    In a collaborative effort between 343 Industries and ForgeHub, we are excited to announce this contest as our next galactic stepping stone on our way to ushering in our ultimate goal of (world domination) bringing about excellent community created content to the Halo-loving public! With the updates to MCC looming over the horizon like a mysterious silhouetted super soldier, what better way to build up hype than a new forge contest?

    ​

    ​
    The Halo 2 Anniversary: Forgetacular is a map building competition unlike any other in recent ForgeHub history. Let's go over the basics to give you a better understanding of how this contest will differ from previous ones such as the Grand Prix.

    • 4v4 Core Maps
    • Only maps created with Halo 2 Anniversary's forge are permitted to enter
    • NO TIME RESTRICTIONS ON BUILDING. Let me reiterate that. You may enter maps that are already completed into this contest!
    • 3 map submission limit
    • Maps MUST be set up for a minimum of TWO core gametypes! (Slayer, Ricochet, KOTH, CTF 1-Flag, CTF 2-Flag, Oddball, Assault, Territories)

    Judges:
    Nitroo
    The 0micron
    Shooty Person

    Round One of Judging begins at the submission deadline date of June 10th. Round One will see our three judges narrow the search to just 10 maps, which will be announced publically once they have been selected. Then, ForgeHub will hand the figurative reins over to 343 Industries as they narrow those 10 maps down to the chosen 3 with some in-house playtesting!    ​

      It is not a given that they will make it into matchmaking. 343 has to approve them.
      Prizing clearly states the following, "...And their map will be placed directly into the H2A playlist pending 343 approval."

      This is truly awesome stuff! I look forward to all the submissions. And I hope 3 will be seen by 343i as worthy of MMing inclusion.

      I liking that this contest has been received well. I know some of the forgers who submitted their maps during the H2A era are looking forward to this. Some of those maps were fantastic and with the removal a 'time created' on the submissions, I should expect to see some worthy submissions!

      Look forward to judging them!

      I just noticed the judges. No offense nitro, but If I had any interest before, I don't anymore.

      Yeah, I was just assuming that since your studio is already apparently determining the top 3, that they would be choices that are viewed as suitable for the playlist. I suppose it's possible that there may not be 3 that are considered suitable for the playlist, but I'd be really surprised. There were plenty of decent 4v4 maps built in H2A. You know what they say about assuming though.

      I tried doing a block-out in H2A forge...what takes me 5 minutes to do in Halo 5 took me almost an hour. I don't think I can go back. :(

      Did my post seriously get deleted? Is it really that controversial that I think competence is more important than staff membership? If you're going to host a competition, it seems to make sense that we would want people who have proven themselves, instead of just picking staff members. Especially since the last competition was judged so swiftly and effectively without any controversy BECAUSE we chose people with experience and merit rather than just picking admins.

      It's pretty absurd that my posts that don't break ANY rules are getting deleted, just because someone doesn't like my opinion.

      "...someone doesn't like my opinion." You ought to spend more time on the Waypoint forums.

      The comments were becoming too off topic for this thread, so as a reminder please stay on topic about the announcement and also keep things friendly :)

      I wasn't the one that deleted the comments, but like Wolf said, we (staff included) were getting off topic. We can discuss competency in PM's or somewhere else if you choose to desire that sort of thing. Because I would love to discuss this more with you personally.
