I saw an image in another post that showed each Infinite canvas is big enough to hold Forge World.
They are literally twice the size of a Halo 5 canvas.
Forge is going to be huge

I mean I wouldn’t mind Forge Canvases like Glacier & Alpine but I don’t mind the Flat canvases because it gives me the options to create the ground I want & add the map over it especially since it’s bigger than Halo 5 I get more options

They looked fine to me. They’re just customizable backdrops for the actual maps, anyways. Nothing to lose our minds over, unlike most of everything else they’ve presented to boot.
I mean, there was a desert one, a space one, underwater one, marshlands, and plains/live-fire one.
But no snow themed one, or banished theme one.
Which is a bummer, since most of the maps currently available are UNSC maps. Yes there are a couple of forerunner maps, and maybe a banished one if you count Breaker. But infinite just needs a lot more variety, maps and forge canvases. There just isn’t enough diversity in the map sandbox.
That’s what made the old Halo games so create. There was a plethora of UNSC/Covenant/Forerunner maps all around. It didn’t necessarily feel like one faction was dominating over the other.
Because they can’t actually report us in any meaningful way. So they have to find another way to discredit us, lmao.

Untrue. Reach had:
Cave systems, Underwater locations, even a secret room under the mountain, a hanger, and plenty of cliffs.
There were plenty of different biomes you could use on Forge World alone.

I probably spend more time in Forge than you do. I’ve racked up at least 1k hours in Forge if not more over the last couple of years alone. And no none of these canvases outside the marsh are “new” they’re high res ports of Depths, Barrens, Parallax, and Tidal from Halo 5.
…So okay you definitely don’t spend more time in forge than I do. Barrens took place on Sangheilios. Like very obviously.
Parralax is just… Space. Space kinda’ doesn’t get too varied when you’re orbiting a garden world.
Tidal and Depths? Tidal MIGHT be the same.
But no, you haven’t spent more time in Forge than me. I’ve been at it since 2007.

Why don’t they add forge world back???

Because they don’t need to.
You can literally take a couple of rocks, rotate them, and scale them to hills / mountains.
You can create your own Forge World in minutes.
And give it a week, there will be multiple versions of the old Forge World anyway. And only using a tiny fraction of the budget.

You can’t be serious
There is no way they can make forge world look as good as it was in reach, skybox, mountains outside the actual map, the sky, every little detail.
As usual, 343 hates everythin bungie made and they’re still trying to distance themselves from bungie as much as possible
I am serious, and I wish you had called me Shirley.
Not 100% obviously. But no reason from what we’ve seen it can’t be very good.
The skyboxes look good.
What we won’t have on day one is the water though. We’ll have to be a little bit patient for that.
This version of Forge urinates on Reach from a great height. As good as Reach’s was.
We don’t need a static Forge World any more.
I’m not talking about forge improvements, forge in general is more advanced for sure, i’m talking about the design of the canvases themselves, what’s the point of making them completely empty? Maybe just one could be empty but not the others
Like the name suggests, they are empty because you are supposed to fill them with geometry, lighting and actors.
Think of them like a background for your level. Wanna do a space station arena that shows space when you look out of the window? Use the space canvas etc.
I agree that the selection is kinda limited and hope that more will be added. It will be very interesting to see if Forge can revive this trainwreck.

I’ve been at it since 2009, due to the fact that my parents wouldn’t even let me use an Xbox till I was 16, Yeah they were strict, but eventually I got Halo. I’ve spent more time Forging than actually playing MP or Campaign lol
Because that would require time and effort that 343 do not have nor want to give. Easier to make a flat than bring back or even modernize a fan favorite.
Exactly! Part of the fun of Reach’s Forge and Hell even Halo 4’s Forge was that we could make our own maps in what seemed to be locales in-universe. There was none of this simulation nonsense, everything was essentially done naturally.

You don’t understand how forge in infinite works then. You can add all your own terrain with seriously moinimal effort. Watch the first forge info video.
