    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!    ​

      Awesome possum. Other thing. Does the core gametype list clarify gametype variants?

      Example: OG Assault is 1 team defending and 1 team attacking, but there is also two bomb and Neutral Bomb. Same with flag. OG Territories is one team defending all territories and 1 team attacking, but then there is also 3 plot (the version of territories that is almost identical to strongholds)

      True.

      I imagine most forgers will be basing their mode choice on their map design. If the map isn't primarily designed for 1-sided round-based game-play then Slayer, Neutral Bomb Assault (BTB) or Ricochet (4v4), 2-Flag CTF, and 3-Plot (Territories variant) I feel are the best modes to be designed around. And you can take that even further; meaning, most symmetrical maps typically play Neutral Bomb Assault or Ricochet and 2-Flag CTF best plus most asymmetrical maps, that are not designed specifically for 1-sided game-play, typically play Slayer and 3-Plot best -- at least in my opinion. If a map is primarily designed for 1-sided round-based game-play then the traditional Assault (one bomb), 1-Flag, and Land Grab (Territories variant) will likely be the best options.

      All core gametypes and their on-disc variants are welcomed. That means 3-Plot, Neutral Bomb, etc are all accepted formats.

      Just made some changes ‘Eden’, after reading back on all the feedback I got during the HCS testing.

      - Made top mid bigger on top so more LoS got blocked and thus reducing blue tower’s strength.
      - Added a bottom area at blue tower, moved the teleporter down there.

      Also renamed the map to ‘Underwood’ as Halo 5 has an ‘Eden’ named map and people have been playing that for years now.

      Map can be found in my fileshare if anyone is interested to have a look at it.
