THANK THE LORD IN HEAVEN! I always wondered why they added those random gaps in the most commonly used pieces, such as Wall Coliseums. Also, new pieces? DUNDUNDUN! They better not be Structure pieces.
From the pics, as rough as they were, it looks like the blocks still have lines running through their skins. In other words, the blocks will not look good with each other and create visual noise like they do on Ravine already. Hopefully it won't be as bad, and the contrasts will be more subdued... That is my only real concern. I can't stand the blocks on Ravine for this reason alone, not to mention they clash with the forerunner theme that IS the entire backdrop ...
My fear lies in the borders. In the picture, the large bridge's pieces have dark segmentation on each side.
I feel like 343 has fond some way to **** this up. Like forging too close to the water causes framerate drop or something.
I don't know what people are saying about there not being a lot of people. There was. As I was in the audience I can attest to there being a lot of people in the room. That pic from twitter might have been before everyone sat down and it looks like it was taken way in the back of the room that seats many thousands of people. Also thus wasn't some giant halo press event, it was mainly yo show off their new dlc.
Well I am only passing on what I was told and shown. I mean if you look at the number of people in that pic and the 343i people up on stage, I would not want to be up there with them.
fan fkn tastic! was about to start a new map on ravine and now I cbf because I want to make it on the new forge map. fcuk fcuk fcuk
hahaha... wow, they actually do. I thought you were joking. I'm not all that surprised, because I haven't been impressed with grass on some maps like Ragnarock, and... also the tin cup's texture. I do like it on Ravine though.
Alright, people, this is another time for the Sketch Thread to rise in importance. As we all know, Forge Island is coming out on April 11th. The pallet is going to be beautiful, the miniature holes in pieces are going to be removed, the map is going to be as large as Forge World, and we only have twenty days before hundreds of thousands of people will attempt to integrate their ideas. Our job is to plan our moves wisely before we strike, effectively allowing some of us to make ForgeHub history before others can even formulate the layout! Imagine now! Invest in your illumination and FORGE!!
the three islands look like three pillars from forge world of varying diameter that have been hammered on the top. They look like lobotomized mushrooms. There are no shore lines with sandy or even rocky beaches. All the ground to forge on are up in the air and drop over a cliff.
Much better quality footage on IGN, not on youtube :/ Edit: Found it on youtube. Halo 4: Forge Island Map Gameplay - PAX East - YouTube
Hold on... THEY JUST reused ragnaroks floor texture :O Booooooo! Either way, i'm really looking forward to see what people will do with this. Perhaps maps with a circular layout? Battle Creek?
