    With each month that passes, the Halo community continues to surprise us with the unique maps created in Halo 5’s Forge mode on both Xbox One and Windows 10. To celebrate the Halo World Championship, we’ve partnered with Paramount Pictures and the upcoming film Ghost in the Shell, and are excited to reveal the Forge community’s next challenge - the Ghost In the Shell Halo 5 Forge Contest!

    At the Halo World Championship Finals next month in sunny Southern California, audience members will be able to go hands-on with an awesome new Ghost in the Shell experience built with Forge. This is where you come in. The winner of this contest will not only have their map played by everyone at the event, but will also be flown out as a special guest and enjoy the show live!

    Based on creativity, originality, usability, and likeness to the ‘Ghost in the Shell’ description, a panel of judges – selected from the various Forge communities, the team here at 343 Industries, and Paramount Pictures – will choose the top three winners. The contest begins now and entries must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. PT on March 12, 2017 here on the Halo Waypoint Forums. To learn how to submit your entry, head here.

    The top 3 winners will receive:
    • 1st Prize – Paid trip to the Halo World Championship 2017 Finals in Burbank, California
    • 2nd Prize – Covenant Prize Pack – Replica Needler by NECA, Halo Wars 2 Brute Spike Rifle by BOOMco, Covenant Ghost
    • 3rd Prize – Spartan Prize Pack – Athlon and Master Chief customizable Spartans, and Mark V and Mark VI Art FX packs by Kotobukiya
    DESIGN RULES AND GUIDELINES
    • Maps created must at a bare minimum support Slayer game mode
    • Maps must support 2-8 players
    • Maps must use the Active Camo powerup (On map pickups or traits)
    • Maps will be judged in part by how closely they recreate the look and feel from the Ghost in the Shell universe based on the reference material and description provided below:
    SCENE DESCRIPTION
    Location: The Lawless Zone

    Date: The Very Near Future

    The battle takes place in a section of the city that was once grand but has been neglected for some time. The ground is littered with debris. There is an abandoned car and towering dilapidated buildings are visible in the distance.

    A gnarled tree rises from the center of what might have been a busy traffic circle. Pillars surround the area and support a circular walkway/overpass 30 feet high that frames the arena.

    The Spider Tank is formidable. Standing 15-20 feet high with 6 legs and 2 heavy machine gun turrets. It shrugs off gun fire. It emerges unexpectedly and ready to do major damage. The Major will need to find a way to get close undetected to succeed…

    Additionally, you should feel free to use the Ghost In The Shell official trailers for extra inspiration. If you’re looking for a few more angles of this area specifically, you can find them at around the 2-minute mark in the trailer below.[​IMG]

    We can’t wait to see how Forge and Ghost in the Shell collide for this contest. Best of luck to all Forgers!

      Building a map with aesthetics based off of broad description, one picture, and 4 seconds of a trailer is going to be tough lol.

      Is this based exclusively off the live action movie or is inspiration from the anime okay?

      So when the contest is judge by how close it references to the source material does that mean you have to create the tree, tank, overpass, ect or does it just have to stay faithful to its universe's theme? If you have to create that specific scene I think I'm out.

      I don't think we need to add a tree or a tank (if we don't want to).
      I think we can take inspiration from the trailer, and i guess the manga/anime as well (since the universe *should be* the same, and the rules don't forbit).

      But if i'm wrong i'm glad to correct myself.

      I don't know if i will partecipate.
      It would be interesting, but i don't know much about this series.
      I got some information about the anime, there are many locations you can make, the basics of the scenario are the following:
      ·Every aesthetic places from the current present (ex: a shop, a church, a school, a car) must be showed "destroyed".
      ·Every aesthetic places from the future must look dirty.
      · All technologies must look like sofisticated, above all robots. Some of them *might* be colored.
      · Primary colors must be neutral (white, grey, black).
      · Only lights can have particular colors (green, blue, purple, red, etc...). But don't put so many lights. The focus on the scenario must be how destroyed the outside world is.

      In the end, this reminds me of Destiny for scanario and Metal Gear Solid for robots.
      I think it could work.
      But i think i will skip this contest, i would like to partecipate in something of simpler (since i'm "technically" new in forge).

      I'll be giving this one a go. Already have a nice layout brewed up and made the tank + knarled tree. I also found a lot of great concept art, just google ghost in the shell concept art. Lots of great pics to pull from

      343i Aesthetics really aren't bad as standalone pieces, they just don't convey the right emotions bungie spent so long perfecting for the halo universe.

      95% of what's posted on online forums is bitching, including your post. Bitching is basically the only thing that keeps forums going.
