Good lord, no most people want it to be flat. What do you do if you need a spot to be flat and there’s terrain there by default that can’t be changed? Exactly.

what does the “AAA” stand for?
Nothing.
Its a signifier of budget and production scale.
Halo, call of duty, mainline final fantasy, god of war, fallout, are all examples of triple A franchises.
Even in masive big budget titles like these the engine is gonna use standardised set canvassing as base level geometry.
There are other tools and methods but using XbyX grid plains are still the go to starting point when building a level.
I think you miss the point. we have the tools to make it into the map WE WANT. there are tools that allow us to make hills, and many other features. also I think they said we have several thousand things we can put in. The maps are a canvas and we are supposed to use them to make what we want. the point of them is to have a background to set a theme. not to make the maps for us.

Not with the current pace lol. All hands on tech for another whopping 2 maps, one new weapon, and 2 battle pass tier increases.
A blank canvas is the best route to go because then you can make your own unique choices.
Now what would’ve been perfect is just a completely blank map and let us pick the theme for the background from past Halo games.
The purpose of the blank area is for forgers to fill the space. Biomes provide the skybox and world lighting, but the map makers fill in the rest.
I remember H4 introduced green screens. Maybe they could have a setting that changes 1 or more faces of the skybox into a green screen and forgers use whatever background they want.

The issue is that old forgers expect a map to build their own work around, while the newer forge modes are built like a cheaper form of map-making tools, bringing both into conflict.
Most of the maps are very rough, and finding a game is tough, most are empty, obviously Forge did not bring people back to the game. Halo Infinite Steam player count right now is 3,534, Destiny 2 is 71,110.
In no way do I mean this as a criticism of people creating maps, people are trying to make this game better.
On the other hand, I think 343 has packed up and vacated the building, maybe left one light on, this whole game feel very rough and unattended too.
I think they should give us premapped terrain like the early H5 canvases but with a second canvas of the same biome but entirely flat. That would fit both niches I’m seeing people ask for.
I’d be down for a Forgeworld/Flatworld duo pack. I mean not for Infinite cause I loathe Infinite, but I’d be down for a future title.
Man get out of here. Why are you on the Infinite subforum at all?
Can we get a remake of forge world 343i? I would love that.
I can go where I please.
