A lot of these maps are fun but have terrible balance :|
not to mention it would be kind of fucking selfish for us to expect 343 to take time out of their tight schedule working on meeting deadlines and finishing their own project to work on our shit don't you think??
So, I'm selfish then. But maybe you are right, let's not try anything.
I have absolutly no ego problem to give my work to 343, if they can make the map accessible to the mainsteam.. It's a dream I would love to see become real. At least I'd prefer that than making maps for 500 hundred people, but if that's the "good mapper's" goal, then good for them.
no offense meant bro!
it's just, from the outside looking in there's a lot people don't know about game developement. people assume the developers are constantly throwing around random ideas and working on all sorts of content, when the reality of it is there are lock downs, and set areas of focus. everything is extremely structured and planned. by the time the first reveal of any sort of gameplay is shown to the public, games often times have pretty much most of their plan and design set in stone.
perhaps it's elitist of me, but the naivety of people on the outside looking in hoping to communicate directly with the company is concerning -- I recall all sorts of times members of certain forums wanted to get in contact with a bungie representative or designer to ask how to make a certain weapon or get their map put into the game or something along those lines.
you know what though? go post about it on their forums. if there's enough hype around anything, odds are they'll consider it. consider being the keyword. they'll treat it as a suggestion -- and in the game development industry, many suggestions, including internal suggestions, are often turned down. they already have professional producers and designers making the game. they don't want non-employees and fans backseat driving their project. the closest you'll get is a response to feedback from public testing -- and even then it's never guaranteed things will get changed.
There's no harm in trying. The chances are pretty slim, but i'd blow a load if I could play fissurefalls on reach.
