    We made it folks, it is officially Halo-ween. So a happy Halo-ween to you and yours first of all. Today we are here to announce the results of our Halo-ween prefab contest. If you missed it, then it basically went like this:

    The Creative Force team setup an empty Haunted Mansion forge map waiting to be moved into. With that Haunted Mansion in existence, the Forgehub staff put out a request for the community to populate this with wonderful Halo-ween goodies in the form of prefabs. The end result would consist of various community members winning some Gold REQ packs for their awesome creativity and forging skills based on some indeterminent categories. Like a costume contest, but involving less work for the participants. With all these prefabs and an empty mapt he stretch goal would be to spit out an infection map created by the community by dropping as many prefabs as possible into that Haunted Mansion. A map truly made for the community, by the community.

    With that out of the way, the results are in. The amount of work and creativity that was put into this contest by all of the participants was astounding. We saw expected entries like pumpkins, trees, skeletons, and your assortment of dead things - to be expected for Halo-ween - but we also got some unexpected entires in the form of epic pits of hell, gorgeous furniture that I would put in my house, and super secret trap doors. As communities do, you guys have provided us with a difficult set of decisions. Over the past week, the Forgehub and Creative Force teams went into digging through the many prefabs: exploring their potential, creativity, and sheer awesome.

    Without further ado, your Halo-ween prefab contest winners are:

    ForgeHub and Creative Force will be collaborating on a finished version of the "Haunted Mansion" that will be coming out soon, and fear not - work has already begun on this spooky project. Stay tuned to our Twitter page, as well as this post for more information on that.

    Thank you for all of you who participated and for all of you reading out there. This won't be our last contest that takes advantage of this wonderful new feature. Prefabs are a powerful tool that allows individuals to spend a little time creating a re-usable piece for the community to enjoy. Barrier to entry is extremely low for these types of contests, and with this first one under our belt, we've learned a lot on how it should be managed for the future.

    Thank you again for participating and enjoy the delicious diabetes inducing treats that will be coming your way tonight. ;)

      these look great and I'm glad I recognize some names up there. It'd be really to see some of these thrown onto Halloween themed maps.

      Yeaaah! Amazing works indeed! Congrats to everyone! :D
      I thought my Gorerroted had more potential, but that Hellbound Wall is also freaking creepy. Thanks to the judges, I will look forward future contests like this.


      PS: Don' worry, it won't be the last time you hear about Gorerroted :skull:

      You guys didn't make it easy for us to judge at all, there were so many great submissions and many were beat out by just one vote.

      Damn. 343 running low on the REQ packs. I'm all up for a donation if any of the winners already unlocked everything (lol jk, but seriously maybe)
      I'm honestly surprised i made the list. To assure my victory, I should have stuck to my gut and made a much smaller pumpkin patch lol. Procrastination got the better of me.
      Great work to the prize winners, however much i loathe you.

      Pretty sure you're a winner since your prefab is one of the ones shown. ;)

      OMG I can't believe I won! Congrats to all my fellow winners! And to all that didn't win, I hope you do next time!

      Very true, but i feel like my submission was sloppy, and i probably could have gone further with it, had i not procrastinated lol.

      There were some pretty cool submissions from this so we're installing as many as we can into our Mansion to make it nice and spooky. I just want to personally thank 343 for extending the prizing for this contest. This is the first time we've ever provided prizes from 343 towards a ForgeHub contest, its nice to be reminded how collaborative we can be. We received over a hundred submissions for this contest, however there were 15 that provided something truly special. I just submitted our list of winners to 343, standby and you'll receive the prizing shortly.

      PREFAB FORGE CONTEST WINNERS:
      1. Elliot
      2. datmininguy
      3. ArturBloodshot
      4. Rabid Hogs

      How to Redeem Prizing:
      You will receive a Gold REQ pack automatically in the future. Just make sure to play lots of Warzone (10 matches) and 343 will put it in your inventory. :troll:

      I've gotta start playing some Warzone finally then! XD
      Too long have I put off war on my to-do list.

      This prefab contest idea is superb. The piece-cap at 30 is a good structure/rule and I think that should remain. (Maybe 40-50 for certain subjects)

      Thanks for allowing me to be part of the First 15 Spartans to ever receive a 343 contest reward <3
      It is an honour.

      That is a legitimate concern, thanks for correcting me. I'll make sure to notify 343 about my spelling error. If there are any deviations of gamertag spellings in the list I provided above please let me know. Otherwise, you should all have received 3 Gold REQ packs each by now.

      Am I supposed to have my packs by now? As my gt isn't actually datmininguy, it's aiden red boy , just making sure

      Come on dudes! That's why they asked for the Gamertag, not the ForgeHub profile's name. Admins need the right information to do the job.
      I think by now other players are enjoying some req packs for free .-.
