Do any of the existing forge maps offer an area in which you can reach the water? On forge world I often used the water as a barrier to keep players from leaving the map or to prevent ugliness from rocks below. Thanks.
I know Ravine has water on it, but I don’t know if you can actually go down to where it is due to barriers.

Thanks. I hope you can

I’m not sure if you can get down to the water. When they were doing that ‘PIE’ thing on the first forge video, one of them died when he went too close to the water. I hope they’ve changed that, as I’m wanting to make a island like level.
A little off topic here but I just hate kill barriers and ‘Return to the battlefield’ areas in forge. I mean, it’s forge. I should be able to forge where I want. Invisible walls surrounding the map I can understand, but kill barriers and the like I just find annoying.
Example: Do you remember when Halo 4’s forge mode was first shown? It was on the level ‘Ravine’. At the beginning of the level the player was near the top of the clif. The player moved just a bit when it said ‘Return to the battlefield’. What if we want to forge up there? I think it’s just plain silly.
Agreed. Especially if you forge like I do. I typically build floating maps that are completely enclosed because I find the terrain troublesome and asymmetrical. I will typically build high up or pretty close to the water in order to prevent players from seeing places that don’t fit in on the map. Barriers make this difficult
I think someone confirmed that the limit was a meter or so above the water on Erosion. I won’t bother finding the link, but I was disappointed.
I will be pissed if you cant forge into the water
I’m a little bit disappointed about the Forge. The only fun Forge map is Impact, but it isn’t big. There’s not going to be a map like Forge World anymore

Forge World sucked.
The environments alone were amazing, for the most part, but in one map, they ruined Reach’s Forge.
I think all locations are interesting.

Same. Someone might want to build a level where water plays a roll in the map. E.g. Floodgate form Reach’s invasion matchmaking.
They might want an infection map where the players have to make their way through a flooded corridor or something like that… Well, that’s going to be a bit difficult to do when you can’t even move within a metre of the water and suddenly drop dead!
Again, just plain silly…

Why is that? There were amazing maps made on Forge World. The scale is what made it so good. You could really create something beautiful of incredible size. That’s what Halo 4 is missing. The Campaign is great and Infinity matchmaking is perfect, but the Forge mode could’ve used some more work.
I find it odd that they have made the game more centralized around larger scale combat yet have given us relatively small forge areas. Not a huge problem for me since I make mostly 4v4 maps that aren’t TOO large. I just hope it accommodates my ideas.
