I’ve been seeing a lot of hate for the forge maps we keep getting and was wondering. Which would you rather have? The best forge of all time and a lot of map made from forge. Or. A lot of maps made from scratch by 343. To be honest I would rather have the forge because there is infinite possibilities with it.

Yeah, id have to agree with you
I’m sorry this post is stupid, why should this even be an option we should get both! Previous Halos had better maps made from scratch trying to say forge is the best option to replace those is bad since this forge shouldn’t be based on making future maps unless it looks like developed maps. That’s unlikely so… there’s that I would want forge to be improved from the last game and included within the game not an either or situation. The reality is other games have started doing forge or map editor that is better than Halos forge. Halo is old and slow these new IPS will come up with better ideas.
See… the reality is not “A lot of forge maps” or “A lot of 343 non-forge maps.” It’s “A bajillion forge maps” or “a minimal amount of 343 non-forge maps.”
Now, it seems to me that once Forge development is done and delivered in December, there will be time to make a few non-forge maps, so I don’t see why we can’t have a mix of both options. BUT, given the two extremes, I think I would pick ‘The Best Forge Ever’ as long as it’s coupled with a good filesharing system so community maps/gametypes can be easily passed around. If they were to actually put something on the website with a rating system for each type of map (Arena, Breakout, BTB, Slayer, CTF… something like that) and you could download them straight to your xbox, it would be amaaaaazing.

Don’t dog on an honest question.
I agree with you though, we should have both. But…in the spirit of playing fair, I would rather have an amazing forge where the community can make awesome maps.

Nothing wrong with a this or that question. I prefer the better forge and community made maps.
Its quite possible to get both. The only difference is that if they make the maps ground up, the maps have the potential to be alot better. Forge should be made for the community to make their own maps and 343 should build new maps ground up because the level of quality of a forge map is still limited.
My point was yea have an excellent forge but not to forget the actual maps. Forge maps aren’t as impressive as actual maps unless there’s a forge that can edit maps that look like developed maps that shouldn’t even be an option to forcibly consider, this game is limited as is.
Basically like the post above. I’m not saying no or saying yes because there should be more options.
I am really excited for Forge. The community is really great at developing maps so I think there will be lots of great content coming out. In terms of Longevity of the game a strong Forge/Custom Games options are very important and I think 343 is doing a good job investing so much time into forge.
There has been no declaration that non-forge maps won’t drop throughout the year. I think that they said somewhere that the free map DLC will not be forge maps but I don’t have a link or reference to back that up.
