We want to get your maps into matchmaking!
There are times where we will be looking to vet a variety of community-made maps for specific purposes and playlists, such as when we provided some templates for Husky Raid maps back in our twelfth Forge Features issue.
We are looking for Forgers to submit maps themed around the seasons – Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
Maybe you’ve got a Halloween-themed map in-mind for some horrifying haunted house hostilities, or perhaps a snowy wonderland where grenades may be exchanged for some explosive Holiday cheer…
Once your map is in a state you’re happy with, you need to publish it and tag it with the relevant “343ask” tag, which are:
We can’t wait to see you flex those creative muscles and show us what you’ve been cooking!
Speaking of which, let’s take a look at some new map recommendations…

That plays us out for this issue of Forge Features. Bookmark some cool new maps, get a customs night set up with your friends (or just hop into the Custom Games Browser), and see what cool season-themed maps you can build that just might find their way into matchmaking in the future!
We’ll catch you classy cartographers next time.
