favorite map I've ever made. I finally figured out how to use my file share, so I'm hoping to download some of my favorite maps from YouTube and share some of my own with the Halo community. I have many projects I'm starting, such as a remake of the Star Wars Battlefront II map Coruscant. I also want to try my hand at a racetrack. However, first I have to finish the map HallBrawl and my map CA, which stands for Cavernous Asylum.
So once again welcome to my blog and please follow me. You can visit my other blog at www.writingridersnovels.blogspot.com. I haven't posted in a long time there but I probably will soon.
