I'm getting REALLY sick of all these half assed projects, where people are happy to call them "done" when they still have major issues and problems.

Most notably this Halo 3 content, ranging from more grenade types, that "elephant" bubble shields, aand grav lifts. This can also be applied to maps, which are half of a base and then a box.

So here's a rule that I live by.

<font size="8">IF YOU CAN'T DO IT WELL, THEN DON'T DO IT AT ALL</font size=8>

I work on most of my projects till there error free or to how I like them the most. Masters is right, if you cant do any better then a half ass map liek hugeass dont do it.

that is to say people shouldn't post incomplete work hoping to learn from the advice other forum goers give, or to ask questions, but make sure your work is really done before you say it is.

yea but that doesn't mean they should release what they do if it sucks

My god some of you are daft. I never said don't try to learn, I said don't attempt projects if you're only going to go halfway, or are forced to go halfway. No where did I say that you "shouldn't try" to do good.

Yeah, in case you didn't notice, there are OTHER words above it, so don't try to make me look like a fool by taking things I say out of context.

I'm saying if you are trying to do something that won't ever work righ tin the game, or you have no intent on finishing, then don't do it at all.

Well...this is interesting.

Nice to see you to Salminader, and it apears your brain still hasn't developed the ability to process information.

GOD forbid someone comes out and says they are sick of people releasing unfinished projects and saying they're done, or starting something that can't be completely finished and when they realize it, they release it anyway.

I find it actually qute funny you diagree with me here, seeing as how you often say you don't release your projects because they're not good enough or done.

Next time pick the side of an argument you're actually on, rather than whatever yea rold grudge you're still holding.

Wow what a spam thread. This will get deleted soon enough. And actually I kind of agree both ways. Yes it isn't right to release half-assed works but to them they seem done. You have to look on both sides before you can pick a side.

i agree with masters on this one and sadly i am one of those that have done half as jobs but not anymore i try my best and im still learning. but if you want to have a girl fight pm is your answer !
("girl fight"not trying to be sexist but best way to put it)

Actually there are lots of different things that bother me about this forum, community and life in general but u just cant go whining about it because then all u are is a whiner.

NOBODY LIKES A WHINER.

Who gives a **** if a project isn't finished/well done. Your basically saying "If your not going to finish/do a good job on a project, then just say screw it and don't get any practice".

You know the only way people are going to learn is by doing, plain and simple.
Oh yeh, theres no rule forcing you to download a bad map.
Nao lock this flamefest :D

Masterz people do this as a hobby and they just want to have fun.

I've made enough half-ass maps. And as we speak the cumminity is getting n00byier.

I'm sure you couldn't do it well when you started. Don't forget, you were a noob to.

^

Although, I sort of agree with Masters in the fact that I don't think people should post unfinished/rehashed maps/mods. I don't think telling someone not to try is a real dick move, I'm learning this **** as I go and I think it's great for people to be ambitious when they have a community such as Halomaps here to help.

^

I agree, but of all the mods I make, only 4% of them generally go out for public distribution, I mostly keep them to a few friends.

I'm glad that you can tell what Masters is saying for him, since he obviously can't for himself. Why don't you read a post or two? Masters made a point that he never said anything about practicing. Also, let's use your logic here for a second. Masters was saying if a project isn't going to work out well, then don't do it. Well, let's take chains' elephant for example. It doesn't work... really at all. At least not in ce. Well, what did he learn from making that mistake? Oh, maybe it's that he WASTED HIS TIME making something that would never work and he could have saved himself the trouble. Sounds to me like Masters was trying to help, good argument man.

Yeah? How about you do better.

Dude, your not close to being a pro.

He's 12, what do you expect from a kid who just realized he can reproduce.

*Sigh*

10 is kind of young.. I reaized when I was 12.
It was a cold windy night, no creatures were stirring 'cept for napalm
from the bedroom arose such a clatter, the sound of a hand rubbing up the shaft,
then I couldnt fall asleep again that night I was liek omg I jakd of!

ODX is 13, or so I thought. And what does age have to do with this?

I learned at age 8. Also, gross.

age has nothing to do with it, in fact i have just recently started talking to a 6th grader whose work is impressive compared to alot of the stuff i see here.
what we are talking about here is released projects. a box with random vehicles and guns thrown in is not a completed project. most of the guns has terrible errors that make them hideous.
whoever thought he meant that people shouldn't try, use your head. hes saying hes sick of released projects that aren't complete. think for a second instead of arguing with masters becuase you have a problem with him. practice all you want, make as many box maps as you want, thats not what masters means. hes saying that hes sick of seeing every single one released.

I'm realizing how active this forum is, I took a break at some other forums.. this is like IMing.

This community can easily drift off-topic. -_-

I am tired of people thinking all 12 year olds are immature. Most are, but some aren't. I try as hard as I can not to be, as some of the other 15 and 16 year olds do. We're all humans, you do realize.

honestly, anyone in highschool will tell you, seniors are less mature than freshman so i mean, come on now, dont judge people by their age. thats just ignorant

Masters isn't leaving, heck, NO ONE wants Masters to leave.

That'd be the only time I go there.
