Most definitely I will be involved in this, provided more information. Are you trying for a specific theme or play style, or is it just freestyle collaboration?

Pretty much solved now, at the sacrifice of a good layout. Anyways, sorry for the insanity, I was pretty upset. :/

Is there any chance of a patch? There has to be a way to fix it. If the devs can make big maps without breaking the lighting, what's stopping the forgers? I don't see why 343 can't put just a little more effort into giving us the proper tools to make a map.

Where's my water? Also, the thing about Forge World was not its size--it was its varied landscape all in one location, so you could combine the different sceneries and textures to create something unique. You could use the Alaska and the Beach, you could use the Island and the Lagoon, the Coastline and the cliff faces, the Montana and the Canyon, the Montana and the Alaska, the Coastline and the beach, the Quarry and the Coliseum, the list goes on.

I AM SO TICKED OFF RIGHT NOW! I was making a subway-themed Flood map on erosion and I got EXACTLY the lighting I wanted, the PERFECT amount of exposure, barely any light with just the perfect amount of light to give it that creepy, gritty feeling. Then, with more than HALF MY BUDGET LEFT, I place the last room of my masterpiece. THEN THE DYNAMIC LIGHTING STOPS WORKING! THIS HAS RUINED MY ENTIRE MAP! MY DARK, CREEPY TUNNELS ARE NOW BATHED IN GREEN LIGHT! I PUT MY HEART AND SOUL INTO THIS MAP! IT WAS GOING TO BE MY BEST ONE YET! IT WAS EXACTLY AS I HAD PICTURED IT! THEN THE AMAZING NEW LIGHTING SYSTEM FREAKS ON ME BECAUSE I USED LESS THAN HALF MY BUDGET! HOLY CRAP, 343, MY MAP IS RUINED NOW! THE ONLY WAY TO GET MY LIGHTING BACK IS TO DELETE A ROOM! MY MAP IS GOING TO BE A PIECE OF CRAP NOW BECAUSE I CAN'T HAVE BOTH BASIC STRUCTURES AS WELL AS A ROOM WITH LINE OF SIGHT BLOCKERS! WHY WOULD YOU GIVE US THIS LIGHTING SYSTEM WHEN IT ONLY WORKS FOR HALF OUR BUDGET? I EXPECT A PATCH!

I just think there should be a forum for maps that don't really fit into any category, maps that are their own thing. Not quite mini game, but not quite competitive.

Gamertag: NOBLE E 2552 Map: Urban Scenery Description: This map demonstrates a number of urban-themed aesthetic pieces and techniques, such as a food stand, movie theatre entrance, car, parking meter, stop light, skyscraper, and an incredibly detailed school bus with an explosive underside. (Currently I have no photo available nor a link as my browser is too old to use Waypoint, but I assure you, you will not be disappointed.)
