After dying, a message appears that says "Killstreak reset to 0" or something similar. It would be nice if instead it said "Your Killstreak of {kills} has been reset" so that we know how good/bad the previous life was. This post was edited by chronospectrum at February 10, 2021 12:28 PM PST

It's not an easy program to learn, and if you don't have the patience to learn some pretty complex controls and features, it's hard to make something that looks like it belongs with the maps that come with the game. Yeah. It's pretty complex and a bit difficult. I feel personally Max should implement some sort of requirements for the creation of custom maps. I don't recall if that is already a thing or not. It is not a thing. So long it has all the spawn points/armories/etc somewhere in the map, there is no other requirement to publishing a map. The voting system is *supposed* to filter out bad maps, but even lazy maps like Jets Arena get through the system.

Testament said: Yeah. I feel like there isn't much balance in most custom maps anymore. They are either too small, and encourage farming and spawn trapping, or they are one huge map that provides little cover, and is just not really fun to play on. Then there are other maps were there is just too many props and moving objects for the space provided, which makes gameplay in them not that fun. Most custom maps are made for only a couple sole purposes, Farming xp or just the ability to say that "I created a map" which usually means that the map isn't made that well and not that aesthetically pleasing due to the lack of effort or experience with Unity.

Testament said: This is why in Call of Duty there is spawn point rotation. Exactly this. It's also why Elimination (and the nuke mode variant) is so good, spawns can't be camped. TDM is chaotic by nature, but fixed spawns means that someone is always going to get camped. Perfectly balanced teams just don't happen. Switching all spawnpoints to be rotational, choosing the point farthest from enemies at any given time, might help this issue. That would almost certainly need to be playtested and would break most custom maps.   Mechanics aside, some custom maps are really indefensible aesthetically. You can argue that Voyager isn't fun to play on, but you can't tell me that something like Snow War took the same amount of effort to try and look cohesive, and fit with the maps built into the game.   paco42 said: In Bunker, fighting will take place mostly in the corridor that connects the spawning spots. The rest is pretty much wasted. You do not have those issues with Skyhall, for instance. Design and spawning impedes it.   On bunker, I can flank around the main halllway from two other paths, three if you count coming in the back door on the canyon side. Skyhall is ONE room that you can't go through without getting shot from some side tunnels. It's not the worst map in the game, but it's certainly not great.
