I am looking for a list of maps with links for the forge contest winners, community voted winners and the best maps presented to ForgeHub. This will include all game types and genres such as aesthetic, mini game, competitive, flood, etc. I would appreciate any and all assistance in finding these maps. The maps will be placed in a community showcase that shows the talent here at the ForgeHub, both past and present. Thank you. Absolute Dog
If you're wanting to do this, I would change the name from "Best Forge Maps of the ForgeHub" to "Best Competitive Maps of the ForgeHub". Because that's pretty much the only type of maps that is being recognized on this site.
Thanks for the input. I was hoping this community had a listing of event winners or possibly a 'best of' section where maps were listed. I have looked and found only a long list of maps so far.
Well, I have a thread for you where you can find a list of all winners from ForgeHub Favorites (FHF). However, again, these are mostly competitive maps, and even though most members prefer that type of maps, I don't agree that they are also necessarily a representation of the best maps the community has to offer as there are plenty of good minigames, Flood maps and race maps that don't get the publicity they deserve.
I could have sworn that I posted here... We have an archive of Forge Hub Favorites in the Halo Discussion ( think that's where it is), but as far as the 'best maps', nothing's been done for Halo 4 yet. I'm also not sure what you're talking about with this contest? care to explain for us?
You can also head here - Featured Maps That place is where we store all of our Featured Maps. The best of the rest essentially.
Same thing though. Destitute in Chains is the ONLY Infection map in Halo 4 that got featured. And there are barely any Minigames either. And no Race maps at all.
I appreciate all of the responses and links. Maybe, since this site is the 'ForgeHub', you should find the gems from the past and present and give the and their makers their due. Would make for a good voting series for the site and shake the dust off some oldies but goodies. Just a thought. Realize I missed a question. I guess on a site were maps mainly get featured, I figured there would be some kind of a monthly, quarterly or half year voting on the best maps per game type. I have reviewed the site on occasion in the past, but had not delved deep into all of the forums and sub forums. Thanks again.
Oh, I hadn't realized you linked. Yeah, we're going to try and get more diverse features out there. since we have a new and diverse staff now, it shouldn't be so tough.
This website saw very little activity in Halo 4 b/c for 3-4 months after launch there was no online filesharing system so there was no way for players to effectively share or download maps. By the time 343 got the fileshare working, the population of the game dropped substantially as did the content produced by the community. OP, your concerns are something that we plan to address.
We used to have a best of forge voted by the community every half a year but it stopped after halo 3 I believe. It was still archived before the renovations but I'm not sure if it still is.
Yeah, about that, I was wondering if maybe there could still be some kind of Best of Forge '12 now that there's a whole new staff and all? I mean, honestly the reason that "nobody bothers about the previous Halo game anymore" is bullsh*t at this point, since not too many people even care about Halo 4 anymore anyway. There's no point in getting stuck with content from the newest Halo game purely for population sakes since Halo Reach is still a popular game and I think a lot of people would agree that it would actually be refreshing to see some Halo Reach content again for once. And like I said, it's not like Halo 4 is so freaking popular that nobody even wants to think about Reach anymore.
