    So I have been working on a map of Forge World which I have created to be as accurate as possible. Some parts of the map are definately not accurately to scale, but it still gives a fairly good representation of the layout and approximate sizing of forgeworld.
    Its a pretty large image. I created it using MS Paint for easy editing and updating (this is about the fourth version or so. The earliest versions were pretty hilariously mis-shaped :squirrel_nono:) Anyway, the map is below. Hope you enjoy it, and that it is at least a little bit helpful or interesting.

    Hopefully most of it is accurate. I question my layout of the big cave, and some of the level layouts aren't right (mainly there for fun anyway)...

    There's a thread on this already, But good drawing almost perfect you missed a few smaller areas around the canyon.

    Here's a actual full picture.

    I saw a thread on one persons impression of the map as a hand sketched picture. I figured this is my impression of the map, and deserves its own thread.
    As well as the fact that my image is more clean cut and accurate than the pencil sketch i saw.
    I updated it once again, including some smaller corners of the map including areas around the canyon. Before I figured they were part of the unplayable zone, but that image you provided seems to suggest they are closer to the map than to the unplayable zone, height wise.
    And considering that this map is so damn huge already, I dont see how it could possibly be even bigger than this.

    Thanks for the map. I am currently working on an idea using the island on Forge World. Here is a map I made that is fairly accurate.

    one thing that i've been wondering is; will we be able to get invisable barriers as a forge item? because, with the development of the Jetpack, there isn't much stopping a random player leaving the area that you've forged in and running off to the other side of the map... with the ball. if we could get invisable barriers to put up around our creations then that would make things a lot easier.
    does anyone know anymore?

    Your island doesn't look quite round enough. While my map makes the island look too round, I think yours needs to be rounder to be more accurate.
    I have been looking at depth, by using different shades to represent heights, but I think it's pretty self explanatory, especially if you have seen the vidoc or any other videos or images.

    In forge it is possible to place zones which kill a player if they enter them. It is also possible to place zones which start a countdown from 10 when a player leaves the zone. After the countdown reaches zero the player is killed.

    I want to forge on mount forge so bad. I have a strong feeling that it's not going to be an available area but I can dream.

    Unless bungie has been playing games with us, I doubt mout forge will be forgable. Pity. It would be great for some uphill gametypes.

    ye a Fore world poster would be pretty awesome. i'd be really good to photocopy it and use the photocopies to sketch out ideas.

    I have to know who came up with the names of the regions. Those areas look nothing like Alaska and Montana. And what everyone is calling the Lagoon, isn't even a lagoon!

    I am nerd ragin' here =P

    I think these names are more fitting to the geographical features.

    Bungie came up with the names. It's what the areas are called in the game.
