    I am thinking of making a racetrack on assembly for my second racetrack map pack (I am currently doing the first)

    good luck with forging everyone

    P.S. Look behind you

    I'm curious as to why I haven't got the Brainpan achievement yet, but I've still got all three skulls. That would suggest the other three are also on the mythic map pack. I can't remember where I read it, but apparently with the Halo Wars LCE was "A Mythic Map Pack Preview". The plot thickens...

    the last three halo 3 maps, Citadel, Longshore, and Heretic, are also part of the Mythic Map Pack

    Yes, longshore, heretic, and citadel are also mythic maps. you will need those skulls as well. they will be released with ODST. this has been known for a while.

    EDIT: awww beat me to it

    Assembly is what we have been needing, a perrrfect Arena map that is great for BR's. Hopefully MLG will put Assembly in their map list.

    Assembly == awesome slayer map. Forge lacks some things, but not enough to create a problem.
    9/10

    Orbital looks like pure crap to me compared to Sandbox/Assembly, bungie really overdid all the passages in that map.
    Slayer and 2 sided objectives have obvious imbalances depending on your location, though I hope that some forgers can make a better layout than the default one. (Yes I know the map is for 1 sided objectives, yet all I've been getting on the mythic playlist is Slayer and 2 Sided objectives.).

    I'm intrigued by Assembly. It's an excellent 1v1 and 2v2 map, but it's too small for 4v4 IMO. I did find the map's skull all by myself! I feel so special!

    How long do you have to wait on the map before a scarab gets built above your head?

    Assembly needs more itemes to place on it. But the tube shield thingies are pretty neat.

    Yes i do like orbital better for forging. I haven't really made any maps on it, but assembly is kind of awkward to forge. You can't really do much without making it look odd rather than change weapons.

    I think sandbox kind of makes those two maps look dull for forgers, mainly because their isn't much too do, the only major change is that you can add a gravity lift too the lower level on Orbital, making it possible too jump from the lower too upper level.

    typical noobie atitude :mad:. sandbox seems great, but it is so standard. like how foundry has been the boring norm forge map ever since it came out until now. once i get the maps and get my xbox back (probably not for amonth :cry:) i am willing to bet i could easily make abetter map on orbital than you could on sandbox.

    Hey, people have different tastes.

    I mean, a forge guru will absolutely LOVE Sandbox, a competitive player will love Assembly, and a Objective lover will love Orbital. Bungie has done a sensational job on these maps.

    Please, try to run your posts through a spell check next time....

    And people are looking at Sandbox most here because, well, look at the site name: "Forge Hub. Does that appeal to you?

    IMO i guess it would depend on your tastes. Assembly is good for 1v1, orbital is good for medium-large objective and slayer, sandbox is good for the biggest games, and vehicular combat.
