Schism of Light
Created by: Given to Fly

Recommended Players: 6-16
Recommended Gametypes: Save One Bullet, Double Team Slayer

Many brave souls dared to enter the Hub of the Dead infection forging contest, but only one prevailed. Given to Fly has triumphed with his map dubbed "Schism of Light," which is home to eerie tunnels and cave-like structures, as well as fast paced and addicting gameplay. Schism of Light excels were most infection maps don't - the gameplay is fair for both the infected and the survivors, resulting in the elimination of camping and other infection troubles.

The map itself was expertly forged with a natural terrain in mind. The organic corridors contain a dark vibe that looms over the survivors. The main room is a beautifully crafted, high-roofed, oasis in a doomed world, giving the last man standing a final spot to try and overcome the moment of zombie reckoning. The map contains an aura that truly feels like you're in a subterranean lair; its unique and it does supply a vibe of excitement. Congratulations to Given to Fly, and make sure you give this a look: there's many thrills to come.

Results

It seems a long time since the 512 eager Conflict entrants suited up and began the first round of a journey that culminated in our epic final showdowns last week. It's been over 2 months, and during that time many have fallen by the wayside as the contest sorted the finest slayers from those who took up arms way back in August. Intent on cementing the final round as the height of competitive Halo, the chosen few who remained had to fight it out for 5 games, as opposed to the 3 employed in recent rounds. Many have been waiting eagerly for the results, and for those who haven't been keeping up with the match threads themselves, here's a breakdown of what went on in the culmination of Forge Hub's 1v1 Conflict.
