Just because you all are completely caught up in Smackdown forge fever, doesn't mean the monthly contests are going to cease. Rather than give you any breathing room, we are pushing you further to forge more with that competitive mindset you're already in. This month we are putting the focus on one of halo's most beloved gametypes, Capture the Flag. CTF has been the source for some of the most intense gameplay in my halo career, from epic 0-2 comebacks to clutch 3-2 victories, CTF has provided more memorable moments then any other gametype. This is your chance to capture some of that intensity and win yourself a little fame and glory in the process.
Now if classic 2 flag isn't your thing don't worry, we are opening the submissions to include maps for both the 1 Flag and Neutral flag gametypes. You will have the next 2 months to build, test, tweak and finalize your submissions. For full details, see below.
