    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!    ​

      Right now we are unsure if it will be live streamed or not. There is some factors that are being looked at for this particular contest to see if that is a viable option and one of those factors is the amount of maps. We will let it be known if the judging will be streamed by the end of the submission period.

      Also in regards to a submission thread, we will hopefully be releasing that thread soon. With the nature of H2A being a little more difficult with file shares we are looking into the best option to go about getting the maps in the most convenient way. We want everyone to have that info right off the bat instead of people missing out info if it is updated after the thread is posted.

      Splitscreen won't have any effect on the judging process from ForgeHub, but I can't speak for 343 when it comes to their matchmaking decisions. My best guess, however, is that they'll vet the maps they select, having the forgers tweak things before placing them into matchmaking should they see it fit. Simply put, if your map has splitscreen issues, 343 may ask you to fix them if they want your map for MM.

      As of right now there are no plans to livestream the judging process from ForgeHub. There is, however, a Trello board where we will be posting feedback and you can follow the judging process live! That board can be found here.

      By "compatible with at least two core gametypes," does that include slayer or not?

      If a map has framerate issues, can those be fixed after the initial test runs or does the map have to be flawless from the start?

      Cause I made some aesthetic changes to Underwood and have no idea how it influences the framerate without some proper testing which I do not have the time for...

      How are they gonna download our maps if we're not on their friends list? H2A has no file browser and waypoint doesn't accept Maps just screenshots and clips? This is my first admission and I'm not seeing the process as transparent.
