If so that’s not what I expected at all when they said they would be updating the game with free maps.
Don’t quote me but I thought for sure they said somewhere all BTB maps would be forge for sure. Hopefully warzone will be officially created maps from 343. Would like to see official BTB maps also but I don’t think it is happening.
Well in The Sprint they showed off a future remix of Rig that’s not a forge map, so I’d say forge maps aren’t going to be the only source. It’ll probably always be forge stuff for breakout maps just given how they’re constructed, but I’d be surprised if they only ever added forge maps for everything else in arena. Plus I don’t even think Forge supports warzone maps because of the complexity of the AI spawns, so when they add more warzone maps (which 343 said is happening) it would be highly unusual if they were forge maps.
The warzone will not be forged but in true 344 fashion they said 6 warzone maps which means 3 warzone maps and 3 of the same maps cut in half for warzone assault
trust me, the only maps 343 will spend time making will be warzone maps, as warzone equals req pack money.

Awesome! I love the rig! Which episode of the sprint does it show that?
I really want to know if these do count or not. They’ve never clarified on that.
I think they are doing both. making new custom maps as well as some forge. I expect most remakes to be forge maps while new maps will be custom non generic
if so, they should let us know now so we can temper our expectations accordingly, otherwise there is going to be severe rage at 343.
If they are, then 343i really is killing halo.

I think partway through season 2? They have a concept artist showing how he made it around the idea of it being a refinery instead of a drilling platform, and that it’s supposed to have a molten metal/lava flow going through it rather than a bottomless pit like on the Rig.
all of the 18 + maps they’re making are TRUE maps, and there may be fan input for what will come. The Reason they made the BTB maps in forge are for a couple of reasons, test the strength of forge, hype the hell out of forge, they didn’t have time to make a crud ton of BTB maps only 2-3 weeks after launch. Making a map in Halo isn’t just all the geometry and then paint. It’s a long process, and Forge maps can get good maps out and fast for us inpatient players. I mean, would you be mad if they held Big Team till December or January just so you could have 1-3 actual maps? Or would play on expertly crafted forge maps that you can get in just 2 weeks after the game launched, it’s either now or later. And really, they do look good.

You realize they had 3 years to make this game, correct?
I thought I saw them working on concepts for new maps in the more recent sprint video. There was a guy designing a lava based one that may end up being the remix of the Rig for arena.

Just feels like BTB was an after thought. They focused all of their attention on Warzone. I understand that while a lot of people like Warzone, it’s definitely not for me. Too much going on, and there really is no focus. Even if you do attempt to kill bosses and you get 99% of the damage in, it seems like the other team always comes along and takes credit for the kill with the final 1% of damage.
BTB would be so much better with real maps, IMO. I would have rather they had real maps for BTB on launch, with BTB being available at launch. I would have thought they had plenty of time to get this game right.
I’m I the only one actually enjoying these maps?
And why are people always complaining about either graphics or gameplay. Gameplay I can understand if Aiming doesn’t feel right, you have a right to complain but seriously we all knew these maps were gonna be forged and now people are raging about the fact that they are Forged… It’s like saying you’re gonna give 10$ than give him 10$ and he would complain because he wanted 20$…
Good question. And I have yet to see 343 even remotely attempt to address other issues like missing gametypes like infection, so you probably won’t hear an official response any time soon if at all.
If forge maps and remixes are all they are offering us for free, id rather they just keep them and release us some proper quality maps as paid DLC.
According to the sprint
they are building maps for BTB in forge.
I can deal with a few Forge maps here and there but if all of them are Forge then we have a problem.
