    That's exactly what I did, and I was just wondering what the limit was, I figured it would be one, but I found Headhunter on my map pretty darn fun too, so I just wanted to check. Thanks for letting me know, and I am eager for this contest to officially begin, I want to see how my super-simple yet pretty grid floored map stacks up against these other crazy complex ones.

    I highly recommend everyone submits their map to the TG at least once before the submission thread opens. Their input will prove invaluable for improving your map.

    Lol, you guys have been slow lately anyways. Hardly that many submissions. Someone has to keep you in business.

    That is, if they even decide to give any input to begin with considering it isn't a 100% guarantee that your map wont be skipped over.

    Sure, that happens. But the point is they do try to get done what they can and when your map is tested they always seem to give great feedback. Sure, I have had a map skipped over before, and Im sure others have as well, but we cant expect them to be perfect and they do have a life outside Halo Reach.

    I notice we've been pushed back a page and it has been a couple days since anyone posted. Here's a bump so anyone who might be interested in participating doesn't miss it. I know I hardly go beyond the first page myself :p

    Tut tut tut, bad Frozen for bumping.

    Back on topic:

    Any news on when the submissions will be opened, it might engage some more interest in the competition again. :)

    I reckon the submissions should be open on the 1st of July and run until the 31st of August. Yesno? 2 months is heaps of time, not to mention that some of us started at least 2 weeks ago.

    Seconded. Ive basically got the layout of my map finished, in the refining stage now. Weapons are placed, just got to do the spawns and objective gametypes, then Im submitting it to TG and running testing sessions of my own. For those of you who are interested, this is the link to the preview thread for my map for this contest. Its basically the same as the layout concept, with a few changes that had to be made due to budgetary reasons. I will be posting another preview thread shortly with screenshots and minimal info, and at that time I will ask a mod to close the previous thread.

    Also, this thread should be stickied. I think its important enough to warrant it, as its a contest that has received a bit of attention and some people who may be interested may miss out if it slips onto the second page. I know I rarely venture into second-page territory, so Id wager others would be the same. Anyone else agree (about the sticky)?

    I'm already in the thick of testing so opening soon is fine with me.

    Alright, I'm going to announce that the submission thread will be opened at the start of July and run through August 31st as suggested by Crypto nv and ♥Sky. This way people who are further along can get their stuff up and those who haven't heard of the contest yet will have plenty of time to start.

    Can this map be anything, casual, aesthetic, mini game? or does it have to be competitive.
