"Make" an awesome Forge Map!

As many of you may know, I am an exceptional Forger. I have made everything from ships to restaurants, and none of my maps have ever failed to be fun and impressive.

Now, currently I have 2 big Forge projects in development that will change the way you think of Forge forever. But I need to take a break from those, to kind of refresh my creativity and look at new styles of maps. I was thinking one day, "why not use my forging to help someone?", and decided to host a contest. So here it is...

The Official NC Dream Map Contest

The purpose of this event is to allow someone whose forging skills are not so hot to be able to create a map that will be adored by their friends and even enemies! Whoever wins will have their map built from the ground up by me and my team. We will build nearly everything, then bring in the winner and allow them to place the final block. Afterwards, all rights to the map will go to the winner, and none of us will take any credit for it whatsoever.

THE RULES

• you can't ask for modded maps or elements (illegal material).
• no gun art, only fully playable maps.
• any NSFW material will be denied.
• the map will only be on Foundry.

THE PRIZES

• a map designed by yours truly.
• a special spot reserved on my friends list over Xbox Live.
• a special membership for NinjaCritic.
• a chance to observe my 2 secret projects.

HOW TO ENTER

• to enter the contest, simply send an email to mcnealylindsey@gmail.com detailing your map with a description (what it should look like, what should happen, etc.) and your Gamertag. If you were to send a sketch as well, that'd be great. A good drawing canvas for Foundry can be found here: http://www.bungie.net/images/News/InlineImages2007/Special%20Features/FoundrySoccer/foundry.pdf.

And that's all there is to it! I should probably come out and say that if you post your ideas on the comments box, they WILL NOT BE VALID. Just use the email like you're supposed to, ok? :)

Contest ends on August 1st, 2008. Good luck!

Mehehehe! The Warthog. Probably one of the most famous vehicle from Halo.
This is by far a favored vehicle by many people. With it's variations of troop 'hog, or gauss, or the classic mounted turret. Let me tell you this thing can be the devil on wheels. Load this baby up with rockets in the side, and man on turret and your set!
It's a little more tactical to use only two people though. one on turret and one driving. It is not to be said that the prowler is better. I quote Hobo Wrath from Inside Halo when he said. " The prowler is the bas**** offspring of the spectre from Halo 2 and the pile of poo from behind me apartment." As you see from my opinion I much like the Warthog over the Prowler.

Lets get to tactics. Well the Warthog is quite obviously a very tactical weapon. In maps such as Standoff and Avalanche, if you manage to steal the opposing teams Warthog(s), then give them a crew, you will dominate the battlefield. Lose your warthog and YOU WILL LOSE. unless your me. I have insane vehicle skills. Basically, The Warthog is a VERY balanced weapon. Use it or Lose it.


Since this is my first review, I don't know what guys want out of a review, So leave a comment, The only request for the next vehicle is for the Hornet. Please comment on anything, vehicle, info, whatever. Leave a comment! When It's determined what the next vehicle, I'll start writing!


I'll see you on the course, Rouge
