Our baby is back again, and looking better than ever. Let's kick off our reunion with a BANG!





BEGIN TRANSMISSION

Hello Hubbers. Halo 5 forge has launched and a new era is upon us. To commemorate this grand occasion, Forgehub is breaking radio silence to announce a 2v2 Slayer forge map contest. There's no time to waste. Dive right in and get your hands dirty because the 2v2 Throwdown contest is ON!





GOING LOUD

Q. What maps can I forge on?

A. Your map can be forged on one of the blank canvases - Alpine, Glacier, Parallax, or Breakout Arena. It can also be forged on any of the Halo 5 disc maps, however they can ONLY be used as a blank canvas. You CANNOT use existing geometry on disc maps.



Q. Are there age requirements?

A. No. Anyone who submits a map will be eligible to claim a prize.



Q. Can I co-forge with my friend(s)?

A. Yes! We love seeing community collaboration, so co-forging is allowed. However, be aware that your map must have a primary author who will receive any contest winnings.



Q. Are remakes from (insert game here) allowed?

A. Yes, however it is extremely unlikely that a remake will win any prizes because it will automatically receive a low score in the Originality/Creativity judging category.

Anyone found to be plagiarizing maps from other forgers will be disqualified, and shall forever be shunned by the forge community (so don't do it).

THE THROWDOWN

The goal of this contest is two-fold. First we want to find great maps, and then we want to play on great maps! Yes, you heard right.
