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.
How is the Winning Map chosen?
Just like the feature voting process (http://xforgery.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2464), all of the submitted maps will be put together into one thread. 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?

Well, you and your partner will get a nice little bundle of prizes including:


Your map featured in a Monthly Update here at XForgery.
XForgery Points
You both will receive the contest winner award (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/awards.php?do=viewaward&award_id=10)
The winners will receive a month of Supporter (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/memberlist.php?usergroupid=17) status


And for those of you who are new to XForgery, here are some perks to being a supporter:


Access to your very own Blog (http://xforgery.com/forum/blog.php)
Access to the Supporter Forum
The ability to change your User Title at any time

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.

What if the co-forger doesn't have an XF account? Would they have to make one?

I would have thought that the entry is valid, but only registered members can get the rewards. However the entry would be considered valid as long at least one of the forgers are members of the site.

I think this sound reasonable wouldn't you?

I need to figure out what I am doing for this one. I have been working on something (somewhat coforged) but IDK if I'll finish it, the idea doesn't seem as awesome anymore.

Wow this could be the perfect time for a contest like this haha I just started a co-frge project with a friend of mine two days ago, I'll have to let him know about this contest and we'll have to start the testing soon!

I hope you all sent your Valentines today and found that special someone, because you only have 2 weeks left to submit a map for this challenge, and there's only been 1 submission thus far; so the chances of winning are high!

My great friend Child7of7Christ and I co-forged an Invasion map in the canyon that I'd like to enter in this. I asked him if it was okay with him (I mean, it was both of our map after all) and he said it sounded like a good idea. Problem is, he isn't an Xfog member. Will that be a problem?

Yes, I believe so - that's been the precedent for previous events. He should register on XF just in case, it won't take him long.

He has to be a member, but as the post above says, he doesn't have to be a member for X amount of time or have Y amount of posts. As long as the people getting credit for these maps can be linked via tags, for example... [user]Sir Shazmanoid then that person qualifies.

I guess no one's felt the love this February as we only have 2 map submissions with just 5 days left! The chances of winning are currently at an all time high, so don't miss your chance!

I'm gonna enter but i wanna see if i can finish my map exodus and enter it but if not ill just enter confliction.

im sure you have seen the video preview of it but here it is anyway.

YouTube - Exodus preview


all i really need to do is try and get it more balanced which i think i did. i took out the teleporters and switched in gravlifts that go to the middle of the map.

another day or two and it should be up.

Due to a strikingly low number of only 6 submissions, the deadline is being extended until March 7th.
