CONFIRMED NEWS FROM PAX EAST TODAY OF A BRAND NEW, FREE FORGE MAP COMING APRIL 11th!!
FORGE ISLAND
I honestly don't see why anyone is complaining. This is exactly what everyone's been asking for and its free. Could it be better? Sure. Will it still help everyone make some amazing new maps? Definitely.
Well, we got big, but it sure isn't aesthetically pleasing at all as Reach's was. What did it take them 5 minutes to make? "Let's place 3 big mushrooms into the water and call it Forge Island!" This is more of a do-it- ALL -yourself version.
Five avid forgers? Flying shoe drew up a draft and it was far better. I could do far better. You don't need five. You need one decent artistically talented individual... I think 343i has such talent, but apparently didn't assign said talent to the task...I just get the feeling that a group of at least five avid forgers could design it all better I mean, why don't we have a decent "floor" piece yet? Grass mound? I'd love to see some of those.
i have been waiting a really long time for a map that is grassy AND flatWhile I'm extremely happy we have another Forge Environment, the total flatness worries me a bit. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying the map could have been designed with a little more versatility. If they give us a bunch of different rocks to build our own terrain I think it'd be fine, assuming of course they actually add a few NEW rocks.
Good point. With as many as five forgers, they'd all be too belligerent to work together.Five avid forgers? Flying shoe drew up a draft and it was far better. I could do far better.

well you got the flat part... a lot of it...i have been waiting a really long time for a map that is grassy AND flat
ther was a d-day map on reachI watched the video. 2 diffrent things I noticed were that they said we have acsess to all the forge pieces and the new ones. Also they said this one is on us.im pretty sure that is a hint that there may be more forge maps in the future as a payed dlc. Will we be able to go to the water. I can see a d-day map in the near future
although i can agree with some of the minor complaints being voiced here, they are quite minor.
some of you sound as though you expected 343 to read YOUR mind specifically, in regards to what ALL forgers want.
lets have some perspective here and be thankful that they gave us anything close to what we cried for at all.

Yeah, I mean all in all, we aren't entitled anything really. They could give us the trolololo song on repeat and title it Halo 5 if they wanted to. Ultimately, it's up to us to buy it or not. The only thing about that though, which I'm sure you're already aware of, is that we give so much back to the game. We consistently buy this game, continue to play it online long after it's prime, and only add to it's well known popularity. Sure you could argue we aren't entitled a dam thing in life, but for this game, we helped create it as a community as well. I mean I'm completely with you, but we at least deserve the dedication we give to this awesome series. Which is something, I very much hope 343 understands.I agree. They responded to some of the biggest complaints in a relatively quick manner, for free. I knew after watching the video they'd get shit for this too even if it was 100% meant to be a sign of good faith that they are aware of the issues and that the Forge community has felt totally ignored and underrepresented since launch. And while I've been disappointed in Forge compared to past incarnations, the amount of crap they've gotten and how it's been expressed (that waypoint thread started by Time Glitch in particular) has communicated little more than entitlement to the point that I'd understand them avoiding Forge altogether. It's just an olive branch guys, take it.
Here is the check list...
It's flat.
It's got grass.
It has islands
It has water
It is large - "like" forge world
Here is what most of us meant...
The islands would have had beaches.
The grass would have been plush to make a deep green color floor, at least in some flat areas...
Not all the terrain would be flat as a pancake, there would have been some mountains or hills.
There would have been some trees... somewhere...
You could walk down a sandy slope to the water's edge
There would have probably been a sand bar or two to connect the islands...
It seems that 343i should have the necessary talent to know the difference here...
Well, there's is a difference from what you say and what you infer. Everyone said that they wanted a large flat forge canvas with water, and very few actually went any deeper than that.Here is the check list...
