Someone in this world has to agree with me. When I first played Forge maps in Reach I couldn’t believe how terrible they were, playing the same environment over and over again. 343 just needs to release the official upcoming new maps in DLC like they are going to, and NO FORGE MAPS EVER. If people love forge so much, why can’t they just set up custom games? Halo is BETTER without forge.
Synapse, Kingdom, and even Foundry (H3 map) were made from Forge, and they are solid. The problem isn’t maps aren’t good, the problem is that who ever accepts them into matchmaking has no idea what they are doing.
If forge maps were to be in matchmaking I would prefer they be in seperate playlist. I paid money for a game made by the developers… not random people (Not trying to belittle anyones Forge skills).
Forge is one of the reasons my friends and I purchase and love the Halo series. Forge gives:
*Much more maps and variety (while the majority is most likely bad there are great ones)
*New and unique ideas that the developers wouldn’t have thought of
*An endless stream of maps and content for as long as the community is alive
*A place to screw around on and have fun
*A place to recreate and build lore/story structures or even random cool things
Why would you not want forge?

This, this, and this. At least, it was completely true for Bungie. Hopefully community forge maps are chosen based on quality and reception rather than deciding “hey, lets put this internet-famous guy’s terrible map in a vital playlist!”
I miss forge-world… sniffles Not just because of the open space, but because it was so much easier to see all the maps together under one thing (as opposed to like, three different forge maps)
