Apologies if this article somehow breaks all of Forge Hub. I have literally no idea what I'm doing with HTML and to be honest, this got wrote out in BBCode before hand! Regardless of my lack of knowledge and inability to use it; I think you'll agree this new front page looks really cool.
Anyway, enough about that... I'm here to announce this weeks Forge Hub Favorites!
Bioshock by Marcass2021
Marcass has created a popular asymmetric map themed around the ever so popular FPS, Bioshock. Although the map has minor aesthetic features of the game, like Little Sister Holes, the map doesn't have that familiar all doom and gloom setting Irational Games originally created. However, fear not, as Marcass2021 has your back in the Reach setting. Bioshock is a multi-tiered map that takes Team Slayer and gives it a lively injection of EVE that'll boost you through the match with shell shocking power and then... then you'll realise you were on the better game all along...

Battleships by NlBBLES and Spawn of Saltine
D3. Miss. A8. Miss. C12. HIT! YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP!
Nibbles and Spawn of Saltine have both taken a classic board game and converted it perfectly into the Halo: Reach setting with Battleships. Teams take it in turns to shoot at the enemy through a masked wall; Utillising a handy little glitch with Gauss Warthogs and Wall Collesium pieces, both authors provided a clear cut replica of the traditional game with a perfect "Halo" twist. The only problem is your ships don't die... you do!

Act 1: Pillar Trials by Noxiw
After spending 2 hours 41 minutes and 23 seconds on this earlier... my brain is still hurting. Noxiw has created an absolute mind bender with Act 1: Pillar Trials. Using the gametype So Close, Yet So Far, the gametype settings provide you with countless moments of teasing new areas, how you reach those areas is entirely up to you and your brain. Using very few actual glitches in the game, Pillar Trials is for all Reach players who enjoy a good challenge and that's exactly what this is; a challenge!

I think you'll agree this isn't the usual Forge Hub Favorites sporting more mini-game style maps. Another map was extremely close to making the cut which was also in the mini-game category so you might want to check out CubeSkew 2: Skewed Harder as well!
Take a few moments to congratulate this weeks winners. Please also take another few moments to suggest the next potential Forge Hub Favorites!
