    I know that the waterfalls in forge world lag the game but how much? I thought building a map (small, like a 1v1 to reduce the chances of lag in other ways) around the waterfall would be cool, but I don't know if it'll work out. Anybody know if lag will be a major issue if there's only two players and a small map?

    Doesn't affect the frame rate that much, however good luck trying to build around it cos bungie placed a bunch of invisible walls around where the waterfall meets the water.

    If you use a gaming headset the sound from the waterfall is too loud.
    Lag wise would depend on a number of factors including connection and host using lights and pieces with lights. If you avoided glass and railings walkway covers, it could be done or kept to minimum I guess.

    Building there will be more difficult but its still possible if you put the time into it. Combined with the barriers and kill zones your best option is to map them before starting to avoid any unexpected problems later on.

    It's generally an unnecessary risk lag wise and with the deafening noise in a headset, it really should be avoided.

    Ok. I can see the noise in the headset being a problem... and I know there are barriers around it. I have a few ideas about how to incorporated the waterfall in. Thanks!
