After a week of tin-canned explosions, frustratingly long phone calls and hitch-hiking rides to any destinations I needed to be, I've thumbed my last ride of the week and found myself here at Forge Hub's front door once again.
What? I'm not being interviewed for Community Spotlight? PSH! And there's me thinking you had an interest in my lifestory. I could have told you about the time I got so drunk, I passed out and awoke in a puddle of urine that was 5 metres in diameter... YOUR LOSS BECAUSE I WAS NAKED! So Forge Hub Favorites it is then...
Hollow Crown by LD
Oh look, that Crazy, Surprisingly Sexy, German guy actually won something (edit: And I'm not talking about a world war/poke war here...). Well, visually the map almost exceeds him in beauty and I like to think of Hollow Crown like I see a BMW. It's made by Germans, looks great and it's awesome to play in.... or on as the case may be here.
Making strong use of Forgeworld's natural environment, Hollow Crown takes the doubles environment and creates an amazingly fast-paced and adrenaline fueled game of slayer for all doubles fans. I'm not surprised this became your favorite this time round... I also wouldn't be surprised if this made it into the matchmaking playlist. Sir LD, I would salute you but you crazy germans salute in an awkward way!

Flushing Toilet by Darth Human
Darth Poo-man had a dream. That dream was to one day, get rid of the crap stuck at the bottom of that hole. Thus, Flushing Toilet was born. You know, I wish someone offered a Flushing Toilet to me all those days ago... WHAT?!?! I WANT YOU TO CARE ABOUT MY LIFE STORY! :'(
Anyway, Darth Human's Flushing Toilet is an ingenius way to use one of the new gametypes. The game is simple, reach the top of the toilet before you get flushed with the rest of the crap! Darth really has some dark moves up his sleeves that he just likes to keep throwing out there... If you can make a mini-game that involves a flying walrus shooting magical rainbow unicorns, you get my heart Darth <3

Jackal Creek by A 3 Legged Goat
As you guys couldn't establish which was more your favorite; we have two, yes two, third place winners this week. The first being Jackal Creek by a Goat that has a missing limb. I always wondered how A 3 Legged Goat could even figure out how to turn an xbox on as well as forge. I always figured the limb that was missing had to be a back leg because forging requires two hands, and then I remembered Goats have hoofs so it's probably just a guy pretending to be a disabled goat for benefits and stuff.
Anyway, Jackal Creek is an Asymmetric-Symmetric map which pretty much turns out to be a two base symmetrical map with minor differences here and there (like hemorrhage for example). Anyway, Jackal Creek was inspired by the Halo 2 map Beaver Creek and the Halo 3 map Isolation. I think you'll find that it makes a very unique and interesting combination in regards to gameplay.

Hogs from Heck by Darth Human
Our second Third Place tied map is Hogs from Heck by Darth Human. I'm sure I've heard that name before somewhere else on this article? Oh well...
To keep it simple, Darth Human has created a land-vehicle, splatter based mini-game that takes said land vehicles and hurls them towards the enemies that are trapped on a podium. The aim of the game is to A) Survive, and B) Be convicted of Vehicular Manslaughter. Sounds simple enough right?

Commiserations to our other finalist who didn't secure a winning place: Think Twice
So anyway, about my lifestory...
So yeah, I was totally wasted and such and I was meeting up with this girl at the time (it was our first date... a house party.. smooth right?) and I made a complete bumcrack of myself. I, for one, cannot remember the night. All I do remember was that I took a college exam the next day and managed to get a D in it without throwing my guts up all over the tiny exam tables, oh and that girl later became my girlfriend... WIN/WIN
Oh, ok. Yeah, if you liked these maps... blahblahblah. You can nominate further maps here. extra blahblahblah. Or you could be totally awesome and make Sarge talk to me about other interesting events in my life; Like the time I played hide and seek with the police.
