That’s right community, we’re on the ball and I hope you all saw this coming! Two games and two prior iterations of this contest have given us some of the best remakes seen from forge so what better way to kick off Halo 4 than to bring back some of our favorite Halo classics. So choose your remake, choose your canvas and get to work… after checking the rules of course!
What’s this all about?
Forgotten Treasures aims to bring back classic Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, and (if you are so inclined so soon) Halo Reach maps with the utmost accuracy. On Impact, Ravine or Erosion, forgers may choose to remake nearly any of their favourite original Halo maps in hopes of creating a realistic rendition, whilst incorporating any necessary additions to fine-tune gameplay. Maps will be judged on creativity, aesthetic accuracy, and overall gameplay.
What is a remake?
A remake is a classic map, recreated to be as close to the original as possible. Good examples are Ragnarok, Breakneck, Penance and Battle Canyon (or the Anniversary map pack as a whole). Maps such as Haven do not constitute a remake, despite featuring similar elements to previous Halo maps. Slight changes are allowed as long as they promote improved gameplay, such as the inclusion of armour abilities or the swapping around of weapons. New additions to the Halo sandbox are certainly encouraged.
Contest Rules
All map remakes must be created on Impact, Ravine or Erosion
All maps must be from Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3 or Halo: Reach
