Am I the only person who doesn’t like forge maps in competitive multiplayer? With the exception of breakout I think that forge maps shouldn’t be allowed in competitive arena multiplayer. I just find it lazy and not as pleasing to the eyes as developer made maps. Maybe I am the only one with this opinion but take Orion for example. I find it kinda unbalanced and just not as enjoyable. I didn’t like it in the beta and I certainly don’t like it in the vanilla game. My main concern is that what happened to reach is what will happen to Halo 5: Guardians. I don’t want a map rotation that is heavy on forge maps that makes it feel like I am playing the same map over and over again. Like I mentioned earlier breakout doesn’t apply to this because I think breakout was developed with forge maps in mind and not something that the developer tried to make work with something that already exists. I just want different maps with different looks and I just think that Halo 5 is the best MP since Halo 2 that I am concerned it will be tarnished over time. I know it is way early to have this fear but the sooner the community puts in its input the better, and also off the fact the few amount of games I played I already have played on Orion 4 of the 12 games of slayer I have participated in which if you ask me is absolutely ridiculous given that I there are like 13 or so arena maps. Hope Everyone is enjoying Halo 5 as much as I am. It is really fun and exciting to play a halo game that is not only refreshing but still feels like halo.
Personally I am the polar opposite, being I am a forger and I enjoy to make maps. The only problem I have with this is that I can never find people to play with on my maps. People are sparse towards me and it makes it hard for me to play my maps that I really do enjoy with anymore than 2,3 or even 4 people. I would love to see maps in halo 5 especially with the capabilities with the new forge. The amount of creativity can lead to whole new environments for people to duke it out. for instance in halo 4 I made a map called the river which was a large, all natural map that I know people still use in their custom games on the 360. I think they are great and with the new abilities and the new diversity in environments, and the remakes of old maps coming back, it would be perfect.
You are NOT the only one. Want me to make you more mad with Forge maps? They count as DLC maps, yeah thats right those 16 FREEEEEE DLC maps are really just a bunch of forge maps with a few maps with reused assets.
