General InformationIt's February, which means that Valentine's Day is upon us! Can't you just feel the love in the air? :wub: ... No? I can't either. Clearly we need to spread the love a little bit, so this month's Forgery Challenge will be a co-forge challenge. Beside's the fact that the map has to be made within the month of February, and has to be forged by at least two people, there are no limitations. You may make any kind of map you want, and you may forge on any default Halo Reach map of your choosing. So put down the chocolates and flowers, pick up a controller, find a forging partner (or partners) and make some magic!
Just to be perfectly clear, any map submitted to the site within this month with more then one author qualifies for entry into this challenge. Because of the flexibility of this challenge, we expect to see a fair amount of submissions. Anyone who has a co-forged map in progress can enter said map into this challenge upon completion; anyone who has already submitted a co-forged map on another site but not here at XF yet can also submit their map, and of course for those of you who want to make a whole new map specifically for this challenge... you won't have to do it alone. ;)
Submitting Your Content
To win the competition, you have to submit a map. How can you do this you may ask? First off, you have to post your map on XForgery. You can do this by using the Map Post Generator (http://xforgery.com/forum/newthread.php?do=form_map_halo3), and by doing so your map will work properly with the Map Search Engine (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/mapsearch.php). Afterwards you can visit the Map Submission Thread (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/showthread.php?p=154005#post154005) and post your map there.
You are allowed to submit any map that follows the challenge theme that has been posted on XForgery between the dates of February 1st, 2011 and 11:59 PM PST February 28th, 2011. All maps and gametypes must be submitted by that time.

The Supporters will then all put their votes in for the top 5 maps, which will be put into another new thread. From here, you guys will be able to vote for your favorite map out of the top 5, and whichever map has the most votes when the poll is over wins!What do I get if I win?

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the one map per user rule apply to co-forged maps? What if one person has already submitted their map, but their co-forger was planning on the co-forged map to be their map submission?
A: There's this beautiful thing called communication. Basically, if you plan to co-forge with someone, you had better make sure that they were planning this map to be their map submission as well.
