dear god, this thread is a firestorm just waiting to happen, i question the motives of the person who started it and what they hope to achieve?

He wanted a list of overrated maps? I don't see any other motive :/

best campaign but one of the characters (brandon) sounded like a crappy impersonation of a 13 yearold british teen. Sorry but someone had to say it. Also bloodgulch is overated, so many bloodgulches with ai.

You're pathetic.

Of course I didn't want to change your mind even a little, just wanted to show that someone can have fun in Lumoria.

I thought it was fun, but the story was a bit weak

right on time, there he is, the one who has thus proved our point by not reading anything and going straight for the insults. ladies and gents, a round of applause!

The reason the threads including posts with criticism for Lumoria get blocked is because the people here often blur the line between criticism and soapbox ridicule. Also, it's stated in the rules that profanity is prohibited so even if you had a valid point to get off, you've voided it with the profanity (Ie: lumoria sucks ass).

Next thing; The people worked hard on the Lumoria series. Many lending their time, their assets and their voices to cause (whether good or not, they still did). When an artist's work is insulted, they are insulted. In the same sense; When you're insulting someone's work blatantly, you're insulting the person or people as well. It's unfair to do so under any merit. That's why these posts are often locked.

Honestly, it's safe to say that every Halo Custom Edition map is "Overrated" to a degree. We have a lot of ambition and it shows in the work that we do, but in some cases; we give a little too much praise to ourselves and others. While it's not right to outright insult someone's work, it's also not right to say that it's perfect either. Constructive criticism got it's name fr a reason. If we just go by this "if it ain't broke.." mentality, we won't move forward.

That's the mentality of many people on the site as a whole. It shows in the incessant reusing of Halo 2, 3 and Reach assets, the incessant use of CMT assets, the repetition of the way maps are created, etc. We've gotten to a point where "Originality" has lost it's definition. Either we're basing our work off of other's work or we're inspired by other's work. This isn't a flaw but it is something that's prevalent in this community.

Sorry for the tangent, btw.

About overrated maps, I'm gonna go to the other way and say: what about maps that seem and play great but have low ratings? For example: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=6207 After testing other "Valhallas" this one is the best I found. I haven't played it with someone but wow I liked it! So... why it has a 5.8 rating? That's something I've always wanted to ask.

http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=5899 9.2...

I found the forerunner architecture for Lumoria to be awesome. My favorite is the control room interior at the end. The forerunner seems nicely polished. Who did the control room? Or the forerunner architecture? They did a good job on it.

Don't ask. Ratings on this website mean nothing; most of the ratings are influenced by random people who download in favour of a specific OP/Cuul-looking tag that is part of the whole map.

I know ratings rarely mean something.

They al most never show the real quality of the map. But wow, 5.9 is too far! Also the map looks good... isn't it? even if it looks "bad" 5.9 is still pretty low. Even with a good number ratings from "random people who download in favour of a specific OP/Cuul-looking tag that is part of the whole map." 5.9 is very low...

There is.

Select the section you want to view from the left menu example:Halo CE Maps then click on the User ratings link in the column title to toggle sorting by high or low. You can do that for each section.

Go make a fakebumped halo 3 map mod.

Immure and deltaruins. I mean, seriously, who in their right mind wants to play 'infinite caps' CTF on a tiny tiny itty bitty map just to trump their KDR.

Well at least the only ones hosting them are the redundant-retard clans(I'm looking at you, DG and SMG, with your 14(each) STOCK SERVERS). So at least I automatically don't join them .

These maps might be overrated.

I've never actually played lumoria yet, to be honest.

**Points at the door**

Get out.




Lol, jk.
