I'd like to see a forge related DLC but i'm gonna be pissed off if bungie wants us to pay for a map pack seen as the lazy people wouldn't give us proper maps bundled with the game. So much for reach being "bungie's swan song" when they can't even be bothered making multiplayer maps and just heft chunks out of the campaign for us to play on. So as long as the next DLC map pack is free, its all good. Cold Storage anyone?
Cold storage was a single map, and I believe it was a special event marking the 7 year aniversarhy of halo, so its not gonna happen again
1. Who cares if it's a more ODST style DLC pack? 2. New Alexandria would be a perfect backdrop for a civilian style forge map. I want this mainly because of the forklift and civilian trucks.
Since when was ODST DLC? Do you not remember it coming on a disk and paying full game price for it or something? My point was that all precedent for Halo DLC is maps and just maps, not expansions which change the game experience like he was saying. Asking for some kind of interactive AI which work in a malleable and unprecedented way just off the cuff is completely unrealistic, as is expecting new weapons and vehicles just for the sake of a civvy theme. Not gonna disagree with 2 though, it'd be hard to pull off whilst balancing a decent aesthetic with something that still maintains a smooth, seamless look when various combinations of pieces are put together, but I think it could definitely be done and would be a really nice canvas to work from.
No, no Im pretty sure they took specific spaces from the campaign and then turned them into working multiplayer maps.
Think about it this way, they are smart people who realize that multiplayer is the main selling point of their game. They know that the maps in multiplayer have to be good. Some smart cookie says, why don't we integrate the maps into campaign? It saves on time, familiarizes players with the area in question and looks snazzy. They would not create the campaign areas first as that compromises the value of the multiplayer experience.
it doesnt matter what makes sense to you, its a fact that they took the maps from campaign. and honestly guys, i dont get why you all think our forgeworld is enough. its so easily improvable, i almost feel like they made it so they could very easily make a FW dlc greatly improved and everyone would buy it.
Im hoping for an improved foundry, everything looks so sweet in that map. Just bigger area to work with more money and more walls e.t.c
It is not a fact. Most of the maps are remakes, so they wouldn't just HAPPEN to be in the campaign. No they made the maps first and then made the campaign around it. And I think they should remake containment from halo 2. It was the best DLC imo. And it was supa huge so they could make structures that can be forged. @Oxide: they already have metal walls that look cooler imo
It makes sense, and there are also the multiple Bungie statements to the effect of what I said. My 'proof' as it were, was simply an exercise in inductive reasoning to make sense of it to other people. And this:
I find Forgeworld.... Not big enough. I know Bungie put alot of effort into it. But calling it FORGEWORLD means that you should be able to forge a world. Not 3 Areas. (Blood Glutch, Patch, Island) I don't think I should count the pinnacle part of the map. Neither the Interior. I would say, go big or go home... and cry. Bungie focus on environment based map. I loved Longshore. Best map of any map pack. Sandtrap making a return would be awesome too. Remaking maps on Forgeworld seems unrealistic to the original. For Example. Snowbound (Snow) Forgeworld (No Snow). I would say, build a option to put Snow, Ice, Sand (Quick Sand?), Fog and Dusty effects into the mix. Call it Forge 2.1. An Update if you will. Another map would be great but on the budget, I don't even think thats possible.
As far as DLC goes, a new themed Forgeworld would be great, along with an Invasion map. As for this bickering about Forgeworlds size, I don't see why people are complaining. Bungie has given us a HUGE canvas to work with, offering many different areas to fit different style maps. Don't be greedy, they could have just given us another Sandbox or Foundry.
I'm hoping for a forgeworld map that's surrounded in the city. A really neat change of scenery would be cool, not saying I don't like Forgeworld, what we have is amazing and fantastic. Just wanting a change of scenery and a change of pace. Other than that, I'd like to see new maps more than remakes because they can just hash them out in Forgeworld instead of as a new map that costs money.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see club errera pop up as a DLC FF map since it is a remake of Crater and all. Also stop complaining about FWs size. It's massive. It's incredibly versatile. Enough said. Sure bungie will probably come out with another forge themed map like they did in the last halo. I agree with some of the speculation that they held back some of what FW could have been capable to further amaze us in the future but that's okay in my opinion. Also as far as what someone said about campaign being built around MP maps, just look at how Reflection was implemented and you know that's true. My guess is that they'll manipulate other campaign environments into playable multiplayer maps and take holdout parts of the campaign that felt like they should have been FF maps i.e. Club errera and Lone Wolf and make those "new" DLC. I am looking forward to all those things. Plus new ranks and armor (hopefully commendations too) in future updates as well.
Why do people continue to complain about forgeworld's size? I mean if you used the whole thing, then your map is too huge and it will take 5 minutes just to get like 2 kills.
