    With each month that passes, the Halo community continues to surprise us with the unique maps created in Halo 5’s Forge mode on both Xbox One and Windows 10. To celebrate the Halo World Championship, we’ve partnered with Paramount Pictures and the upcoming film Ghost in the Shell, and are excited to reveal the Forge community’s next challenge - the Ghost In the Shell Halo 5 Forge Contest!

    At the Halo World Championship Finals next month in sunny Southern California, audience members will be able to go hands-on with an awesome new Ghost in the Shell experience built with Forge. This is where you come in. The winner of this contest will not only have their map played by everyone at the event, but will also be flown out as a special guest and enjoy the show live!

    Based on creativity, originality, usability, and likeness to the ‘Ghost in the Shell’ description, a panel of judges – selected from the various Forge communities, the team here at 343 Industries, and Paramount Pictures – will choose the top three winners. The contest begins now and entries must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. PT on March 12, 2017 here on the Halo Waypoint Forums. To learn how to submit your entry, head here.

    The top 3 winners will receive:
    • 1st Prize – Paid trip to the Halo World Championship 2017 Finals in Burbank, California
    • 2nd Prize – Covenant Prize Pack – Replica Needler by NECA, Halo Wars 2 Brute Spike Rifle by BOOMco, Covenant Ghost
    • 3rd Prize – Spartan Prize Pack – Athlon and Master Chief customizable Spartans, and Mark V and Mark VI Art FX packs by Kotobukiya
    DESIGN RULES AND GUIDELINES
    • Maps created must at a bare minimum support Slayer game mode
    • Maps must support 2-8 players
    • Maps must use the Active Camo powerup (On map pickups or traits)
    • Maps will be judged in part by how closely they recreate the look and feel from the Ghost in the Shell universe based on the reference material and description provided below:
    SCENE DESCRIPTION
    Location: The Lawless Zone

    Date: The Very Near Future

    The battle takes place in a section of the city that was once grand but has been neglected for some time. The ground is littered with debris. There is an abandoned car and towering dilapidated buildings are visible in the distance.

    A gnarled tree rises from the center of what might have been a busy traffic circle. Pillars surround the area and support a circular walkway/overpass 30 feet high that frames the arena.

    The Spider Tank is formidable. Standing 15-20 feet high with 6 legs and 2 heavy machine gun turrets. It shrugs off gun fire. It emerges unexpectedly and ready to do major damage. The Major will need to find a way to get close undetected to succeed…

    Additionally, you should feel free to use the Ghost In The Shell official trailers for extra inspiration. If you’re looking for a few more angles of this area specifically, you can find them at around the 2-minute mark in the trailer below.[​IMG]

      This is a joke right? Not really the contest for co forging haha. 343i says the top prize is valued at 2000$ USD. I'll bet anyone would just rather have that lol

      Not a joke. Contest rules state that the winner would get to bring a guest.

      Additionally, prizes cannot be redeemed for cash value.

      Yes. I actually read all of the contest rules

      You throw Scarlett Johansson in the mix, and what you want is for her to play on - - your map?

      This really makes me worry about the quality of the film. If they had to hit up Microsoft and be like "yo", then what other mistakes could they have made?

      That scene in the picture looks horrible. Its just a blue pile of rubble. I would rather choose my own scene from the anime dammit

      The sad part is that most people will focus on building from the scene that has been set up in the contest post, then someone will build something from a completely different part of the story, or something thematic of the series, and will get the win. I fully expect that only one out of the 3 winners will actually include what was requested in the contest post and I wouldn't be surprised if it took third place. That is unless someone really nails the contests request.

      Ha! I just thought of the best phone it in map. Build Quakes - The Longest Yard a hair into the water, throw the tree in the middle of the jumps pad pile, throw the Spider Tank down at the far end, surround the whole thing with dilapidated buildings and set the weather to dark and rainy. Done!

      How about in protest every forger submits their map but the theme has nothing to do with this BS.

      If you're going to go that far why not have everyone submit a map that they have already made. If they're feeling like an overachiever they can change the settings to dark and rainy.

      I'm not huge on almost all aspects of the contest, but it's nice to see them doing these.

      This is very cool that the company acknowledged the forgers. This is also a very great idea for a contest and I would love to forge a map for this, but I won't. I'm at a position where the prizes aren't useful to me. If only, it where money or something like that. All well.

      Well at least I will try to do a map for this. Too bad it overlaps with the extermination contest, so I will choose to focus on this one instead.
