Conquest In Matchmaking: Final Map Vote

[Gunnergrunt]

Whoa, since when did the poll options turn into hyperlinks? Very cool! A big thanks to whoever took the time to do that

Sorry, B3NW. You know the reasons. But if you would still like to join in the customs on Friday, feel free to join either myself of Phoenix of Wei

I was wondering, have you already talked to bungie and them say they said they would look into it or are you just hoping that they will listen? Because the chances of this happening are much much higher if youve already talked to members of bungie

Ya i love The Station but atlas says any maps that have the use of man cannon's or grav lifts to keep players inside maps are not allowed on MM, why im guessing lag issues and it'l distract players making them try to get out of the map.

Though the hollow looks very nice i didnt really like it gameplay wise. Im gonna have to go with heli-pad, and you can bet i will be there on friday.

The Conquest Customs party I will be hosting starts in one hour. Members of the B.net group who signed up get top priority in the party when it comes to invites/overflow. We will play all 10 maps in the poll, continue to test Conquest v5, and then test new Conquest maps if anyone has any (I know LA Shooter has one to test).

See you guys there! 10 player max. The second host starts his customs at 7 PM EST

EDIT: Conquest Customs went very well! We ran a constant 10 player party and played a decent game on every single map. Conquest v5 continues to play well also. The BR takes a little getting used to, but everyone enjoyed the gametype! Here are the results if anyone is interested (that's right, I got a killtacular/exterm on Socratic):

Socratic Method
The Cellars
Heli-Pad
The Station
Chasm v2
Gold Rush
Artifacts
The Hollows
Messiah
Of The Essence




The results are tallied up!
Your top five Conquest maps are:

1. The Hollow- 78
2. Gold Rush- 62
3. The Cellars- 51
4. Messiah- 48
5. Socratic Method- 48

1st runner-up: Of the Essence- 46

Wow those are the same 5 I nominated :)

None are budget glitched - that will make things much easier. I'm pretty sure Messiah will need a new name, though.

Yeah, these will require very little adjustment. You think Messiah will need a new name? I hadn't thought of that. It doesn't -Blam!- or anything does it? I'll talk to Timothy about it today

[Predicide]

It doesn't -Blam!- but the rules for maps posted to Atlas will surely apply to us. Basically they're very sensitive to anything that could be seen as any non-Halo IP or anything that could be offensive to anyone. When I posted Lao Tzu Pagoda I changed the name to Lao Chan Pagoda because Lao Tzu is a religious figure. Messiah is a religious word, and a rather sensitive one at that. They won't put it in matchmaking with that name.

Here's the Atlas rules, it might be a good idea to give all the maps the scrutiny needed to meet Atlas standards.

Ah, i see. Very true. I will ask the creator what he thinks of this. I'm fairly up to date on the Atlas rules, but I didn't consider the name i suppose. I'll OK all the maps with Atlas one last time as we try and nail down the CPU traits for the v5

Am I right in thinking that V5 includes headshot immunity?
And is this the version that will be used in matchmaking?
