Sorry about the delay there everyone--we forgot that Skisma is no longer doing Forge Hub Favorites, everyone was doing super awesome Thanksgiving related things, and everyone was expecting someone else to do it, ... My dog ate it. Excuses aside, this edition of Forge Hub Favorites has been just as big of a success as any previous one. This time around we've got three competitive maps straight from the community. Look over these previews, head over to the threads themselves, and if they fit your fancy, give 'em a download! The author's will surely appreciate your support.
Azula by AceOfSpades0707
The Iridescence map pack has done it for the third time in a row! Lux and Opal, the other two maps within their map pack, have already snagged their positions in the previous two Forge Hub Favorites' articles, and Azula was created with just as much care! Boasting an asymmetric design with just two power weapons and an unconventional concept of player movement, Azula has been crafted to play intense 1v1 games. If you are interested (which you should be), head over to the thread for more information.

Fired Up by WALDO the lemon
Unlike Azula, Fired Up is an inversely symmetric map based off of Halo: CE's map Chill Out. WALDO the lemon's masterpiece here shows an impressive array of long, mid, and short lines of sight alike. Being room-based, you'll find push and pull battles between these rooms is a common occurrence. Lastly, Fired Up supports everything from a standard Slayer match to Oddball, Capture the Flag and Assault! Give this one a download! You won't regret it.

Heka by Hulter
Tying for second place comes Heka by Hulter, which of the three has been in our map database for the longest amount of time. Chuck-full of varied levels and walkways, even showing some nice curvy, rock filled pieces, Heka is meant to be played with you and a friend with MLG-esq settings. A single grenade launcher and a single sniper rifle have found their way into Heka, and judging by the communities' reaction, they've been incorporated well. If you haven't already, go on over to his original thread or snag the download link below!
