Crimson Map Pack Forging Challenge

Yes Jeff, there is a volcano on Shatter, and yes HaloTracks, I'm hosting a Crimson Map Pack Forging Challenge! With three awesome new maps out, I want to encourage people to forge on them so we have lots of fun maps to race on them! Unlike my first contest, these tracks don't have to be terrain tracks. You may enter any kind of racetrack you can imagine! I hope to see some creative, fun, original, and exciting maps! Since there are less objects on the Crimson Map Pack maps, and since it doesn't take long to make maps on them (I made mine in a few hours the other day), the submission deadline is in two and a half weeks. Now get forging my friends!

Rules:

• Only one map per person, but submissions can be changed before the deadline
• If the map is made by more than one person, please list all of the creators
• Must be made on Halo 4, not Halo 3 or Halo Reach
• Map MUST be in your fileshare
• Must be made on either Harvest, Shatter, or Wreckage
• Must be compatible for the RACETRACKS gametype
• Must be compatible for 16 people
• Must be uncheatable, and have kill zones in places players don't need to be
• Modded maps are unacceptable and you may not enter them
• During voting period, you may not vote for your own map
• Judges may not enter

How to Submit:

• Map Creator: (gamertag, not HT name)
• Map Name:
• Map Description:
• Picture: (optional)

Prizes:

• 1st Place: 250 HT Points, Map Feature, YouTube Video Feature
• 2nd Place: 150 HT Points
• 3rd Place: 100 HT Points

Judging:
Judging will be done by me and a few others. We will rate each map from 1 to 5 (5 being the best), the scores will be added up, and the 5 maps with the highest overall scores will then move on to community voting.

Community Voting:
Community Voting will take place after the judging period, and voters will choose their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd favorite choice. First will receive 3 points, second will receive 2 points, and third will receive one point. The map with the highest score will be deemed the winner

Deadlines:

• Submission Deadline will be February 8th, 2013
• Judgement Deadline will be February 13th (or sooner), 2013.
• Voting Deadline will be February 20th (or sooner), 2013.

Coookie you can post new contests during the judging/voting periods. That way you could give people a full month to forge their tracks.

Also I feel that all the submissions will be terrain tracks anyway because that's all you can make on these maps. You could have a tiny sky section but most of the track will still be terrain.

Oh that's too bad Fluffball, my next contest won't be DLC specific though!

Damn Xbox Rewards for not giving me the points I should of earned, I'm 60 ms points from getting this DLC, that won't be happening in the next 2 weeks

[gogetarulez]

Interesting. I will update my map with some aesthetics maybe so I actually have a shot.

The map must be made after the date of this contest.

That picture for the challenge is awesome! Unfortunately, I'm poor and can't afford the Crimson map pack right now...

[CoookkieMonster]

Thanks! And awww I'm sorry =( This is the exact reason racetracks made on DLC maps won't be used for the DRL for a little while; unless we do a DLC specific tournament here and there.

[Lord FluffBall]

Thanks for entering Nuked, I've added both maps entered to the entries list.

[CoookkieMonster]

Sorry for the double post, but I just wanted to let everyone know that the deadline has been pushed back exactly two weeks, so I hope to see more entries.

[Ultima Awesome]

I'm going to enter Jade, but right now I'm working on a V2 so I'll get back to you later when it's finished

[CoookkieMonster]

Ok awesome, a third entry! Everyone, if you enter you get a video feature, lots of HT points, and a map feature (something that is NOT easy to get), so ENTER!

[OrionHardy]

I want to, but It probably won''t be till mid Feb that I get the points to be able to download the map pack.

[llehctim4]

Me and YouxxGotxxOwned are going to work on a track soon And I really want a map feature, I've been close many a time, but I just can't get one
