Oh hello! Welcome back to our Forge Hub Favorites ending July of 2012.
This time around I almost had whip out the "are you effing kidding me" rage face and post it here being that we almost had a four-way tie for second place. Instead, however, I'll use the same rage face minus the profanities, being that we had a three-way tie for second place.
Scopeless by cluckinho10
Coming in first place this time around is none other than cluckinho10 with a minigame! What kind of minigame, you ask? Well, have you ever been stuck inside a small orange and glowing box with a sniper rifle, attempting to shoot at a bunch of guys that are running back and fourth stealing your stuff? That kind of minigame. Oh, you haven't been in a situation like that before? You probably haven't lived in Chicago then.
Anyway, Scopeless is a game that pins two teams against each other in a small "alleyway"--one team uses their sniper to stop the opposing team, the other simply tries to steal all of the stock-pile flags. Sounds a bit unfair, right? Due to some clever game mechanics the sniper rifle doesn't do the one thing it was designed to do--scope. In comes the title: Scopeless. I won't go into the details why you find yourself unable to use it, but it's quite clever if I do say so myself. No more aim-assist and scoping for you.

Your Second Place Winners in Alphabetical Order![l-col]Behemoth by Jackknife
Big team battle shenanigans inbound! Jackknife has created a behemoth of a radially symmetric battlefield full of all of the classic BTB glory. Two bases, a center structure, two neutral bases, some warthogs; grenade launchers, sniper rifles, and red versus blue action, oh my! Grab at 8 players and load up this beast!

[/l-col][r-col]Strife a Chunk
Strife is an asymmetric room-based map meant for everything from 1v1ing to 4v4ing. Strife's interesting and fresh layout, strong weapon set, combined with some wonderful aesthetics really sets this map apart from other within the database. Snag some friends and load up Strife--it's definitely a keeper.

Ventricle by WARHOLIC
And finally, we have Ventrical, an MLG that boasts the standard arena and two base symmetric layout. Ventricle even has an evade pickup that acts as a power weapon and will surely mix up the gameplay. If you're an MLG fan, be sure to snag Ventricle and give it some love.
