Hello all,
Roughly a week ago, myself and others at HaloSwallower launched a Forge contest for participants to make Halo: The Master Chief Collection in Halo 5’s Forge mode. With the submission period underway, we felt the need to share it with you all on Waypoint.
For a start, entering in the contest requires sending us a Forge map, made by you, that reflects the buggy, unpatched nature of the MCC. To do that, make your map, name it as you please, but add “HaloSwallower MCC Submission” into the description. Then bookmark the map so that I can easily find it, and announce your submission here so that I know it exists.
However, before you start Forging, you must adhere to the following criteria. Your map:
- Must NOT crash Halo 5. Pls, if my game crashes I’ll cri. You can do glitches, you can do wtf-inducing events, but pls no crashing. - Must support at least 8 players. - Must support Slayer, Free-for-All, CTF, and Strongholds.On January 18, we will select one winner out of the participants. That winner will receive a prize, we will announce as we get closer to the 1.
Until then, Forge on!

"… winner will receive a prize, we will announce as we get closer to the 1." Show me, and Halo Waypoint users, the goods, sir.
So from what I understand, the goal of this contest is to make a -Yoink-post - tier map. Right?
Mmmm, already got several ideas in my head.

The goods? I see. You want the goods, the prize! Ah, but why would I give away my most carefully guarded secret? Why?!?!
The prize will be receiving your 3D Print Spartan. Though we’ll decide the size, all other customizational abilities (stance, custom name, etc) will be up to you.
Believe it or not, I had the idea of making a map parodying 343I’s map design long before I saw this contest. So when I saw someone create a contest with a similar idea, I was all over it. To be honest I don’t even want the prize, and if I win you can give it away to someone else, but I just HAD to make an entry.
Gamertag: Same as forum name.
File Name: Halo’s Tombstone
3v4Industries shamelessly presents…Halo’s Tombstone!
Relive those classic Anniversary memories, such as:
-Having terrible PC-Port Terrain (Ce)
-Weapons being placed in the same spots with no regards to how balance changes may have affected them. (CEA)
-Snipers that fire explosive rounds! (Ce)
-Remastered graphics that aren’t completely obnoxious and don’t interfere with gameplay at all! We swear! (H2A)
-All new tacticool death traps added to your favorite areas, to really push the meta forward. (H2A)
-Brand new routes without the slightest thought put into how they change map flow. (H2A)
-So we heard you like visual HUD clutter…(343I in general)
-Totally accurate location call outs.
Of course it just wouldn’t be that genuine MCC experience without shameless advertising of our next product before the current one is even fixed. Our revolutionary new camera system has allowed us to implement unskippable 13s ads right at the start of the match! We take advertisements into the NEXT GENERATION.
Special thanks to AUD3L, whose Prophet of Auto Sales map inspired the intro sequence.

Can’t get on Halo until later, but it sounds…glorious.
Play-testing it now, but need 7 more players.
Playtested it last night…those random death barriers scared the -Yoink- out of me.
