I have not played it yet because I am still focusing on playing masterchief collection but they all look like Forge maps. Is 343 seriously going to use Forge to make these maps? I don’t mind Forge maps I like them but I want some unique maps, not a bunch of maps with the typical Forge structures.
What do you mean 15? There are only four maps in the playlist, and I haven’t heard anything specific about future content updates.
so tired of all the whining I see on this forum, keep it to yourself and just be happy you have a new halo to play. Being able to play halo isn’t your personal right that you get to justify the terms of, it is a privilege.

I mean, as a paying customer, it kinda is.

Pretty much.
They are promising more than 15 free maps by next summer. So far the 4 released have looked like damn Forge maps. The stereotypical Forge block structures are all in them, why the hell is 343 using their forge creator to make these “free maps”. These are not free maps, they are just forged created maps, a real free map would be a unique map not designed using forge.
“The game will reportedly include more than 20 multiplayer maps right out of the gate, with more than 15 maps being released as DLC by June 2016. Microsoft will give each of these away for free to avoid dividing players into groups of those who do and do not own them–something that has increasingly become a problem for shooters over the years.”

They dont Count as DLC-Maps. They have been made by professionel Forgers and are just there to sneak-Peak forge
I want something original, unique, and not made in Forge.

How do you know? What is your source for this?

Yea same with me, Forge maps are still great but free DLC maps should not be made in Forge since there can be loads of Forge maps anyway. They should add a Forge only playlist eventually. Forge maps should also be mixed in with regular maps, the best ones.
People talking like any kind of forge map isn’t unique. Last I checked all maps are unique. And its still free DLC not counting to the “hand made” maps that are coming for the rest of Arena
All Forge maps have those similar block like structures and similar terrain, unless the new Forge actually has a terrain selector instead of the generic grasslands terrain, like desert, snow, rocky terrain that looks like mars in addition to the regular grasslands type.
It’s just a cheaper way to bring out content, also this ensures that all the money they get from the reqs stays in their pocket since they won’t have to waste money developing new actual maps
I’d like to see an official statement from 343 which clearly says the 4 forged maps in BTB maps do not count toward the DLC maps, AND that the rest of the maps WON’T be forged maps. People keep repeating that this is the case, but I’ve yet to see a single source to back it up. While I’m hoping I’ve just missed the links to such sources, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if 343 wasn’t planning for all the DLC maps to be forged either. So, as the OP has requested, if anybody knows of one, please drop a link to back up these claims. Thanks.

They’ll be wasting their time thinking about anything past Halo 6 if they think it’s a waste of money to develop actual new and unique maps.

Calling forged maps unique maps is like calling live concert audio that’s been recorded on an iPhone and then uploaded to pirate bay a brand new studio album.

They wil be wasting their time if they are thinking of anything past H5 if this is the actual case
If they forge the entirity of the “free” map packs I would advocate no one buy H6
I for one am getting quiote tired of 343i’s shady business ethic

It’s easy to tell when people complain about something they haven’t actually experienced.
That’s what every single “BTB sucks because forged maps” thread is like.
Go play BTB. The maps are awesome, forged or not. You’d never even know they weren’t originally made unless someone told you.

Thats not really the point tho is it?
the req system was meant to finance the “free map packs” which it already has done, many times over
And instead of giving us unique legitimate maps, they are using a forge pallet that they have intentionally withheld from the launch of the game
And I say intentionally withheld because its obviously ready since two of the launch maps and all of the BTB maps were made on it

People can actually play/experience something that you like, dislike them, and then proceed to complain. I assure you, it is possible. What doesn’t help anybody or anything are posts like ^this one^ from YOU.
