CONTESTS
Free Controller Giveaway
Our friends at
HaloCustoms have a deal going with GamerModz about a SICK contest for whoever can make the best looking custom controller. Insane54, Community Manager at HaloCustoms, gives you the details of the contest here. Check out some of the controllers everyone's come up with!
Get A Clue Forge Contest
Hm, should this have gone under Forge like the Meet Your Maker Contest since it's a Forge contest or does it belong here? I don't care. I'm already writing. Our very own Spades N AZ has been called to be a judge for the Get A Clue Forge Contest. For those of you that love the Clue gametype or have no idea what it is and want to know more

Spades N AZ's Custom Games Night
You may or may not have known, but this was Spades N AZ's last Custom Games Night for a while. He said he'd like to take a break and someone will be temporarily taking over for Friday night custom games. @SOLIDSNAKEee from HaloCustoms gives us his latest recap video from LAST WEEK'S CGN:

Featured Map
This is the first Dominion map I've ever featured. I found myself going with a pattern of competitive and aesthetic maps really. This week I felt like featuring a Dominion map so who else to talk to than Dominion Host for The Halo Forge Epidemic than AbleSir Thomas? I asked him for a map he made for Dominion and all he gave me was a link to this beauty. This video will give you a THFE feature of AbleSir Thomas's map, Corrosion.
GAMING NEWS
Forge Island is coming out on April 11 for FREE. That's correct. It's free. And it's huge. It has 3 main "areas" if you will:
The Large Flatland, The Mid-size Flatland, and The Small Flatland.
There is a massive amount of space in the skybox of the map.
The map's aesthetics will be similar to that of Ravine, so it will be green and rocky like a beautiful grotto in some parts and more like an island in others!
Ducain23 gives you the scoop in this video:
IGN gives gamplay footage of it here:
Castle Map Pack
This probably should've appeared in last week's Wrapup but didn't.
The Castle Map Pack drops April 8th. Developed by our affililate, Certain Affinity, the map pack provides 3 large scale objective based maps. Yes people that's BTB Objective WOO! The 3 maps are called Daybreak, Outcast, and Perdition. Personally I like Perdition's name the best. Now, instead of giving you a description of each, I'm going to let you watch them in action with videos courtesy of IGN. Enjoy:

Meet Your Maker Play Date
Pretty awesome news. It's been announced by Promotions and Events' leading lady, imakequilts, that there will be a Play Date testing the maps of the Meet Your Maker Forge Contest. Guys these maps are top notch. I've gone through the submission thread many times just to look at what was posted and my mind was blown. Follow the thread to watch for an incoming date and time
