Here we are folks; the long awaited Forgotten Treasure II results. I'll do my best to keep things brief for you, as I know you are only here to find out one thing: who won. Before we get to the results, I thought I would list you the top 19 maps however Shad0w recommended I cut it. I know many of you were hoping for a "Best remake of.." category, but it was honestly too difficult as some categories had one entrant, two entrants that were both very far off or two entrants that were too close to judge.
The Winner's Circle
Fifth Place:
Map Name: Atrocity
Map Remade: Narrows
Created By: fame28
Map Link
Atrocity is a very excellent remake of the Halo 3 map Narrows. The map is very aesthetically similar and and scale to Narrows. The only real issue was a lack of interesting weapons and the lifts cause issues occasionally
Fourth Place:
Map Name: Titan
Map Remade: Colossus
Created By: Shad0w Viper
Map Link
Shadow's Titan is one accurate remake. It plays some excellent objective and things like Stockpile and Headhunter are well suited to the map. However, Titan has one colossal problem, and that is lag. Unfortunately that is what holds the map back from a higher spot on the list.
Third Place
Map Name: Rat Race
Map Remade: Rat Race
Created By: MickRaider
Map Link
Mick's Rat Race may possibly be the most accurate remake in the entire contest. While it looks awesome and plays fairly well, I'm not sure that Rat Race is the best choice for a remake in terms of transitioning to Reach's gameplay. There also happened to be a few spawn mishaps. However, Rat race is an excellent map most definitely worthy of the title "Best Rat Race".
Second Place
Map Name: Reconstructed
Map Remade: Construct
Created By: Ehand88
Map Link
Reconstructed is one excellent Construct remake. When playing construct, the gameplay is absolutely spot on and Reconstructed sports one of the best lift shifts for a Construct remake. Most areas of the map are nearly perfect, however there are a few areas in which size constraints are slightly off.
First Place:
Map Name: HCTF Citadel
Map Remade: Citadel
Created By: kdavis73
Map Link
Citadel is extremely accurate. With only minor differences (such as the shotgun area), this is one of the most accurate maps in the contest. With aesthetics that are almost a copy/paste of Halo 3's Citadel, one can't help but recognize the map instantly. However, the factor that puts HCTF Citadel above the rest of the maps in the contest is that while Citadel was a mediocre map in Halo 3, it transitions amazingly well to Reach; actually playing better with Reach's gameplay than it did in Halo 3.
