Okay, real talk 343; I got the game with the idea that forge was gonna be way better. But to slap in the face with that idea was just cruel.
First you reuse all the same structures from reach with only a few new ones that arn’t even that good.
Then you remove the slow motion adjusting reach had when you press in the left stick and remove the zoom ability.
Give maps not even half the size of forge world.
Ruin the next gen lighting effect and make annoying magnets that take all skill out of making an okay map.
The campaign is good and the flood is good.
Havn’t looked into custom games yet but people were complaining so that wont be fun.
What are you guys even doing? Though huge props on the graphics i thought it was live action in the prolouge so props on that.
Magnets are actually pretty useful for setting up certain sections of your map more quickly, and you can turn them off when you want to fine tune a particular spot of the map.
As cool as the new environments are, they need to be redone. They are WAY too small. I tried Erosion yesterday and was shocked at its miniscule size after it looked so big in videos. Also, pre-made structures. Why… On top of that, there’s always a structure or natural feature like a hill in the way of everything… give us open, natural, flatter space guys, come on…
Not to mention no UNSC flying vehicle, no medium sized Covie ground vehicle (Revenant, Chopper, etc.)…
Plasma batteries are gone.
Armor Abilities no longer project their symbol, so I have no idea what each one is until I walk over it.
The rest is fine. However 343, if you want me and many others to actually use Halo 4’s Forge over Reach’s, make some improvements. At the very least release a refurbished Forge World with a DLC. That would make me happy. Otherwise, I expect to spend less time in 4’s Forge than Reach’s.
I had a plan to finish my first map pack in a week, then I saw the forge so I had to tell everyone… It’s going to be just a bit longer cos forge is so bad…
Also they’ve got rid of most games type like, territories, assault, VIP, juggernaught and that’s just a couple and infection… Is no longer infection, I was planning to make the first ‘halo’ infection remake on H4 but I can’t now, I mean I couldn’t anyway cos the maps aren’t big enough which I’m not even going to get started on…
The pallet sane as reaches I’m not overly bothered about tbh so I’m alright with that but everything else!!
Note i said to make an okay map not just a map; I was saying one that flows good without random bumps and holes in the map, good balance between the team and such. if you just throw something together without that stuff in mind then no it took no skill; but if you strove for the perfect map both visibly and functionally then it did take some skill. Though that is not what I’m concerned about now, they need to release a free patch to fix what the ruined.
