Event Best of Forge: Voting

Hey everybody, it's been a long while coming, but the voting stage for Best of Forge is finally here! Voting started a few days ago, but here are a few announcements we wanted to bring up. First off, while this event was originally cooperatively run by Halo Customs and Mr. Pokephile, he has stepped down from the voting stage of this years Best of Forge. This will allow us to finish voting and selecting winners in a timely fashion, so there should be no more delays. There is also a new voting thread up for the flood category due to a map that made it through to the voting round that was breakable. We also have a message from the team that judged the Small Team Competitive category, which included several of the Community Cartographers in contact with 343 industries:

​

"First, we want to thank everyone for participating as it has been a true pleasure revisiting and evaluating these maps. Our involvement in the selection process has been both an honor and a challenge as there were so many great works to consider. The competitive forge community consistently raises the bar of creativity, design and competitive merit higher and higher as we progress in time. There were so many submissions that displayed a true mastery of scale, balance, flow and competitive merit that we regret to only honor a small selection of them. With the vast amount of great maps to consider and limited to a handful to present, we decided to help support those bringing a new and fresh perspective to our Halo experience. We’re so thrilled to finally help give your work the recognition it deserves to your peers, friends, developers and the community at large, congratulations!

Please note: Several of these maps received significant design updates in recent weeks, so grab the most current links, run a few games, and then place your votes!"
