IMPORTANT: DATE EXTENSION UNTIL MAY 21ST
Forge Hub is proud to present the Sandbox launch contest, a remake contest for Halo maps from the previous two games. With all the buzz about bringing back classics, paired with the endless capabilities of Sandbox itself, this is the perfect competition to kick off the beginning of a new forging age. So pop in the original xbox games, study some weapon layouts, and prepare to become a meticulous forger once more.
What does the contest entail?
The contest aims to bring back classic Halo CE and Halo 2 maps with utmost accuracy. On any tier of sandbox, forgers may chose to remake nearly any of their favorite original Halo maps in hopes of creating a realistic rendition, whilst incorporating necessary additions to fine tune gameplay elements. Maps will be judged on creativity, aesthetic accuracy and overall gameplay.
What is a remake?
A remake is a close to original re-creation of a classic map. Good examples are Blackout and Cold Storage. Maps such as Avalanche and Guardian do not constitute remakes. Slight changes are allowed, such as the inclusion of equipment, the swapping of a pistol for a BR or a missing jump, as long as it promotes improved gameplay.
