Throughout 2015, there was only 1 update on Halomaps. However, we at CE3 released what people submitted to us at HMU.HaloCE3.com so there were still some releases throughout 2015. Take a poll deciding what you thought was the best! If I am missing a map (submit to HMU next time plz), let me know right away so it can be added. Take Poll Now!

I never understood why Halomaps updates in spurts instead of just auto updating like other modding sites. I get the whole quality control thing with making sure maps work, but I think people would rather have a few bad apples versus waiting nearly a whole year and having to search youtube/random sites to get new stuff. It seems very backwards and old fashioned. It kinda hurts new maps too since most people/servers only get their content from here.

Because the person responsible set up the policy back when they cared enough to actually be involved. This is no longer the case.

It kinda hurts new maps too since most people/servers only get their content from here. Let me know when you're paying for the hosting of a myriad of map files every month, and opening it up for gigabytes more of terrible maps that at most won't be worthwhile/work. Great idea dude, sounds like you really thought that one through.

UXB (Dennis' website management company, AKA the contract we're all bound to when it comes to using HaloMaps) contractually only lets employees of his company operate the website... which includes the process of moderating forums and testing/approving all the maps. And it seems like Dennis doesn't want any subordinates to help handle HaloMaps...(?)

And i thought we were done with the halo online trolls. ( sighs heavily and gets back to work on a ce map)
Halo online and tsce were two completely seperate things, halo online was cool to get but i have poured more hours into tsce than halo online

I don't understand why Dennis doesn't just IP ban all his accounts or something. Or maybe this guy literally uses a different IP every login session. Now that's some commitment.
Also, done my part with the votes. ;)

Great idea dude, sounds like you really thought that one through. Woah, easy there tiger. I must've missed the memo about you being the official Halomaps spokesperson. I meant no offense, sir. ;) I doubt there would be thousands upon thousands of gigabytes of stuff being uploaded. Maybe 10 or so years ago, sure, but nowadays there's not many maps being made.

Just by briefly glancing at Dennis' HaloMaps Twitter account and looking at the map rejection notices, it looks like AT THE VERY LEAST (there's probably more) two or three rejected maps/assets for every one that's accepted.
*cough cough* Dennis, you know what's the actual rejection rate? I'm kinda curious now lol
