Welcome!

So happy to have you here this fine Friday. @Takka has reached out to me with a fun opportunity. Like what they have done in the past, we're bringing you a mapping contest. The prizes sit at $100 for first, $50 for second, and 5 Raffle Tickets for third. Also first place ( Like our wonderful donors c: ) gets an exclusive badge next to their name they can use to brag to all their friends c;

 

FAQ

Q: What is it?

A: All you need to do is create a custom map (not yet released), and submit a forum post about it before the deadline. This time our Halo overlords have blessed us with the editing kits for later games; so we felt it might be fun to expand our scope to allow any game from MCC. We've gotten some feed back from the community as well about previous mapping competitions and we hope this year we can fine tune things a bit better to the community. We will have a slightly extended submission duration at a month and a half from today. We wanted to keep the duration manageable, without incentivizing procrastination. This should also give some extra time to debug any issues we might have with the quirks of the newer editing kits. Submissions will be voted for 1 week, beginning a week after closing date. This will allow the community time to get acquainted with the new maps and form opinions. We are only going to allow one submission per person.

 

Q: Can I work with a team?

A: You are more than welcome to work in teams; however, this is not required. If you do work in a team though, you cannot submit individually. We request still that there is only one submission per person. This is to hopefully drive users to quality over quantity. In the case that you do work with a team, one user must be the designated liaison who will be responsible for receiving potential prize money and distributing it amongst the members. OC will not responsible for the distribution to individual members. This individual will also be in charge of hosting the map and creating the submission post.

 

Q: How will I be contacted if I win something?

A: In the event that you win a monetary prize, a moderator will reach out to you through the DM system on this website, and prize money will be paid out through PayPal. In the case you win tickets, the OC ticketing system will send you a notification on this website.

Let's get this party started!

If anyone is looking to make a map and is willing to take on a team member, please get in contact with me if/when you have the time.

I'm fresh to this and want to take the opportunity to have a hands-on learning experience alongside others working on a map.

I guess I can make my 15th map. Already drew a layout today. Now that I think about it, I've never made a beach/island based map.

Damn, you've been mapping in MCC now too??

Lots of people are having issues with MCC tools at the moment since the most recent update btw. Stuff seems to be breaking, and people can't compile maps as of now for H3.

We are currently aware of the issue, sadly atm need to wait and see how long this remains an issue. If they fix it in a week/two, we may consider just extending the a bit. If it's an issue through the whole duration of the competition though we will have to come up with a more solid solution.

 

Essentially we will accommodate for this as best we can. We hope for the best; however, we are preparing for the worst. I do apologize for the inconvenience though
