Looks good for a Guardian remake
isnt it fun messing around with this map?

No, half the stuff on that map can be done any other map, the forge mushrooms are way too small.

Ok, then.

I disagree. I’ve got plenty of gripes with 343, but this map is awesome. The fact that I can make maps like Beaver Creek is awesome.

umm, a few of those “mushrooms” can hold two freaking grids…thats not small in my book.
Either these “mushrooms” are smaller than they were in the demo at PAX, or the forge pieces are much bigger. I tried placing down the bases for Hemorrhage/Blood Gulch, and they just seem too close, even when placed borderline on the edges of the largest island.
Oh, and there aren’t enough rock pieces. Can’t efficiently create cliff sides and the cave and cliff structures of Blood Gulch without missing textures or whole areas.
Making a giant “map” that makes current maps seem small…consists of a lot of teleporters…going to need a lot of gameplay tests. All 3 islands will be used, and might use the “hidden” area too.
Thanks OP! Definitely going to use that area!

Oh really?
How many completely flat spaces are there, without the need to use the budget to make a completely flat space, in the other maps? And how big?
How many of the other maps have absolutely no forced objects on them?
How many of the other maps allow you to Forge objects into the water? And let the players run in it?
How many of the other maps allow huge open spaces? I’m talking Yoinking huge.
How many of the other maps allow you to remake, say Blood Gulch in a really good size? How about something bigger with more budget required? Like Headlong?
Is the Coliseum in Erosion better than Forge Island? Why? How?
How many of them, in Halo 4 or any other Halo, have forgeable Trees?
Don’t get me wrong, the other Forge maps have their own positives (looks, lighting, really bumpy spaces), but Forge Island is the definitely the best of all 4 of them.
There’s nothing small about this environment, except the small island 
While there are some things that could be better, it is what people have been asking for since the hay-day of Forge World.
For 343, I’m not really disappointed… it’s a reasonable space to work with.
Thank you very much for this.
I’ve already started making a giant ramp on this map.
Me and a friend were able to get a scorpion kill from 2.9 kilometers away
I gained access to the interior of all 3 Islands using PanCam. I speculated that the interiors could be used for forging. In any case the proprties are the same for all three islands so they probably can all be used. I also thaught this was interesting.
I really like Forge Island, but I think it’s funny that there are even more mushroom islands in the background. The whole planet is a mushroom kingdom.
