June Forgery Challenge

General Information

This is a Halo 3 Gametype ONLY challenge! Your gametype must be supported by at least 3 maps, which can be default maps if you want. Your gametype can be an variation of previously submitted gametype or you can be ambitious and make a whole new one! Obviously we are looking for fun creative gametypes with lots of replayability.

Submitting your Gametype

To win the competition, you have to submit a gametype. How can you do this you may ask? First off, you have to post your gametype on XForgery. You can do this by using the Gametype Post Generator (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/newthread.php?do=form_gametype_halo3). Afterwards you can visit the Gametype Submission Thread (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/showthread.php?p=106351#post106351) and post your gametype there. Please include the three maps that support your gametype in with your submission.

You are allowed to submit any gametypes that has been posted on XForgery between the dates of May 1, 2010 and 11:59 PM PST June 30st, 2010, and all gametypes must be submitted by that time. You may also submit as many gametypes as you wish, but keep in mind that only one of the gametypes you made can make it into the Top 5 at a time.

How the Winning Gametype is chosen?

Just like the feature voting process (http://xforgery.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2464), all of the submitted gametypes will be put together into one thread. The Supporters will then all put their votes in for the top 5 gametypes, which will be put into another new thread. From here, you guys will be able to vote for your favorite gametype out of the top 5, and whichever gametype has the most votes when the poll is over wins! Well you get a nice little bundle of prizes including:

What do I get if I win?



Your map featured in a Weekly Update here at XForgery.
A video of your gametype will be made and posted in a future update.

You will receive the contest winner award (http://%5burl%5dhttp//www.xforgery.com/forum/awards.php?do=viewaward&award_id=10)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I work with a partner or group of people?
A: Yes, but like stated above, each person can only have 1 gametype in the top 5, regardless of partner work.

Q: Do I need to post the maps the support my gametype?
A: Unless they are the default maps, then yes the maps that support your gametype need to be posted on XF. However you do not need to make new maps if there are already maps on XF that can support your gametype.

Q: Is it only competitive gametypes?
A: By no means do only competitive gametypes count! If you can find a way to make a puzzle or 'just for fun' gametype then all the power to you.

Q: Why do we get 6 weeks for this challenge?
A: Because we are just that nice :)...And with Reach Beta and staff changes there was not enough time to do a May challenge so we are giving you extra time for June!

Q: Can I use modded gametypes?
A: No, they will get you banned!

Q: If we make a series of similarly themed gametypes, sort of like the Regen Gametypes (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8783), does each have to be submitted seperately or can they all be submitted together as a bundle?
A: One at a time would be best!

It doesn't have to be new maps, it can be ANY map on XF or any of the default maps, just as long as it can support your gametype.

Eerie how minds think alike sometimes. http://www.monitorbuilt.com/showthread.php?t=2553
Though in my version I excluded gametype specific maps as they would end up with just slight variations of their originals. But yeah it should be very interesting to see what future XFOG come out of this.

Do the maps HAVE to be published to this site? I'm kinda saving the maps at the moment to be released in a map pack and then the other maps will just be published afterwards...

Well, you're lucky that the Regen gametypes were released so recently. I think they have a shot at it. But yes, the maps must be published on THIS site.

A: Yes, but like stated above, each person can only have 1 [SIZE="4"]gametype in the top 5, regardless of partner work.



This is a gametype competition not a map competition isn't it?

Quick question.. I know my REGEN gametypes was used as an example to say that you CANT post multiple gametypes as part of a pack (which is fair)
But.. Does that mean i have to resubmit the gametypes to the gametype forum individually?
Also, I have Team REGEN King and REGEN King, only difference is one is FFA and one is Team.. do I submit those seperately.. or can they go together?
Thanks

Jpec07
06-25-2010, 12:56 PM
In order to submit them for the contest, please resubmit them to the gametype forum. As to whether or not the FFA and Team versions of the game are in the same thread, that is up to you. Keep in mind, though, that if they require different maps, it's probably best to separate them into their own threads. Also keep in mind that you will have to submit them individually, if you split them up, and that in that case, only one can make it to the top 5.

Stevo
06-26-2010, 03:38 AM
Ok, well.. with the maps getting released just for this, they all support both variants of KOTH, but there isnt much point in spamming the gametype forum with the same style gametypes again. I'll just submit Team REGEN King.
