XXI or Twenty-One; is a number for many things. It's the highest score in a game of Black Jack, in several countries it is the age of maturity, it happens to be the century we live in and more importantly, it also happens to be the number of this weeks Forge Hub Favorites! As we've all reached that coming of age; raise your glasses and toast this weeks Favorites.
Cheers!
Anent by iTz Longshot
Anent is a one verse one Asymmetrical map. As Longshot shrowds the playing field in darkness, Anent succeeds in creating it's own unique atmosphere to match. Anent is very vertically orientated and Longshot provides a creative way of identifying which teleporters take you to which destinations throughout the map. Anent can either be a very fast, freely flowing map or it could easily lock you in a stalemate of crouch-walking and dancing in and out of teleporters; Deciding on the best course of action is up to you.
Using it's own gametype, Anent creates a enjoyable battlefield for finishing the fight. For your viewing pleasure, I've pulled up the video and linked it here.

Summit by MetaWaddleDee
MetaWaddleDee is apparently a perfectionist. After rigorous testing and around 40 different versions, Meta proudly presents his Bungie Invasion map. The Elites start off by sieging a bridge that connects both Montana and Alaska in Forge World, the beautifully decorated bridge then pushes on into a Forerunner-esque structure where the elites need to take control before pushing down the cliffside into the belly of the beast where they must take the core to safety. Summit provides an excellent and almost cliche Invasion experience that will never go stale on any Halo fan.

Arbor Pointe by Zombievillan
Although I'm not 100% sure how to pronounce this map still, I believe Arbor Pointe to be an amazing map in itself. As foreign as the words appear, the map itself becomes instantly recognisable across the play area. One might find themselves reminiscent of other Halo Classics like Halo 2's Elongation and Halo 3's The Pit.
Arbor Pointe brings a new unique feel to competitive maps in Reach, and with that; new aesthetics to keep players interested. The Rocket Launcher platform is something to be monitored at all times...
