new halo 5 stuff! Pegasus and orion

Noiiiiceee

Nice Find, thanks!

Map looks gorgeous.

Also this is one of the first maps to actually look like an arena map in layout…

So that’s Halo 5’s Forge huh? Not bad looking.

I’m voting Pegasus. I hope the Rocket Launcher will be in the map in the beta despite Hydra winning the vote.

Pegasus by a huge mile!! That map looks like a lot of fun and like a classic Halo Forge map!

Exactly my first thought.

Thanks for the links! I’m having trouble deciding which map I’d want to play, but I think I’m possibly leaning a bit more towards Pegasus. It seems to look a lot more like a classic Halo map rather than a super large battlefield with long sight lines.

Also, did anybody else notice this in the article?

> What about the Forge tools? How can we expect them to improve over previous incarnations? “We have made a number of improvements to usability as well as providing multiple palettes, terrain sheets, and lighting set-ups for Forgers to build with,” he answered.

It seems as though we’ll be getting more tools to customize the looks of our map as well as the layout. I’m excited to see how it builds on top of Halo 2 Anniversary’s excellent Forge!

First forge look me thinks, looks interesting and… i think the ground was forged aswell if you look at it you can see almost a seam line but looks promising… and i saw thin bars almost aswell

I might be a bit of a downer here but it’s a shame that a forge made map still has the bland overused white texture on the forge pieces. Give me custom colours -Yoink!-.

Agreed, but lets wait for the reveal!

Yeah, who knows… There very well might be some form of coloring or skinning etc. for blocks. One can hope.

Yeah and remember its still in production, they might have just used a basic colour for the moment and then gonna add textures etc :slight_smile: I liked the stone and metal texture have to say

Nice find. On first impressions im leaning towards orion but that rocket launcher on pegasus is tempting.

Looking forward to seeing what the new forge can do.

My guess is that the pieces they’re currently using are untextured. After all, the game is still a year from release, there is still a lot that is unfinished. I wouldn’t expect this to be a final representation of Forge in the least bit.

Halo always launches with about 10 multiplayer maps, so will these forge maps take up slots from those 10 or so maps. I’m honestly hoping the game launches with more maps than in the past.

im pretty sure the breakout maps are forge maps

They are according to what IGN has said in their Orion/Pegasus map reveal article.

But doesn’t Halo 5 have a remixed version for every map? So it’s more like 5 maps, then 5 similar maps.
