Hey 343 iv been a devout halo fanatic since halo 1, lanning at a buddies house and even taking the old xbox to meadowlands or mlg dallas that way all of us could get some nostalgia with our halo 2 / 3. Now forge is a large part of the community i think we can all agree, from the map making days of Halo 2 via Halomods main site to the up coming of sites like Forge Hub we try out best to make fun maps for everyone to enjoy, and sometimes are even lucky enough to have our maps be posted to the xbl section for the whole world to play and enjoy.
The pallet for halo 4’s forge is still as good as ever, ya’ll defiantly made it easier for us but the limited space we have on maps like erosion, ravine, and the only really wide open but closed pallet map of impact make it extra hard for us forgers to come up with some really breathtaking and innovative maps.
I’m not sure what the mappacks will entail but i seriously hope ya’ll consider an Infinity style forgeworld, with the awesome maps ya’ll have givin us so far you got free rein with were to go with it and i know we’d all love ya that much more.
If we were to have forerunner pieces back, we could make some amazing things this time around. Perhaps different from the pieces we recieved in Halo Reach, but keeping the forerunner style we see in the games. Covenant scenery/pieces also need to make an appearance. As for the maps, it would be far better to have an open, natural map with no built-in structures that get in our way.
Also, on areas such as ravine, there are areas we are not allowed to forge on for what seems to be for no apparent reason. People can build really interesting things in these areas, so putting them off limits seems pretty meaningless.
One thing I find great is that when you place rocks on Ravine, grass is growing on the top of it. That is a great feature that many will find very useful.
I couldn’t agree more. I’m sick of using the small space outside of the main, and VERY mountainous or structure-filled Islands. Plus, Not a single one of these spaces has enough water, I LOVED water, but now I can’t use it…
I like this trend of having smaller yet more forge maps to go around. This way, we get a variety of blocks and themes to fool around with. I’d especially like a covenant theme forge map to complement the human and forerunner ones we have so far.
I am actually surprised to see so many forge world fans out there, because I thought Impact/Ravine/Erosion absolutely blow it out of the water.
I very much prefer the halo 4 options/limits to Reaches forge world. Forge world allowed for a limited amount of creativity compared to three forge maps with so many different environments within them. There must be opportunity to make 20+ maps that feel absolutely unique compared to Forerunner flavour everything. I like the Sanctuary remake and Bloodgulch, and Warlock… but for the most part playing community forge maps in multiplayer was bitter sweet because they had such amazing level design but the aesthetics and feeling were basically the same for every level.
Roll on the awesome H4 forge creations… Nobody made levels too big for Halo 4s environments other than the largest assault courses and race tracks. I appreciate that some people will probably miss those but I won’t personally.
As for the original question, I guess I’ll take a forge world 2.0 if they’re offerin’ haha But (in unpopular fashion…) I’d take another “impact” instead. The impact exclusive “station” pieces just rock!
TWO CHANGES: Forgeworld 2.0 and release the ability to forge with FORERUNNER structure like the structure on Ravine and 85% of the campaign aesthetics… outcome would be the best Forge ever.
No thanks. I only said yes cause I do like the size. What I would prefer to see is a forge map similar to sandbox from halo 3 (mythic dlc was it?) but add one more layer above the sky one and make it space! I love space!
I really like the current set up of forge maps. I just think precise editing needs to return and better objects. I hate how there are no ramps that make right turns.
Hey does everyone remember Cold Storage.
You know that map we all got for FREE I know the map wasnt great but if there is a 343 day and they give out a free forge world that would be very cool.
Oh my god, yes. Please, yes. I would pay for one, even with an LE.
I had an awesome base building and defending match with friends last night, and it was so fun, but the tiny environments meant we could just snipe each other at all times and everything was so confined. They look amazing, but we need Forgeworld. If not Reach’s remade, then a giant forging area with plenty of building space. Absolutely no pre-made non-deletable structures, and no strange hills and landforms blocking the way.
But (in unpopular fashion…) I’d take another “impact” instead. The impact exclusive “station” pieces just rock!
