How do you guys feel about Tidal? I don’t think it is going to be good. Probably too small and restricted, like the other maps, in Forge. It isn’t that they are bad, but they just aren’t as good as Sand Box, Forge World, even Foundry I’ve managed to do more with than these new maps.
Regardless, I am glad to have one more addition to the selection.
Gonna for sure make boats in the probably-larger-than-alpine’s water area.
How about we don’t make any prior judgments and just wait and see if it’s any good? Either way, looks a nice canvas and it’s free.
Um foundry wasn’t very big at all, it was easily smaller then the new canvases, sandbox is pretty big if you add up all 3 areas but they weren’t too large individually.

Given that people have managed to remake every standard map form Halo CE - Reach (as well as most of H4s) on these canvases, a feat that would have been impossible even on forge world I’m gonna say this is mostly you and not the game.
Hmmm… I’ll give it a try and if I like it, then I will use it
I think I will like this more than Awash. That previous map had poor lighting at the start of matches.

Impossible on Forge World?
That’s just wrong, but ok.
I’ve seen remakes of classic Halo 2/CE maps on Sandbox in the sky area.
These maps are just too restricting. Sure, you can use the sky and ground pieces, but this means you waste budget and have to get closer to the death boundary. Like, if you wanted to build over land on (Alpine? Ravine? Whatever it’s called) you have to put yourself too close to the sky for aerial combat to be available.

Looks can be deceiving. I also wouldn’t call it free, because you paid $60 for an unfinished game. It will be finished in a few days upon release, but not right now.

Tom French on twitter said that Tidal was wider than Parallax but slightly shorter.

I’m really hoping this isn’t their replacement for Forge World.
Didn’t he also say they were working on Reach style FW?
Looks useful
I’m excited for it. People are going to come up with some awesome Beach maps.

It was planned but other stuff got in the way. It would take them 4-5 months without any updates to port it over.
i need this canvas. the terrain textures are definitely gonna be great for my dark souls 1, firelink shrine, forge map for the forge labs July challenge

Um, it is free. 343i told you exactly what was in the game a week before release. If you didn’t know that, then you are an uninformed consumer and don’t qualify for an opinion on this topic. You should have waited to buy the game until now when it is “finished”. Who in their right mind looks at a game and everything that is going to come with it and says, “looks fun but their isn’t $60 worth of stuff in it. Oh well, I trust a corporation who’s only goal is to make money will release enough $0 stuff eventually to make it worth it”.
