Halo map testers wanted

Hello all,

I have recently played around with Forge World and have created a map known as 'Battlefield'. Because I would like to put this on the internet so others can download and play it with friends, I require players to attend a 'test' in order to make appropriate changes for its release on x box live.

[header=0][b]About Battlefield[/b][/header]

Battlefield is a team v team, closed-in (relatively large) map which is designed in the way that both teams get a designated base which is full of Armour effects, vehicles, weapons, etc. [b]Each team gets the same perks.[/b]

Each team gets a piece of the 'battlefield' in between the bases which gives them cover, mounted machine guns and weapons to take out the opposing team's vehicles. There are a few weapon cases out in the battlefield which contain weapons which may give your team an advantage over the other team. This map requires the team to work together in order to destroy the other players.

[header=0][b]Known problems[/b][/header]

• There is a sniper's nest on each of the team's bases. I am aware that if you hop off the side of it, you can go on top of the box behind the shade turret and climb on the wall. This gives you an opportunity to climb to the other player's base and potentially spawn camp. I have found this issue with the map and have placed kill boundaries on the walls. If you climb on the wall by the box, you will be killed instantly.

[header=0][b]Feedback[/b][/header]

Because this map is a test version of the real thing, I require feedback to make it better and, hopefully, put it out on the internet so others can download and play it with friends. Players who test this will be asked to give some feedback on the map. Things that can be covered include:

• Were there any flaws or problems with the map layout? Clearly explain the problem(s) should there be any.
• Was there anything that was given to the other team that may have given you and your team an unfair advantage? Clearly explain the problem(s) should there be any
• Do you have any suggestions of which I could incorporate into the final design of the map? Clearly explain the suggestion.

[header=0][b]Tester application form[/b][/header]

To test this map, I require details so I can contact you on x box live and basilmarket. The tester's apps go on a first come, first serve basis. Please include the following information:

BasilID (For contact):
Xbox gamer tag (For contact):

I don't require any other information. Just be sure to be online on the day given to attend the test. [b]I will note now that to qualify for this test, all you require is a copy of Halo Reach and x box live access. There are no other requirements, but I would appreciate if you could leave feedback.[/b]

I require a total of 15 player (excluding myself) to take part in this test. Should there be not that many interested, I will take up to a minimum of 7 players. I greatly appreciate anyone who is interested in this and I hope to see you online in the test

Should you need to contact me, you can contact me on Basilmarket, in-game (Maplestory > Scania > SoulDriving) and on x box live (GT: xGeester)

Thanks,
SoulDriving.

[header=0][b]**Update - Custom game: Leader & Squad**[/b][/header]

This game type remains the same as normal slayer, but there is a catch.

There is always 1 leader in the team for each team. The difference between a 'leader' and a 'squad member' is that leaders get special benefits. I can't remember the details at the moment, but leaders get 1 more of each grenade ('Squad members' receive 2 Plasma grenades and 2 Frag grenades). The health regeneration & shield regeneration are enhanced. Because of the difficulty of defeating the leader, you receive a total of 6 points.

The maximum amount of points a team can get is 200 points and you have 15 minutes to accomplish that.
