So I am some what disappointed with Halo 4 forge. Now before I start let me just say all the new features are amazing. It’s much easier to forge good maps. The problem I have with forge that disappoints me is only having a UNSC template. UNSC looks way better then Halo Reach forge pieces but it’s still boring. The thing I love about Halo 4 is the forerunner architecture. I love to just stop in campaign and multiplayer and stare at the forerunner objects. I was really hoping to have the chance of building awesome maps in a forerunner look. With bright lights and floating pieces that move around and object.
The point of my thread is ask if in some DLC if we can get a ton of forerunner objects. Even more then current UNSC objects. I really feel like a great opportunity is being missed here with such beautiful alien architecture. Also I would like to see a new forge map in DLC one that’s more open and flat. Now I love the 3 maps that we have already but I really wanted to make a huge Mantis battle map and that seems hard to do correctly on the current maps.
Anyways, I am interested to know what would you the community would like to see in forge also?
I’m glad that I’m not the only one disappointed with the forge. I was really hoping for a lot more than the same objects from Reach with some new features. I think my greatest disappointment thus far was seeing that there were pipes on Erosion that we could use and I put it down and I can’t even walk through it. All my dreams of the greatest zombies or Flood maps gone in smoke. Would love to see more than just one theme of item per map. Why can’t you add an option like the item color change for items that would change a UNSC item to a Flood, Covey, or Forerunner theme item. I would love to be able to mix and match items in this way.
The three maps separate are great, love them, would like to see less restrictions on where I can build my stuff. It seems as if these mapmakers design an amazing map and then put of barriers up so you can’t build in the best spots, are the kill volumes really necessary? The greatest part about forge in Halo 3 was that you could go out of the maps and do stuff, being contained by the kill volumes really sucks in forge and not to mention campaign.
I’m very disappointed in forge also. Can’t spawn any type of structures and buildings. Just left with the bare map and no option to add on to it except for items and a few vehicles…
The forge in Halo 4 is just the Reach forge with a few new gadgets and toys…rather lame if you ask me. The jump from H3 to Reach was awesome…for their first outing, 343i has let me down with their forge.
I’m disappointed too. Some functions like LOCK are really nice, but the lack of a MASSIVE forge world seems a real kick to the groin. I know Impact is fairly large, but it’s not THAT large.

Guess thats a good sign since they didn’t even work on it. ;D
The kill barriers with the 10 second warning were dug up from the depths of hell and placed into Halo 4’s maps just to bring pain and anguish to those who previously loved exploring Forge maps in Halo 3 (dunes of Sandbox).
Halo 4’s forge is definitely lacking in scale, the lack of forge world scale maps was foreseeably but nether the less disappointing, and the lack of falcons and hornets is a real kick in the metaphorical nuts for UNSC themed maps. The game is fantastic, but I fear that this will also damage the capacity for custom games, and through this the game as a whole.
Personally, I just want a remake of Sandbox. That map was amazing for forge, and the pallet actually fit with the map. The UNSC pallet for Ravine looks so out of place =\
I really hope that they bring back Sandbox, or a map similar to Sandbox because personally that was the best forge map ever in my opinion.
Large amounts of people are disappointed with both Forge and Custom Games, the two customization modes in the Halo sandbox.
Just for fun, go to the “Spawning” items, place an initial spawn point in the game, and take a close look at it. You’ll be surprised once you notice it.
