The textures... or lack there of...

So I love that 343i is toting how almost all the multiplayer levels were made in forge but seriously I still don’t understand how we went
from this
to this…
and finally…this…

is this a joke 343?

This is apparently there idea of budgeting. They said the DLC would be free for Halo never said how good of quality they would be

It’s all done in Forge… So the pieces and the touches are going to have less textures. If they wanted to really build a map it’d have that extra polish. But the new BTB maps have been stated were all created in Forge. I feel like reiterating this,still won’t get across to everyone

Why are you comparing studio maps with forge maps?

so much fail in this post. these are 1. not apart of the free DLC 2. THESE ARE FORGED MAPS.

No you can blame the community for this, for they wanted a blandless pallet of items because of the glitching issue they had whenever they would fuse two together in Halo Reach, which could have been easily fixed and I have done it several times. The budget shouldn’t have been the excuse because its the Xbox One not the 360.

I feel like I should iterate that’s all fine and dandy but they could have polished all of this up at the development side after the forgers were done with them. Tell me something does anyone really give a rat’s -Yoink!- if it was developed using an engine we could all use? I would say a good 90% don’t care. I want a map that feels as cool to play on as the gameplay that matches it.
Kodos to the designer for getting the sizing right but it’s still missing it’s flare. The stand off remake is a joke though. Has none of the great appeal that the original had with the very tight quarters inside the base.
You can tout all you want these were made in forge and i (along with the large population) will tell you I don’t care. Just give me a real map.

maybe the textures aren’t great but it’s a hell of a lot better than halo 4 and Halo Reach Forge. Halo Reach forge was just grey/grassy maps. I think you’re getting a little snobbish over trivial things

You’re right. given how poor microsoft is they couldn’t possibly afford to give us a … wait …

Then they wouldn’t be forge maps, they’d be studio maps. And people will expect textures that aren’t in forge.

Do you follow?

At least Forge didn’t look to be made out of plastic.

Doesn’t even look like Halo.

fine, you make your own game then talk about what is affordable and why you can do

The already did that. There are already elements in each level that can’t be created in forge. They said this when they described the custom aspects they added to each level.

I love how people keep saying it’s just forge, when in reality, it’s also in the studio made maps and scenery…
Like this.
There are literally no textures. Just a poor attempt at making the floor look rusty on the bottom. Which just looks like spilled dirt. (Which, if it is, then cool.)
Everything just looks bland and “plastic.” Especially for mining rig. Lol.

The thing I notice most about that last image is the low resolution… That’s the worst thing about Halo 5’s visuals all around IMO. Forget better textures. There’s no point in better textures if the entire image is rendered at a low resolution.

But remember guys…who needs graphics when you have 60 (sixty) FPS!

X.X

I think it looks pretty good to be honest. Obviously the 60 FPS is nice and though some maps do look plastic I think theyre meant to look that way and they look pretty sharp so im not gunna complain

Well there all made with forge so… Just hope not all the new maps are forged also i don’t think they look bad just not “WOW Amazing” I think the new maps look good just not great.

But for me I am
Gameplay>pretty graphics any day
and the gameplay is AWESOME!!!

i think its more of a problem that more and more maps are being done in forge. its great yes but leave it to the community to make maps and have a fun weekend where you introduce player created content. other than that i want a super -Yoink!- immersive environment in which to spill the blood of my foes in glorious rendered 60fps…
