Once upon a time, our resident Dax hosted a competition that forced forgers to drop their controllers and design a map under strict criteria. Halo 5 forge is just over the horizon, so what better way to stimulate your creative fluids than by resurrecting such a competition. That being said, I'm happy to announce the first installment of the HaloCustoms Design Contest! You can read about the details and cool prizes below.

Competition Details:
Below, you'll find two sets of numbered cards, each containing a unique design parameter. The blue numbers contain standards that relate to the overall layout and the red numbers contain specific design elements. If you choose to participate, you'll select one number from each set and be given the corresponding parameters. From there, you have until the submission deadline to design a map that not only adheres...

*All usernames should be reverted to their original versions as of now. If not, send me a message.*

As we transition into the month of November, the Halloween celebrations once again come to a close here at HaloCustoms. As per tradition, we hosted another annual Username Contest where we asked the local denizens to vote for the spookiest name change among those that were submitted. The winner of said contest would not only be regarded as the spoopiest member of all time*, but they would also earn themselves a new trophy and the custom title, "The Cutest Pumpkin in the Patch"! The votes have been calculated, so without further ado...

Unearthed
by moo43

There was a lot of debate between the judges on what would make a map worthy of first prize. Uniqueness? Best use of vehicles? Best pure CTF experience? In the end it came down to this question: Which map delivers the Squad experience at the highest level? That is to say, what map would produce the best vehicle/ infantry interaction while also delivering on great CTF gameplay?

In the end, Unearthed was what truly shone for these qualifications. The hillside layout of Unearthed creates an incredible amount of verticality for a map featuring...

Blockus
by MartianMallCop

Blockus was one of the most unique One-Flag CTF maps that I have seen. The infantry-trenches that allow players on foot to seamlessly dip out of/ rise into a vehicle path are genius in allowing fluid infantry/ vehicle intermingling. The ability to toss the flag up a hole in an otherwise 1-way drop down creates risky and exciting flag runs. The arch stretching over mid is an amazing vertical element that entirely changes the way defense base is assaulted. Finally, the simple yet well designed vehicle circuit allows for both defensive warthog usage as well as more aggressive assaults on the enemy base. Blockus was one of the most...

Entrenched
by SixteenthMatt

Entrenched uses natural terrain in unique ways to create a space that is both very drivable and packed with vertical overlap. The higher attacker base compared to the lower defense base creates an interesting dynamic where flag pulls are often contested over long periods of time on the way back to the base. The long, open platform at offense base serves to prevent easy captures, requiring that defense team has control of the major power positions to be able to score.

Congratulations to SixteenthMatt, and well...
