Hello there good reader! This is a featured map article so, whadya know, we're about to present you with a delectable map for you to play with your friends. Thankfully Halo 3 should still exist in your regular rotating roster of rotund media that revolves in your 360 disc tray, before Halo:Reach shoves it aside to secure dominance over your life.

OK enough with the melodrama; this here map is called Flag Frenzy and it was created by Spawn of Saltine. To get an idea of what Flag Frenzy is all about, imagine if Capture the Flag were Dr Jeckyll; well then Flag Frenzy would be its psychopathic alter ego Mr Hyde. Get the picture? No? Well that's because this is just text - the pictures are below, ha ha! Don't you dare skip straight to them though!

So, in non-metaphorical terms, what do you do in Flag Frenzy? Well, that all depends on which role the game puts you in. You can be a Fhrower (Flag thrower.), Catcher (Grab the flag in mid-air and score.), or a Shooter (Stop the catchers, by means of Gauss-powered obliteration!). Part of the fun of the game is that your role may be different in subsequent playthroughs, adding variety to proceedings. Whichever role you're given though, they all play an important part and, more importantly, they're all a blast to play. Well, actually I suppose being the shooter is a blast to play, as the thrower it's a toss to play, and as a catcher it's a pinch to play, ho ho!

Flag Frenzy is a mini-game with a team-oriented competitive streak to it; it can just be about having a fun silly time, jumping and throwing and shooting like idiots, or you can plan to work with your teammates, and use precision and dexterity to try and wage a score war with the opposing team; whichever tickles your fancy (I'm very ticklish there!). So gather a big group of chum(p)s together and go have some fun on Flag Frenzy.

Grab some marshmallows, pitch your tent, tend to the fire. And sing about love and strum your old six-string in the cool darkness from dusk to dawn. Embrace the moment; this is the last bit of solace before reality is loosed upon you in the most painfully metaphoric manner conceivable. These campgrounds aren’t your typical park! Most of us can’t even find a good enough place to set up and camp for the night, but if you are lucky enough to find a manageable location you won’t be given enough time to set up and sit down. Campgrounds is a fountain of movement that flows ceaselessly until the end of time (usually about fifteen minutes, unless you manage to get those tricky flags sooner.) Guess what else? It has a Sentinel Beam too.

Of course you must now be wondering, “How is the accurate Quake remake with perfect flow and a Sentinel Beam not a winner in the bygone Foreign Treasures Contest?" Well, this map used to be holier than Swiss cheese in the Pope’s underpants before MickRaider and Bloo Jay made some much needed renovations. Now Campgrounds can also boast that it’s as waterproof as the poncho you wear when it gets wet, along with all of those awesome traits it already claimed. And those marshmallows; since you’ll be dying you won’t be eating them I presume?

Boasting a bold, almost symmetrical design, Dyad is a prime example of what a forged map can be. The bonds of forge are truly broken. Unlike standard box layouts, the map uses a more natural, flowing shape that creates a solid, intriguing feel to a degree reminiscent of default maps. The entire creation fits together perfectly and genuinely feels like an actual area of play and boasts a unique, airy atmosphere created by the open windows and the bright and sunny look of Sandbox's mid-level. The natural, sloping terrain of the sand is utilized well and enhances the overall experience by reinforcing the desert theme. The smooth construction employs the use of both stone and wooden structures to succeed in creating a clean, and more importantly, consistent appearance. The aesthetics of the map are as much a part of the experience as the gameplay.

Height variation is a strong-point of the map. Each area is unique; the central "courtyard" which has an open, sandy look while the "pit" has a tighter stone feel. Flowing transitions tie the map together to create strong gameplay. The weapon set compliments the design remarkably. In addition to the standard rifle placement, items of interest such as the Rocket Launcher and Overshield are placed to suggest strategic control during the heated matches. Each object ranging from the blocks to the spawn-points were placed with precision and thoughtfulness in a way that creates a oft-sought functionality. Dyad raises the bar. You'll be hard-pressed to find another map that pushes forge to the limits like Dyad while maintaining such elegance.
