    Made my first FC5 map ... so how do I play it?

    Hi there,

    Just made my first FC5 map Called "TAW_Square".
    Luckily I know my way around the editor as I made loads of maps in FC2 and FC3 already. But still costs me few days with loads in details inside.
    Proud of myself.

    But now what ..how do I get my map noticed? How can I play it myself with others to test it.
    And how can I participate in map jams?

    Because I am not only one mapping it I saw. Do I advertise?

    Unfortunately, the Arcade is not much of a help. I published my map and in 2 days I got 3 plays and 1/5 stars. Even made a trailer and posted screenshots on twitter, still nothing.

    At the moment there's only two ways:

    1. Play through random multiplayer matches until you get to pick a map, then hope it gets voted for. (This can and will take a while.) It does help when you're in a party joining public games together.
    2. Launch a private match. This currently requires 12 friends so only feasible when you've got a dedicated group of people online.

    There's no quick and easy way unfortunately.

    The better your screenshot is, the better chance people will vote for your map. You have to consider that there is a very limited amount of time for people to vote on maps, so need to make sure your pic stands out.
