Our baby is back again, and looking better than ever. Let's kick off our reunion with a BANG!


BEGIN TRANSMISSION
Hello Hubbers. Halo 5 forge has launched and a new era is upon us. To commemorate this grand occasion, Forgehub is breaking radio silence to announce a 2v2 Slayer forge map contest. There's no time to waste. Dive right in and get your hands dirty because the 2v2 Throwdown contest is ON!


GOING LOUD
Q. What maps can I forge on?
A. Your map can be forged on one of the blank canvases - Alpine, Glacier, Parallax, or Breakout Arena. It can also be forged on any of the Halo 5 disc maps, however they can ONLY be used as a blank canvas. You CANNOT use existing geometry on disc maps.

Q. Are there age requirements?
A. No. Anyone who submits a map will be eligible to claim a prize.

Q. Can I co-forge with my friend(s)?
A. Yes! We love seeing community collaboration, so co-forging is allowed. However, be aware that your map must have a primary author who will receive any contest winnings.

Q. Are remakes from (insert game here) allowed?
A. Yes, however it is extremely unlikely that a remake will win any prizes because it will automatically receive a low score in the Originality/Creativity judging category.
Anyone found to be plagiarizing maps from other forgers will be disqualified, and shall forever be shunned by the forge community (so don't do it).


SUBMISSIONS
Entries must be submitted no later than 11:59 PM on March 1st, 2016. All submissions should be tailored to 2v2 Slayer gameplay, both in size and in power weapon placement. All submissions will be tested using default slayer settings, so be sure to mold your maps to your liking with that in mind. Judging will commence immediately after the submission deadline and winners will be announced as soon as judging is completed.

To submit your map, simply create an account at www.ForgeHub.com, visit the "Maps" page and click on the "Submit Your Map" icon. Eligible submissions must contain at least 7 images per map. A YouTube gameplay video, or walkthroughs are heavily encouraged as well.
After posting your map, post a link to it in the Throwdown Submission Thread.

SUBMIT YOUR MAPS: HERE


JUDGEMENT DAY
Eligible map submissions will be judged based on:

Game-type Support

• Does the map function for the game-type as necessary? Are all required objects and systems in place to successfully play a game?

Fun-Factor

• Is the map fun to play on? Is the space fun to navigate through? Do the weapons, spawns, and layout promote a positive game experience? Is the map balanced and fair for the given game-type?

Performance

• Does the map suffer from any negative visual or performance issues?

Originality / Creativity

• Is the map interesting and unique in both design and appearance?

JUDGE PANEL

Nothing heats up these cold winter days like the burning desire to take home some of these fantastic prizes!

1st Place - $500

2nd Place - $350

3rd Place - $150

4th Place - our appreciation


THE THROWDOWN
The goal of this contest is two-fold. First we want to find great maps, and then we want to play on great maps! Yes, you heard right. The winning maps chosen from this contest will be played on during an upcoming tournament (so don't tell anyone about the hidden Rocket Launcher that only you know about).

There you have it! Get out there and make us proud, Hubbers.
