I laugh when people say this, half of them are not even capable of making a MA map period.

Much less willing to spend hundreds of hours building one....

Amazing you could actually recruit that much suck into one squad.

I will pay $500 bucks for a MA terrain, it must be built to my specs, approved by HTC and eventually in game.

Nothing funky required, will even put the money in escrow.....

Why laugh? If they can't then learn. Terrains take tons of time, someone has to do them.

Again, I will laugh at people who make these statements....half the people who set out will never have the skill to create a MA quality map.

You can teach anyone to drive, only a few will ever excel at it though.

For the same reason I laugh when said skilless dweeb states "I think we need new maps." 

Like HTC will just whip out a new map like it takes no time or effort.

  Really I laugh at the OP more than anything else in this thread and have to agree with people that say "Then make one".   Yes the people that say go make one may not have the skill or time to make one but the OP should give it a try first before making posts like this and see just how hard it is.

  I myself have tried and got most of the way through a rough draft of one before it got put on the back burner but was lucky enough to have someone else pick up the project, make some changes, get it submitted and we now fly on it..

  Hmm I just had a thought for a new one....

 But seriously JR. if your going to post like this maybe you could at least draw up and post a pic of a MA idea you had. That way if it's at least some form of serious idea with a little thought in it maybe others would help to fine tune it and even if you don't have the skill or time to work on it yourself someone else might.   Make the thread constructive instead  of just more spam on the forum.

Are there any good map making "tutorials" out there?  I'd like to play around with making one, but have absolutely no idea on where to start.

A very wise old man once said to me. "If you don't like the way things are then change them. If you are not willing to do what it takes to change things, then don't complain."

In other words if you are not willing to make a new terrain then don't come in here saying we need one. Those that have already said  "Then make one" are spot on. They are not making one but they are not the ones that come in saying we need it either.

It does require loads of time and patience to make a terrain that works well, not to mention the imagination it takes to come up with an idea that gets peoples attention, but you should not stand around waiting for someone else to do it, just because you don't have what it takes to make it.

I have tried messing around with the TE but unfortunately my computer locks up evertime I try it. Therefore I won't be on the boards asking everybody else to make one.
