Absolute Dog Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 The initial contest of the "Meet Your Maker" Forge Contest series showcased the forge communities Infinity Slayer talents. This was, at the time of the contest, Halo 4's most populated playlist and competitive map making is by far the most forged game type in the Halo universe. We received over 100 map submissions and after a series of judging sessions and play testing lobbies we finally decide on the top three maps. There were also six maps that are being showcased as 'Maps of Note' that did not make that final cut, but still deserved some attention. Judges for the Contest Psych Duck - THFE s Competitive Map critic WARHOLIC - Forge Moderator at THC Spades N AZ - Custom Game Night host/343industries.org SaltyKoalaBear - Premier Forger/Forge Critic Absolute Dog - Contest host/Site Administrator at 343 industries.org 1st Place Canvased on Ravine, "Edifice" features game awesome play, is very aesthetically pleasing and is a well laid out asymemtrical map that centers around four color coded buildings for ease of orientation. It features a very nice mix of close to mid-range engagement, is extremely fast-paced and makes excellent use of Ravine's terrain and cave features. This map had so many areas that created quality fire fights that players dead bodies were scattered throughout all parts of the entire play area. A top notch map created by one of our communities best forgers. Congratulations REDEMPTION1272 on the win!!!

All judges admired the overall design elements of this map. Squally used the Ravine canvas to forge this masterpiece and his map reflects elements from previous classic Halo maps such as Guardian and Lockout.

His map proved to be a very solid forge offering that created great movement, featured numerous height variations, provided quality sight lines and functioned incredibly well with the Infinity Slayer default settings we were judging by. His map was canvased on Erosion, which was the least used canvas, but which provided the unique lighting characteristics given that forge environment.
