Alright, I personally think Foundry is a very innovative and all around good map for Forging. But one thing that this intuitiveness has made clear is that Bungie's variant sucks, sucks very hard (compared to some of the FFA Foundry's here on FH. I think we should whine to have it replaced. Just because that seems to be what the Halo community does best. lol now vote and whine away.
Re: Foundry's Default Configuration I don't think it has to necessarily come from FH, although the majority of quality maps reside here. Bungie themselves have stated that they are planning on creating a hopper dedicated to maps forged by the community.
I think we would all agree it would be better to be replaced - after all, Foundry is the forgers map. The question is, what maps fit the bill? They must be: |:| Honour rule free |:| Support a variety of gametypes |:| Be of a high quality in terms of appearance and playability
it definitely needs to be replaced... i think a variety would be cool. Bungie choose about 10 FH maps they think are best suited or we make a new poll for best map or something and then wen u play MM, the system randomly chooses one of the 10 or so maps and u play on it...
and preferably, make a much better use of the available playing area. But for it representing the map as a whole, it would have to look "warehouseish" Shock, I think a few people should just get together and build the ultimate Foundry configuration ...... loyal board post?
7th avenue is mm matierial so is a different level and side longest for btb. it would be cool to see the last level too but that might not happen
I love foundry. But in the Heroic DLC playlist (i havent really played the new two) I always groaned and vetoed Foundry. I just hated the default config. Plus... the two teams would meat each other in a 4v4 carnage very quickly. Too quickly. Both teams should not start on the same side of the map...
El Capitaine ur right... ive always hated how in the first 10 sec, everyone rushes to the same spot nd dies immediately. starting everyone on different sides would be much better
Totally agree with you there. But i doubt it will happen. I think Bungie should use interlocking and save quit. They certainly know how to make a map, just not how to make a nice looking one.
i want to see the guy who desinged the default setting and ask him if he has any imagination that rivals spongebobs. if he doesnt, i say get our most influencial member to persuade bungie to let us design the new layout.
It needs to be not so garsh darned confusing! I can't tell my ass form my elbow in the default configuration! But it also needs to use the bases, and maybe even the back hall. And most importantly, needs to play well on ALL gametypes.
I doubt that Bungie made maps will ever be interlocked or "glitched". To them, it's another flaw in Forge. I really don't care what Foundry map should replace default but just another one now!!!
yeah they definetly need a better default.. but nothing closed off and one that would work good with nice weapon set..
A crack team of ninjas is being dispatched to remedy the issue. If the mission is a success you wll be notified. If the mission fails ..... you may also be notified. over and out.
Bungie, and trust me when I say this, will not change the default configuration for Foundry with another custom fan made one. They will make different version of their own for different playlists, but as mentioned before, they will be instituing a custom made map playlist for forged Foundry maps. However, it will as hard to get your map in the custom playlist as it would to get on bungie favorites, they won't just have free open posting, but rather they will select maps to be put on this custom playlist. The majority of these maps will probably come from forgehub considering that virtually all the good forge maps can be found here. There are others, but this is the mainstream site.
