So many of us know about the Valentine’s Day Picture that shows an environment (map) which is unlike any other in Halo 4. That includes all in-game War Games maps, all DLC maps (it is also not in the upcoming DLC Castle Map Pack), all Spartan Ops maps, all Campaign Missions, and finally none of the Forge Worlds (It is not Ravine).
They also mentioned some announcement at PAX East about “Great Anvils”. Google Great Anvils… Nothing comes up, so it has to mean something else.
We don’t know anything else past this point. However, I am one to hope, and here’s what I hope for:
Forge World comes back, either the same one, or the same one with some additions.
Along with that flying machine in Skyline. What’s that called? The Hornet.
Who says that cant happen? Just sayin’ what do you guys hope for?
(This isn’t me just connecting the dots, this is just me wanting to see what the community hopes for; in relation to this topic. No DMR nerf thread here)
I really hope they don’t bring back the old Halo Reach Forge World. Sure, it was really big which was cool, but I wasn’t exactly the best map to Forge on (though to be honest, none of the maps have ever been good for Forge. I don’t understand why they can’t have a flat map for once).
I hope its not a map as large as Forge World, but a map with a variety of terrain, and some flatter areas to Forge on.
Would like to see somewhere I can manage to sit down and Forge that has plenty of flatter natural terrain without breaking up the symmetry to much. Also hope there will be a large area to build BTB maps within, a Canyon or such.
For the love of all of Halo, I really hope the textures are Forerunner based, I can not stand these horrible Human textures we have at the moment.
I definitely think that it is Forge World. Although the Great Anvils may be hinting at Halo Wars 2 (Get it? John Forge) but for me it seems highly likely that it is Forge World or maybe new Forge Maps.
Looking at the First Picture, it’s definitely not Ravine when you look at the rocks and you also can’t find an area like that in that map. I’d also say it has a blur to give it a mysterious feel or perhaps dreamy feel. Both fit well to Forge World as Halo fans dream of Forge World and the whole thing is very mysterious. We don’t know a lot. The text talks about Forge too. 343 are dropping hints everywhere. https://waypointprod.blob.core.windows.net/blogfilestore/storage/blogs/headlines/2013/2/14/valentines_04.jpg
The second pic is sort of hard to see because the explosion and text blocks part of it. But the rocks look similar to the first pic which would suggest they are the same maps. But they look far away from each other and pic 2 doesn’t seem to be on the big island of pic 1. Meaning it’s a large map with several islands. (You know what that means.) This isn’t any map on Halo 4 or any DLC including Castle. 343 are deliberately starting rumours and making us get excited here. They’ve all but confirmed Forge World with the pics and the
2Great Anvil" thing. I have to say, I’d be very disappointed if they didn’t give us Forge World. I don’t mind if it’s a remake of Reach’s or an all new one, in fact I think I’m slightly more in favour of a fresh new one. But, no matter, we have big reason to be excited for PAX guys. I have set my expectations high.

Foundry and Sandbox. Yup they had them. Halo 3, and honestly the best forge map for me was Sandbox followed by Forge World.
