Cant wait to call you the two time back to back 2020 2023 2v2 contest champion.

I doubt I have a chance of winning, but excited to share what what I can come up with. My last 2v2 competition was a bit embarrassing since my map was almost too big for a 4v4 haha.

Do we have any updates when submissions open or when the groups to help test forge maps will be made?

Also is this still happening? We have 3 pages of comments for a 10k contest (and I bet forgehub expected more). Not sure how the low activity is affecting this whole thing. Haven't seen much wubwub about it so Im just wondering where things are

Good maps take time to make. Everyone has one submission, so I wouldn't expect a bunch of half assed entries

Are the judging sessions going to be streamed like the last contest? Watching the judges play the maps was really great

Someone asked the same over on the Discord server, SirIronWolf answered it would probably be around the 7th of January hopefully. I hope I've helped

so my map was created before the start date but I didn't even do anything to the file it self until a few days after the start date would this be an exception?

If you didn't do anything to the file, why wouldn't you have just created a new one?

At the time I didn't know about the contest until after we already finished the map, me and my brother built it in an entire weekend, I didn't really think about the initial created date of the file itself I just hopped on it and started forging. Sadly a dumb over sight on my part

I may have a similar problem as Cutoverjester above. Early on I created a clean version of the Void map with only the main large floor and a few of the spawns so I could start new maps relatively fresh without needing to erase all the items over and over.

I made that map originally on 11/25/22 and named it "Void Cleanish Slate."

I'm pretty positive I copied that clean slate map as the beginning for my contest entry map. I began building my contest entry map on 12/26/22. Is there a way on the xbox for me to verify the very first creation date? From what I see when I check the map overview on the xbox, it shows the created date as the date I changed the name, (12/26/22), but I imagine there must be a way to see the original file created date.

Regardless, I need to know if this is a situation that will disqualify my map. Please let me know as soon as possible.

I think i might make a map for this lol...

Sweet I just finished my Helm's Deep Map and mode. This is super exciting. My Forge friends told me about the contest. Yesterday day I built a map and started testing. Can't wait to show it!

Do we have a list of "preferred" weapons/equipment for competitive play? Or is this a "do what you want and we may disagree with it" type situation?

Maybe can you add the discord on the original post?
it's also nowhere else on the website. Im assuming it's not a very private discord

Yo we need more time for this contest!

Everyone I talk to says that we need more time.
Infinite's forge is far more complex than halo 5 and the amount of options we have is expanded too, in order to reach the expected level of quality that we have been shown by the forge council maps we need an extension, 2 months would have been enough time in halo 5 but not in halo infinie. We need more time.

This forge really isn't that different from any other aside from scaling which doesn't take that long to learn. I agreed with you for like the first few days, but the potential of this forge with any prior experience can result in a map faster than any other forge iteration. The rest is just textures and art. It can be done in 2 weeks if u devote every moment of free time. Glitches aren't bad enough to kill it. If you have something that is killing you, there is a work around/scripting aside

Who thinks this contest should be extended by two weeks at the minimum? A month would be preferred.

Dude the lighting changes alone is an astronomical difference, not to mention the amount of textures grimes, scratches, and then there's nav mesh tuning, scripting and before anything accounting for infinite's sandbox is an entirely different beast.

Nav mesh tuning and scripting are not really something I'm worried about. Rest is just more options that I've been wishing for. Really sucks for my map there isnt any placeable water, but whatever. I tried the scripting thing and my water body size is like a large river so it looked like ****. Turned it off immediately. Im settling with the odd killscreen over hardscape.Nav mesh wont work in forge for me. I've given up on it. My map plays bots like any other tho. The nav mesh generation in forge is broken. It actually worked fine in the beginning, but now it won't build. Spent quite a bit of time trying to fix it. Waste.Not like it's a requirement that nav mesh builds for the contest so we all should be good there. I tried publishing for a sec and it worked anyway.
