First of the maps are too small. How are we supposed to create racing maps, BTB maps, or puzzle maps with these small maps? It is as if 343 expected us only to create small competitive maps. No mini games.
Secondly, even though they are small, they are designed horribly for forge except for Impact. These just seem like normal maps without certain set pieces. The underground map looks like there is such little room to execute your own ideas. They should’ve at least given us a solid flat ground to work with. Many people from forgehub are already complaining that these maps wont let them execute certain ideas.
Lastly, it seems as if they just took Reach objects and put them into Halo 4. How hard is it to change a color of a set piece? Answer: not hard at all.
Fortunately, this is the first major thing I am disapointed with in Halo 4. This and no mammoth multiplayer.
Please 343 just release a free DlC of a flat big map for Forge.
Erosion is built purposefully with lots of terrain to provide an accessible environment for new forgers. All of the maps, however, seem to be built with lots of air space that should accommodate your needs for more open space.
Put the race lanes in the air, just like before. There is a huge area over the water in ravine, a giant lake in erosion, and empty space in impact.
You seriously lack imagination and vision.

You seriously lack imagination. In H3 People did racing maps in foundry. Don’t see why you can’t in this maps that are size comparable to sandtrap.
People made it just fine in Halo 3 with limited spaces for crazy puzzle maps, and there’s tons of area to create a great race map. Yeah, we won’t have anything to utilize the full size of Forge World again, but those maps were so far and few between that it wasn’t a major focus to include a map that large again. Give it a few weeks before you get disappointed, I think we’ll be surprised in what people make.

I dont lack imagination. If anything I can see how the race maps are limited. In foundry the race maps required a lot of turns and less jumps. I am not sayin this is bad but it just limits what you can do.
I am not sure why I am being attacked for expressing a pretty reasonable opinion. I guess Halo 4 is the next coming.

I know! Those were some of the greatest races in forge ever.

The maps seem pretty big. Impact has the two pretty decent sized asteroids plus the space around them. Ravine has the two sides plus the ravine itself and the space on the sides. Erosion has the grifball court, the rocky area, then the space above the water and under the rocky area. To me this seems pretty big. Or atleast big enough to make an awesome racetrack.

They were limited but still pretty great.
If you can’t see the massive skybox being used at RTX then you’re really don’t have imagination, a flat, boring area with no scenery isn’t the answer.
I cant say that i hate these maps but i do like that forge world had a fair amount of actual GROUND unlike the new grassland map. because most of it is out in the ocean. so i think that they should make a DLC forge map. with no pre-made sturctures or anything. have some caves, beach, cliffs, and flat grassland, or maybe even a partial forest. a really clean map like forge world. but much better because forge world did have some dissapointing flaws. i am not again 343 about anything but they really should try this dlc idea. we need more people to vote on this! thnx

Because your complain on something stupid, each map is at least half the size of the original forge world, you also have THREE different environments with each forge piece designed for that style, Ravine (Foreunner/UNSC) Erosion (Rusted/UNSC) Impact (Space/Unsc) , meaning all pieces look like the map style instead of reaches default gray forerunner. Plus the budget is the same ammount as forgeworld. Come on guys be happy they let us have all this good stuff, 3 forge worlds with custom pallets for each piece, still huge budget, dynamic lighting, magnets, etc.

Yea, I agree that sky box could be big for ravine, but I still really couldn’t tell.
we do this alot
