Hallowen forge contest! (prize included) Hello, forgers i have been planning this forge contest for a week now so im realy soory if someone has already posted a contest like this. Rules of contest: You MUST use foundry. if you steal another map from someone you're gonna get disqualified. Entry must be submitted by 10th november and you must post it in the submission thread. Only allowed to post one map. and it must be an infection map you can't submit a map that was made before october ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Map Rating Criteria: Maps will be judged and reviewed on the following five criteria: Enjoyment: The FUN factor! A high scoring map will have people saying "it's over already?" and "let's play that again!" This is probably the most subjective category, because what is fun for one person might be boring or frustrating for someone else. Balance: "Tank beats everything" is great for Campaign, but not for Multiplayer. A high scoring map will have a counter to every strategy, weapon, vehicle, and piece of equipment. Durability: You can't break this map no matter how hard you try. A high scoring map will work right every time. Players will not be able to escape the play area, will not be able to spawn camp, and will not be able to exploit any features of the map. Aesthetics: So pretty you almost forgot you're supposed to be killing people. A high scoring map will look good, obviously. This doesn't necessarily mean neat and tidy, but the map should have distinct features to help players immerse themselves in the game and orient themselves within the map. Originality: Another death pit? Fail. A high scoring map will help players experience Halo in a way they never have before. This can be done with innovative layouts or original game settings. You don't have to reinvent the wheel, just present something fresh. Each of the above will be rated out of 10. An average of all the scores will be made, and that will be the final score. Just like 'The Furious Review'. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Grand Prize's. 1: prize: 2100 microsoft points. 2: prize: 1800 microsoft points. 3: prize: one month live. so remember that you have the ability to win microsoft points or 1 month live. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- And here's a guide on how to post your map in the submission thread by TEX. 1) Save map 2) Put map on fileshare 3) Go to Bungie.net 4) Go to your halo 3 page 5) Go to your fileshare in said page 6) Copy url (at top of page) 7) Go to this thread: 8) Then enter your map, in the following format: User Name(s): Example text Map Name: (Name must link to map) Did you read and follow instructions: yes/no Gametype: Example text 9) When you post your map on the "Map Name" section, type in "Map name here[/url.] (without the period.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks everyone for competing, and forge well =] Update's: important!

This is much more organized then the other halloween contest, I'll see if I could make a map for this one too.
if u need a judge ill b one too, but if not ill make a map. youre giving me an extremly small amount of time since it takes me about 5-8 weeks to finish a map completly.
ok i send you an pm if i need any judges too. and you're right about the time so im going to extend the time limit with one more week.
Hmm, the promise of MS points peaks my interests... I am not into infection (mostly cause all games I see suck) but I will give this a go.
Quick question though.. I see that we submit our map, but what about gametype? Or are we supposed to use standard Infection?
Your not rewarding maps for their durability? The ability to escape and abuse is far more important than aesthetic features. I recommend you use this rating system.
I agree with Matty. I also will try this. it won't be easy going back to my first style of forging...
I like making infection maps. I LOVE Halloween and I like to make multi-layered maps. Needless to say your contest caught my eye in an instant. I enjoyed making the map sinply for the fact I could add layers and layers to the building. I managed to get in five before the death barrier stopped me. You made me stay up all last night working on this simply for the fact I couldn't get the ideas to stop flowing. Keep it UP! I hope I get to see some other maps!
i see you deleted deathtolls comment. and i bet this guy wont even give you guys the ms points what proof do we have that he is not lying. i mean if he isnt than im in and i might submit a map but seriously i made my thread first and this may just be a desperate attempt for attention.
Oooooh.. This is perfect. :] I have an infection game I've been working on that I plan on releasing soon. I can enter it in this competition can I not?
That link was broken so heres my stuff Map: House O'Lantern GameType: Zombie Retreat I had an idea but wasn't really done how i planned it would come out but i finished it
When you need judges, I suggest the testers guild. We are organized, we have good members and we can give good collective opinions.
what? i didn't delete any comment and i have been planning this contest for weeks coming up with prizes and stuff so im not going to back out just because you made a contest before me. and why did you give me neg rep?
