Site Update - October 25th

Promotions

Most notable on our list of rank reshuffles this week is former keeper of these very pages, Creeping Death, who returns to the rank of Premium. Thanks for all the hard work, brotha. Enjoy your newfound life of leisure. We'll miss your creepy ass skeletal face around here. Forge Hub old timer G043R is also returning to the Loyal crew after some time away. The freshest face amongst the purple ranks is AmercanPsycho, our most recent addition to the Loyal compliment. We also have a new Premium member in the form of Tender Bisquit, who instantly acquired the rank upon registration for his part in two past features, Troika and Cyclopean. As such, he holds the strange position of our only Premium ever to have absolutely no posts on the forums, and he seems to be intent on keeping it that way. Still, keep an eye out for him.

Competitive:
Flexure
Deadbolt

TGIF ODST Edition Winner

For our 42nd instalment of TGIF we decided to celebrate the launch of Halo 3: ODST with a night dedicated to Firefight. Teams of four Forge Hub members gathered together to try and lay down the highest score and nab themselves a set of custom titles. The winning party consisted of RedNeck, MasterTMarksman, dargie1 and Cobalt37, with their score of 1,610,052 on Lost Platoon, Heroic difficulty. Gratz guys.


Template Contest Winners

As you may have seen, the winners of the Template Contest were released at long last. First place was snagged by nuvnuv123 with his entry, The Outback. Look out for the upcoming video of The Outback edited by Bl00D F1R3, the reward for nuvnuv123's efforts in ousting the competition.


Hub of the Dead

The deadline for submissions in our Hub of the Dead infection map building contest has just passed, and we know many have a sour taste in their mouths after how long the Template Contest winners took to appear. But fret not, we're putting on our judging hats right from the word go with this one, and have got a compliment of critics ready to inspect your infection masterpieces. Keep your eyes peeled for the results to appear on an encroaching, rather poetically suitable holiday, we promise.


MLG H3FF Map Pack 2 Launch

The second iteration of the MLG H3FF Map Pack has launched. In case you missed out on the first one, check it out here. They're mixing it up this time around and have organized what will hopefully end up being something pretty special. So if you fancy you some MLG and think your forging is up to snuff, time to put your mapz where your mouth is. Hit the jump above and let's see some magic.


HaloHub

Some of you may remember the FH: RPG run by FBU, which sadly seems to have come to a halt in recent times. But Killor118 has stepped up to the mark and crafted his own online RPG in the spirit of Forge Hub. Have a look at his HaloHub thread to find out more, download the game and get started creating your own character. The whole process is laid out step by step and is very user friendly, so be sure to check it out! See you in game!


Catch ya on the Flip Side, Hubbers

We're signing off for now, kind folks. Be sure to check back in a fortnight for some more forgin update goodness. In the meantime, keep forging, and please stay safe over Halloween!
