    I've seen some incredible talent here at forge hub. So I thought I would put this out there. I am challenging you to either:
    A: Create a Reach competetive map that allows player to survive without dying for a long time (10-15 kills) while still being balanced.
    B: Create a survival themed map such as Indiana Jones (please not all the same) or some other nature based obstacle course. NOTE: DO NOT MAKE A PUZZLE MAP, OR A MAP THAT ReQUIRES OVERLY DIFFICULT JUMPS, CROSSING A BRIDGE ABOVE A RIVER OF KILL BALLS IS FINE, JUMPING FROM MIDGET TRIANGLE TO FIXED WEAPON WHILE FUSION COILS RAIN FROM ABOVE IS NOT.
    C: Make an Infection map that features a survival base goal such as The Turbines or No Hope.

    You have your mission. Get out there and Forge. Entries close March 5th. As for rewards. Nothing official but I'll see what I can do.

    Note: In the case of B, make the survival things believable, Rivers for example do not fly through the sky. And just to clarify, NO OBSTACLE COURSES.

    Oh, I've got such an awesome idea for C... The fun is not in the goal, but in the journey, and this would be no exception. But can I make it in time? Hm...

    I'll give it a shot, OP.

    for david, good on you glad you're giving it a go, as for seredhras, not everyone get killstreaks i mean a map where the skilled players can't be picked off by noobs or lucky shots, a map with constantly interrupted lines of sight or large amounts of cover (i mean LARGE amounts of cover) will do the trick, ive seen a map in halo3 where objects were positioned so that autoaim couldnt keep up with the player, this map allowed skilled players to basically never die while unskilled players who rely on cheap tactics were pwned, funnily enough it was still evenly balanced.

    There are no cheap tactics, only effective or ineffective tactics. If someone is getting killed by noobs perhaps they overestimate their own skill level?

    when aforementioned noobs spam grenades at a skilled player and a combination of auto aim and lag caused the skilled player to be simmultaneously headshotted and blown up by 15 grenades. then you're skill level has nothing to do with it. and dont post unless you have a map.

    My Last Resort Series hasn't been posted yet but you can still directly download it from my File Share. And what will the next challenge be?

    Could you please make it original like a Firefight Challenge where people need to make for example a Mini Game in Firefight.
