Probably a topic on this already, can’t find one so i started up my own!
Personally, i want a map with a Large lava Lake based around large forunner style structure, sort of what we saw in the Spartan Ops footage, then a large open Desert Map, big enough for the new mammoths, a re-imagining of sandtrap with a bit more of a design to it. As for other environments i REALLY hope they do a DLC with new forge maps, three are not enough to satisfy me! Although the ravine map does look really interesting.
If only we had a space map, just a large open map based in space, you could change the gravity in certain areas at will with the new trait zones, we could all recreate Boarding Action, and other great maps!

From what we’ve seen, they’re all white, good thing is the dynamic lighting blends it in with the environment so no matter what we aren’t getting a repeat of grey Reach.
I’d like 1) a snowy volcano, with fire on one end (a lava lake or something) contrasted against ice on the other. Makes for some awesome machinima. 2) Tropical desert, with dunes and an oasis in the center, so we can have a desert and jungle Forge map at the same time.
I hope they release more Forge maps DLC after release, and that they are all as big as the others. That’s one way to keep the Forge community alive.
I would like to see an asteroid type map. One that is built like Sandbox. So we can go to the inside of the asteroid for an arena, fight on top of the asteroid, and also have sweet space maps above. Plus, there are a lot of things you can do with the skybox.
The only thing that might ruin it is the whole zero gravity thing. But I guess we could put a player trait zone around the entire map and have normal gravity.
For the sake of replay value and customisation to eliminate repetitiveness, I think it would be best for a standard forge map, just like the one we’ve seen, a desert map and a snowy map. All with objects to suit the environment.
I voted for snowy but i actually want a few. I chose snow primaraly though because i have fond memories of sidewinder. (it was my very first MP game match when halo came out too) and i feel like im one of the few people that actually enjoyed snowbound in halo 3.
Id like to see another skybox as well and one thats underwater that we can actually see out into the ocean.
I like space stations (OMG orbital) but all the ones weve had so far are very limited forge wise.
Give me a simple city layout with destroyed buildings (add building pieces as doors to fix them) and rubble objects for decoration or blocking parts of the map. Give me the ability to add streets or metro rails and mix some non-urban elements in to make maps like Turf and Terminal. All the new lighting system would look amazing in an urban environment.
