They all look pretty darn good. Cat 'N Mouse, especially, looks like a blast to play.

Thanks, Sketch. ;)

Thanks for the feature. We are always trying to do what we can to help the community. Of course finding quality maps to add to our database can become quiet a task. Enjoy the site, everyone!

Cheers!

Were it so easy

wait...bungie links to a best of 2007 list voted on by 36 people.... wtf?

in case you didnt notice >_> "That's everything, everybody. I want to give a huge shout-out to the members who voted for these maps...all 36 of them. Out of our 1350 members, 36 voted. That's .0266%. I realize that writing in was a bit more work, but still. We'll be working on a better way to do it next time. Hopefully we'll get a lot more input next time! Thanks to everyone who voted!"

These maps look amazing! I think it's time for Bungie to role out a Forged Map playlist, cause the limited playlist we've had for the past month or two has gotten stale. You could defintly put Bungie 500 in your race playlist, maybe then someone would play it. Point is make a new playlist with some good forged maps, you could even call it Team ActionSack.

This could be the breath of fresh air that Halo 3 multiplayer has been needing for awhile, and i hate to burst your world domination bubble but a couple new maps for another 10 bucks that we can only play in a extremely limited playlist until probably late summer is not going to bring people back from COD4 or GH3 or AC or whatever they chose to spend their time on instead of playing the same old stagnet games they played hundreds of times already on the same 10 maps.( i know theres more than 10 maps but really 99% hate half the maps, are ok with 4 or them and really like 3 of them)

The freakin holidays are over Bungie, no more excuses, get back to work and whatever your doing to increase the replay value, do it soon.

And quit saying crap like this

"Changes to our matchmaking playlists will continue to be something we’re looking at(for a really long time) – that’s not just limited to Hardcore or Team Objective(duh) or any new hoppers we may introduce. They will also occasionally fix bugs you may not associate with matchmaking, such as geometry abuses on certain maps. Some things are easy to tweak, some things will have to wait on more significant updates."

"Bungie is a growing studio. We’re finding ways to keep folks busy"(Really, it's been the same game for awhile now, minus some maulers or possibly a radar)

"As to your original question, we are still tuning the next Matchmaking Playlist update and will let you know precisely what’s planned fairly soon." (You could be a little more vague if you really tried to.)

I really hope you guys drop a bomb on the 18th. I'm almost ready to see what the big deal is with COD4 or AC, not GH3 though...-blam!-s weak.

Some of the best maps for custom games I have seen. I can't wait to try them with friends they are awesome!

Some of these maps could be added into a new matchmaking playlist (ranked and social) that everyone could play, such as the SWAT and free for all levels, and that capture the flag game where it is one small tunnel. The Citadel looks great for that too.

I dont agree with the best racemap. i played it and our group has been made tracks that are way better that that... Im not sayibg it bad. im just saying i have seen better

  • 01.12.2008 2:06 PM PDT

First of all... I would like to thank Bungie's support in our progress. And thanks True for allowing me to be a part of this monumental group.

Second, personanimal... Bungie 500 was selected as the best racetrack map, because it eliminated all honor rules for racing... no walking to get laps, no shortcuts, etc... At Forge Hub, we do our best to publish maps that do not require the honor system to operate. No cheating for those that like to... sorry ;)...

Anyways, peace out you guys... and thank you all for your support in our endeavors...

It's amazing how most of ForgeHub's "best user-created maps of 2007" were created by the guys who run the website.

I agree with Tunnel Raid. (Not created by Forge Hub.) .......Where is "Spikeball"?

If we had lost that thread, I would have committed suicide. On the spot.

And to whomever said "all the maps are by ForgeHub Guilders...":

Duh. That's why they're the leaders of the site. They make the best maps. It's really quite simple. Only the best are allowed to be Guilders, and, thus, only high-quality maps are produced. Rather than hatin' on it, you should download a map or two and try having a good time. They're remarkably well-made.

I agree they are well made. There is a lot of time and effort into producing and testing them. I have been a part of testing a few of them.

All I am saying is Bungie is pointing out to the mostly unaware million or so that forgehub's list is the compilation of the best maps out there. I disagree with that because there are hundreds of high quality forgers out there who don't even know about forgehub. The list is a little flawed in my opinion.

I love forgehub and love the work those guys do over there, but for Bungie to only recognize that small "window" of user created content is a crime.

I'm not knocking the forgehub guys. I'm just simply saying that Bungie needs to figure out ways to feature the hundreds of high quality forge creations out there.

Kudos to the guilders who have found a way to get their maps "out there" but Bungie needs to step up to the plate and make some changes to accommodate all of the hard work coming out of the community.

@JoeSki73
Maybe because people FROM FH voted on their favorite maps? They are at FH for a reason, and it's probably because they like the maps...


The site is down because of all the traffic =(

@JoeSki73
Well people voted on maps posted on forgehub. If you had posted spikeball on forgehub and voted for it, it could have won for best minigame. For instance the best racetrack (Bungie 500), best CTF (Tunnel Raid), and best gameplay, (Cratefrenzy) were all made independantly of the site. However all these maps were either featured or posted on the site. The creators of the maps utilized forgehub to get people to try them out their maps b/c we all know it is hard to get people to notice your maps on the bng.net forums.

If you check out the site, you will find that it does not self promote itself, but rather draws a great community where you are garunteed to find people to help test out your maps and improve your forging skils.

Again the website is in for repairs due to the amount of visitors...I can't even get in and I am a guilder :(
