i think 343 should try and add more to the natural palette in forge island, not just rocks but also trees, bushes, plants etc. i think one of the things forge has been missing since ridgeline is the ability to forge a forest map, it would be great for machinima especially in a dark setting. i also think they should add landmasses too such as cliffs and caverns.
People were asking for a large open space, 343 delivered.

you don’t understand, i meant forgeable trees. it would be cooler than having a barren space in the map with a few rocks here and there
if we can forge landmasses and more natural stuff we can still preserve that natural feel but make it symmetrical. it would be cool to make a cave map on forge island that is symmetrical, would make for great infection/ffa, sure halo reach had the arch but it wasn’t enough.
Agreed, Reach’s timberland had these.
Some forgeable hills and rock walls will also be very nice.
I’d like to see the Kinect utilized in Forge for Halo 5. Imagine creating rolling hills with your hands. Grab a spot and raise it up for a hill or push it down for a valley. Who knows if it’s possible or would work very well but could be very interesting if it is.

oh, OH! Yes! I agree totally. Take it a step further and have the ability to add weather and background animals, Moas, Grunts working, floating forerunner life workers, the possibilities are endless. The prospect of adding trees, bushes, a nice shubery, not to high or long, you know real nice.

I think that’s gonna have to wait until Halo 5…

i know, but one can dream.
It would be nice to have a race track that runs like a ski slope. All downhill with lots of jumps and trees.

well that would suck since i’m not getting xbox 720, this will be my last halo 
goes to farcry 3’s map editor
Is it just me or does anyone else get the impression that the Forge/Custom game crowd will never fully be satisfied?
Not knocking on your request here… I like trees and Timberland as much as the next dude… but seriously I wouldn’t want to the job at 343 of satisfying that community… no matter what you do it’s not good enough.

it’s a developers job to take feedback, why shouldn’t we help 343 make it better? obvious things they might miss, it’s not finished yet otherwise it would be out by now so there’s still time to add stuff.

Give them the full Halo 4 programming set and they will be happy.

Moas would be really cool imo xD

Cybernetically Enhanced Super Moas with saddles.
I agree that, if we’re being given a completely flat environment, it would be completely unnatural and out of place if they didn’t give us some form of natural pieces (and not just rocks) to work with.
Still, Forge Islands is a free DLC and, as every student knows, you don’t complain about something that’s free.

it would be epic add Moas and while a strafe battle with someone on a map, a lot of moas running get in the way of ur shots. like ‘’ -Yoink!- f*** birds -_- ‘’
A race track that runs right through the middle of a Moa Sanctuary would be fun.
Yes please. But if it’s also not too much to ask, I’d like to ask for hills as well. Not on the map itself, but as a forging tool like trees.
Actually I am willing to bet the map is indeed finished. The reason it is not out is because it has to be submitted to Microsoft for cert-testing which can take 1 to 2 weeks.
