I've been searching around trying to see if there has been any feedback from the general matchmaking population about playing the Forge maps but I can't seem to find much info. I know in the past the community at large kind of hated on the Forge community maps. I saw moaning all the time on the message boards about how they felt Forge maps should never be in Matchmaking. Does anyone have the lowdown on what people are saying about Halo 5's lineup of Forge Matchmaking maps?
Yup. I'm just curious, now that the Forge maps being added to matchmaking are starting to look like real maps, how are they being received by players other than the Forge fans.
Seems like they are generally ok with it. https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/...ng/46f594d7-a6f5-48ba-a63f-0db1283dfd76/posts
That's one hell of an achievement. If you asked the same question with previous versions of Forge it would be 90% hate. I don't like what it says about dev maps that people almost seem to prefer the gameplay on the Forge maps. I do however appreciate that the Forge maps are finally getting the appreciation that they deserve. I find it bothersome that I enjoy the skyboxes and art more on the dev maps than the gameplay. Hopefully pressure from community maps ups the anti on the dev maps. With the potential addition of textures and objects to the Forge the future looks bright.
I think a lot of people will hate on more forge maps because of the Orion and Pegasus hangover they have. And the lack of 'real' btb maps maybe. I myself can't wait for community arena maps but I think that opinion is not spread widely throughout the community unfortunately.
Just like to pop in and say, speaking as a guy who hasn't forged maps since reach, that I love the work all of you are doing in h5. I've signed up here hoping to find a better way of communicating feedback to guys with maps in mm. Can't find any threads on waypoint. Only issue seems to be that not all the maps come from here. Anyone know where I can give general feedback on boulevard and antifreeze? (they're the two maps I have minor gripes with so far.) Have left reviews for the maps from here that are in btb. All of them glowing, basically, because all have been excellent. Fingers crossed 343 do an all community arena list like bungie did post sandbox on h3.
Over at Beyond you still have morons that cry "all forge maps are gray", even when faced with maps that are pretty vibrantly colored. Then there will always be the outrage of maps being implemented that aren't by professional level designers.... Which is ironic considering many of Halo's most beloved maps (Damnation and Sanctuary for example) were created by environmental artists with next to zero level design experience.
That's a pretty cool fact. Sanctury too? Man... Please tell me Chiron TL34 or whatever it's called also
