i personally like “some” of the new options in forge; magnets, lock pieces in place, duplicate pieces on the spot, etc. however, the lack of any decent sized map kills forging IMO. Forge World was amazing because you have 4 different parts of the map for which to build a map, and it was so big you could basically build w/e you wanted there. yet all the maps thus far have been small (as far as forging goes). there’s no real great open map to forge on…personally i want 343i to bring back Forge World
:edit: for some reason the poll saved as “I dont forget” should be “I dont forge”
I don’t remember what the maps called, but the one with the grifball court, you can make good levels in that big factory, it’s kind of like foundry, but with retardly big forge pieces and an annoying buzzing sound when you’re in forge mode, thanks for that 343/
^ The map your talking about is Erosion I believe and yeah that sound is very repetitive. What 343 Industries Really Should Look into is a map that really had an immense scale such Forge World, Yet More Variety of terrain and Texture Packs, For Example Maps Such as Sandbox from Halo 3… that consisted of 3 different platforms of customization. The Base Level, The underground cript, and The Grid Sky plateform. So yeah I really look forward to see what 343 has in-store for the 3 map packs that are under production.
Also, Under the structure column in forge, there are map based items, 343 should also have a forge map that is so big, it is mind-blowing and that has all of the map based items from every map such as Revine, Erosion, Impact, etc. etc. and then a hole lot More! The Audience wants severe variety so the audience can deliver maps that are easily as atractive has some of the base maps that 343 has to offer for instance Haven" with all of its forerunner looking textures, details,
i agree. i think the maps as i said above are just all too small or clustered for any real forging. i do like the idea of bring back that map with 3 different layers (Sandbox) and revamping it for Halo 4. i am curious to see what the 1st map pack will bring us for maps. hopefully something good for Forging
I like the idea of bringing back Forge World. I hope that 343i brings it back, but since all the dlc maps have already been announced, such is highly doubtful.
Another thing that needs to be done is thorough patch work. The repetitive buzzing noise needs to be taken out, seriously. It’s annoying.
Other than that, some minor things needs to be fixed/added in, like the ability to zoom in and carefully move pieces into place. Depending entirely on the magnet system doesn’t work very well (for me at least) and I don’t like it much to be honest. The duplicating feature though, is much appreciated.
Anyways, in summary: Forge = Disappointment. 343, fix it!
