A few weeks ago I had seen a few maps on 4chub that had used Dev maps as their template. The one that really got me was Gogeta's beach; he blended the Forge pieces with the Map so well, I couldn't tell for a second that it was even Forged. That got me to thinking, what Dev maps could I improve using Forge? First thought? Coliseum. The pathing throughout the map seemed atrocious to me. While working through it, I noticed how easy building the Forerunner geometry was. I was better at Forerunner geometry than I thought I was. I realized that it wasn't me who was better at Forerunner architecture, it was the fact that I had a template to work with that made building Forerunner structures easier. I had improved my self by simply building and continuing one of the Dev maps. Unfortunately, I didn't save the map and my Game crashed . Just thought I'd share this.
I had a brief look at Riptide recently, hoping it was heavily forgeable, but it's not. I'm more a fan of forging than a forger myself, but if any of you could fix that map so it's not so awful and get it noticed by 343 you will have my eternal gratitude.
If we could remove parts of the map (walls) to open it up more, then it might be possible. I think it's a lost cause.
lols, Yep. That's my fear, it's kinda u shaped and the walls that create the middle of the U are all encompassing. Plus those damn lips on the platforms in the middle bit. Facepalm.
