343 and Certain Affinity, please give us some more forging environments in Halo 4 as DLC in the future.
I’m not asking disrespectfully, I’m just asking please check this thread out. I’m a very big forger, and I know many other people who are turning into forgers, but it’s getting hard for lots of us to forge with some of the limitations you set on the maps in Halo 4. The maps are alright, but <mark>its hard to work with the weird forerunner ditch thing on ravine, and the big building that’s hard to work with on impact.</mark> Erosion is very asymmetrical, except in the big grifball room. Even then, the forge pieces don’t match the looks of the nice clean interior.
As a forger, I, and others would very much LOVE to see new forge environments such as:
A large snowy environment, possibly Avalanche remake from Halo 3.
A Paradiso like island to work with
A Blood Gulch/Coagulation/Hemorrhage like canyon to work with
A large map like forge world, or even forge world itself
A large flat grass map
A forgable Sandtrap like map from Halo 3, without the pre-placed buildings.
More forging maps with more open skys
Forge maps with themes other then the UNSC forge pieces. Ex. Covenant, Forerunner.
Allowing upcoming DLC maps, or possibly all the maps in Halo 4 to have access to forge structures.
In this thread, another idea for forging came up.
-Trees
-Include some new forging environments in the upcoming DLC packs
I now this might be much to ask 343, but releasing new forge maps in a DLC would be AMAZING and improve custom games so much more. No other halo game has ever released an all forge DLC. I’m sure there are thousands of other Halo 4 goers that would like it very much.
If you guys, the Halo community love this idea, please express it in the comments, and be sure to vote in the poll above. Every comment bumps this thread and keeps it alive, allowing more people to see it every day
Keep this thread going guys, 343 will at least check it out and take it into consideration. I would really appreciate support for this idea. If you’s have any ideas for forge maps, drop it in the comments also so I can add them to the list of things we as a community would like to see as a forging environment. Please be respectful when commenting, thanks!
If you are a good forger, you will make good maps with the 3 terrain options you have. Frankly, if you think white instead of bright white walls is worth wasting development time and money on you are, as they, say, perhaps a bit naive?

I’m not trying to toot my own horn, but I think I’m a decent forger. The thing is its hard to forge sometimes when there’s a large ditch sitting in the middle of a C shaped field. I could forge somewhere else but then it’s hard to make flooring because you have to consider how much flooring you’re using… And when the dynamic lighting is going to break… It would be nice to have more area to forge on. You obviously don’t forge often.

See, this is what I’m talking about, that sounds even cooler then what I was thinking. That would be pretty cool if it was sand trap with a snowy terrain instead of sand.

I think that would be very cool, but would probably not happen… Maybe halo 5!

One of the problems on Ravine, is that the in the big forerunner structure, the human pieces look really weird and not that good in that area… I made my first map on that area, but it’s supposed to be a science research camp. Still, it’s really hard to make a map on that area, and that’s a good 45% of the map too…
All forerunner pieces would actually be nice, as much as i hate saying that from reach lol
