Don't be scared, my friends. I know you all have been expecting to see our good pal chrstphrbrnnn posting this, but things have changed. He's been busy with other things, so I've stepped up to take over FHF. This edition is particularly massive, boasting 7 maps. WHAT?! That's a lot of maps! And 7? That's Bungie's Favorite number. [Insert Random Code Here For Speculation] Just kidding, though. There's no hidden messages in this post; just 7 great maps as chosen by the people. Thanks to all the members that nominated maps and voted. Sorry for being so late, but never fear. We're back, baby.

Halfghan
Created by jakob hunter

Recommended Gametypes: Slayer, KOTH, Territories, and Infection
Recommended Players: 2-8

Hold your horses, I know what you're going to say: "Hey super awesome BuddhaCrane guy, I know you're super awesome and everything but I do believe that only the first two winning entries in the Foreign Treasures contest receive a featured write-up, and Halfghan came joint third!" You know what? You're right! The thing is, my imaginary chum, this map is worthy of feature, contest or not. What's that? You're quiet now? Good, seems those pills have kicked in. On with the festivities!

So Halfghan then. This is a map forged by jakob hunter, and it's a pint-sized remake of Midget Modern Warfare 2's map: Afghan. While the map's scaling down means it didn't rank as highly in our contest against the other entries, it doesn't mean it's not a double negative great competitive map experience extravaganza bonanza.

Due to Halfghan's snug form-fitting layout, this is a map designed for smaller parties; team doubles works very nicely. The map may be miniaturised but it is incredibly accurate. Jakob hunter chose to scale everything down rather than crop parts out of the map; I think this was a very wise decision since something has to give on a map the size of MW2's Afghan.

Of course, I can't talk about this map and not mention the plane! Really Jakob hunter has done a great job of recreating that structure from nose to tail in great detail; it is obvious that it is a plane and not just an assortment of blocks. Another impressive inclusion is the random power weapon and equipment mechanism, which will spit out weapons and equipment into different directions so that you don't know where they will...

Shipment
Created By: MetaWaddleDee

Recommended Players: 2-6
Recommended Gametypes: Team Slayer, FFA Slayer, Oddball



I know what you’re thinking; I mean boxes? Simple boxes strewn around the map and you featured it, Forge Hub? I mean seriously, how did this come in second in the Foreign Treasures contest? Well, very opinionated sir I have something to tell you. You should really do your homework. MetaWaddleDee’s Shipment is so much more than even the original Call of Duty 4 map is itself. Not only is it creative and well constructed enough to place second in the Foreign Treasures contest (pitted against some very hefty competition), its gameplay is very much on par with the best and most entertaining 2v2 maps of Halo 3. So before you try to blast this map for unoriginality or any other associated negative things, you should most certainly read what we have to say.

While Meta’s Shipment did appear to be exceptionally well forged, I will admit I had some skepticism as to how unique and excellent a Shipment map could truly be. However, within seconds of my first game on Shipment I was blown away by just how enjoyable the map was to play on. While Meta’s limited jump height may be controversial to some, the accuracy it provides in regards to being a Call of Duty 4 remake is most... [Read More]

Damn Shapeshifters…

Dastardly buggers are always changing their faces. One minute they’re grey, the next they're brown or purple, then they’re green. Wait what? Green, there is no green. Okay never mind, anyway we’ve been keeping track of them for you so they don’t happen to slip under your radar and surprise you from behind. First up we have Sir ... [Read More]
