With the advent of the release of Halo: Reach and all the forging capabilities it presents, our local community of forgers is stepping up to design new and interesting maps. Now we need you to test them!
In order to keep from unintentionally inflicting the community with inferior products, we believe that putting them through their paces via a 2old2play community testing process is in order. In order to make this really work nomindo (GT Snellstedt) proposed the idea of an "Open House", where community volunteers will be asked to participate in a playtest/review process.
For all of us that have had the misfortune of playing entirely too many crappy or unfinished maps and gametypes, here's your chance to keep others from having to suffer the same experiences. Step up and help our forgers to refine their skills and make their creations as top-notch as they can be. Let's work together to build a library of maps and gametypes that we as a community can be proud to call our own. Who knows, you may even get to be among those who can say that they were among the first to playtest a map or gametype that made it into the Bungie hopper.
This past Sunday we saw a great turnout of Forge testers and map creators in one room. With the help of Ghost92 and the 2old2play Forge Forum we hope to continue this trend in the months to come. If you would like to get in with the testing and think you can help, send an Xbox Live friend request to a1 2o2pFORGE. Alternatively if you would like to try your own hand at Forge creations, head on over to the Forge Creations Forum to learn more about the community and process. See you online!
