Long have you waited for highly coveted news regarding the Halo 2 Anniversary: ForgeTacular, my children. You've had faith that soon, from the whispering dark, you may see an update, perhaps an announcement of sorts. See how this faith has been rewarded! We all knew the drill: 40+ maps enter, ten exit, and only three of those ten will make it to their cars safely and drive home to their loving families, us. On that bizarre analogy, it's my privilege to introduce the top 10 finalists for the H2A ForgeTacular!
A huge thank you to everyone who submitted to this contest! We discovered a ton of awesome new content and rediscovered a plethora of old classics. From this point on, the top 10 maps above will be playtested in-house by 343 Industries and it's up to the boys in chrome to narrow these beauties down to the cream of the virtual crop. ForgeHub now stands in anticipation with you all as we can't wait to see what will emerge victorious!
Underwood
Obi Wai Kenobi
A pleasantly varied asymmetrical map, Underwood was immediately a top contender with it's quick-to-learn layout and above average routing.
Lacuna
CommanderColson
What new could be said about this H2A classic? For stellar 1-sided objective matches, Lacuna is an easy pick.
Space Junk
Soldat DuChrist
This layout was immediately intriguing to us, and we found that the map did offer fair balance to power positions while maintaining good pathing and encounters below.
Heatstroke
Kell of Scots
Heatstroke delivers on fast paced vehicular gameplay with a well designed circuit. For infantry, classic push-pull style routes highlight the vehicle track nicely.
Inheritor
Squally DaBeanz
Another memorable map from the days of H2A, Inheritor encourages excellent flanking maneuvers due to it's well-defined paths and large rooms.
Pulse
a Chunk
Pulse was instantly recognizable as a solid design with both great vantage points as well as flanking and lower paths.
Blockus
MartianMallCop
Tried and true, Blockus is king among asymmetrical vehicular warfare. Taking a page from maps like Relic, Blockus hits hard and never lets up.
Select
SecretSchnitzel & runNOKYARDrun
Harkening back to the days of Halo: Reach, Select still stands tall with it's classic take on the Narrows push-pull style.
Diamond
Minister Muffin
A solid arena map, Diamond has much to offer in competitive play while keeping an easy to learn layout and tons of traversal options.
Epic
a Chunk & Xandrith
Feelin' sweaty? Epic does asymmetrical arena right in all the ways you could hope. Solid pathing, good balance, tons of routes, it's epic.
H2A ForgeTacular Finalists!
