Marathon Infinity MapMaking Contest

You may be a seasoned cartographer already, or maybe you can't even spell "map". Regardless, with Forge and Anvil you now have in hand the best tools for making Marathon maps, and once you get into it you'll be amazed at how much fun it is, and how much finesse it can take to make a map that is both great looking and fun to play.

Outstanding maps deserve to be recognized, so enter your best in the Marathon Map Making Contest, and we'll shower you with fame and prizes! All maps submitted will be judged by a select panel of Bungie Map Designers (whose identities will remain secret to protect their families) and the top three entrants will win prizes and be posted on our website.
