Welcome to the Islands

okay, this is my idea, we all want a snow forge map, a desert forge map and a foresty true grass forge map, so i thought why dont they release a forge map called Island map pack, you get forge island but three versions, snow, sand and a proper grass one cos you cant call the one we have as true grass its like sand and grass which is horrible but i do really like forge island, jw would anyone buy this, odviously get rid of the green screen cos we only need one map with that and make the pieces have more effects to the map, so snow on the pieces for snow map etc, and to replace the green screen they could either put more natural pieces or the hornet, thoughts?
oh and id be happy for them to charge for this so like 400 -Yoink!- points?

Or maybe it could be something different than more islands because they literally just released Forge Island.

well the reason i say forge islands os cos all they need to do is replace the texture, would save ALOt of time and it already has the pieces, add some more texture onto them etc etc etc the only thing that would take time would be to add more texture and remove the green screen and replace it with the hornet if they didnt add more amount of natural instead of 50, thats the only reason and everyone seems relatively happy with forge, i just wish we had a snow forge map and sand etc, means we could make more enviromental maps

They should never charge us for Forge Maps like Forge Island, because so very few people would buy them, therefore you’d never get to see them implemented in Matchmaking.

But I agree with Michael Knight, I’d rather see a new Forge Map come out rather than just a reskinned version of Forge Island.

that is true… in that case and cos you guys dont want to be charged for it id say no grass one then cos the original is grass/ sand but i still think a desert and snow forge map, like the snow one with like ice bergs etc and sand a bit like sandtrap maybe with sandtrap in the section like the canyon in Forge world, thoughts?

I do think it’s a very good idea to bring out a map pack with a sand, forest, and snow map, that would greatly improve forge for everyone, it would also be good if they brought out DLC vehicles such as a falcon/hornet, seen as though they haven’t given us a UNSC vehicle, I know there is the mantis in place of them, but it doesn’t compare to a flying UNSC vehicle, it would also be good for machinima makers too ;]

the problem is tha they cant do a vehicle pack because the maps are already set in, theyve made the game in a differant way to like cod and battlefield so they cant add weapons, vehicles etc to current maps but on a DLC map they can as it would be in the pallet :slight_smile: so future DLC hopefully and it would help in machinmas like you said and forgers and player would just feel so much happier but odviously theyd have to get the model and mechanics etc of it which could take a while but seeming theres hornets in skyline i dont see why they cant, they just need to add more closer detail, mechanics and animation tbh

I think just a snow map would be all good, we don’t need a forest because we can place trees, and a desert… Eh.

well no when i say forest i mean like a pure grass, bit like what valhallas like on H3 so none of this grass and sand, and desert because other might want it, need to cater to all, im not a desert person but they need to be there, the only sand/desert maps i like are Sandtrap and sandbox from what i can remember but others will want it cos other people prefer sand :slight_smile: thas the only reason

If forge was anything like the earlier SIM CITY environment development engines then forge would be a killer part of halo. You had the power to elevate terrains and lower them as well as put water on the maps. If all these features was in Halo forge then this might have actually kept this game nose above water. Any map or island would be able to have (Snow, Ice, Fire, Sand, Wind, Rain, Day light or night.)

Any future maps will have to be free if 343i wants them to show up in playlists. Community numbers are low & map pack owners are even lower.

They should have all been in the first place knowing how much they screwed up halo4. This alone should be smart incentive to bring players back to halo4. Its a no brainer!

i do agree that the forge maps definatly should be free, future maps need to be paid for, cos otherwise they just wont bother making H5 and H6 but then again theyll just loose more people otherwise :confused: but on another night before this thread gets carried away and go all negative, what sort of terrain do you guys want for a forge map?

the main one i want is a snow one, avalanche remake, and that lot and i got so many other ideas for it!!
