I think 343 should visually enhance the top forge maps and put them out in extra map packs. That would be an insanely good idea in my opinion. The map testing would already be over. It would just be up to the graphic artists to make the map visually appealling an easy to navigate. I don’t know about you but I find it harder to move around fluidly around forge maps. Everything seems to blend together. Especially on the new blackout/lockout. With their tools, making a map look attractive shouldn’t take too long.
There is this one map I don’t remember the name but it might as well have been called Brown Land or something like that, it looked hideous and made me want to claw me eyes out. Played well though.
As nice as that would be, I don’t think that this would be possible, unfortunately. Risk of lawsuits and all that. It’s the same reason musicians and comedians don’t take fan suggestions.
Also, British Fiasco, I believe you are talking about “Despair”.
There would be no law suite threat if it were done in the form of a contest, where Forgers willing submit their maps with the goal of having them “integrated” into the graphics engine.

Yeah, the name Despair is very fitting. Although I feel like if the 343 map designer got his hands on it, he’d make it more brown, if that was possible.

Actually a great idea. It is a win/win for both players and 343
+1
You are implying this is simple.
Geometry, painting, still loads of testing, optimizing it to actually run well, and tons of other stuff I cant think of Im sure.
All I know for a fact is that this would be in no way as easy as you think.

No one could sue them. They’re taking things done in their own game, without mods etc.
It would be more difficult than people think, but there would be no legal problems.
i think they could push out a forge map pack every two months or so. 3 or 4 maps per.
You know what, Jihadist, I actually think that’s a good idea and that it could easily propell this game to new heights alongside some communication with the community, taking advice from the community and a gameplay patch.
If the community designs it, I don’t see it being too hard for 343 to redesign them, saving them from the DOWNRIGHT HORRIBLE FORGE COLOURS.
How could this possibly be a bad idea?
