    Forge Wars

    In a nutshell, forge wars is played with two teams, battling it out on either Foundry or Sandbox, in forge.

    The idea came to me when me and a friend were messing around on Sandbox and trying kill each other as many times as we could.
    I then decided to post on Bungie.net, to see what people would think. Quite a lot of people liked it so I went out and created 2 maps suitable for Forge Wars.

    The Rules:
    -You may spawn and edit everything except spawn points
    -You may not start a new round
    -You may not attempt to get to other parts of the level

    If you would like to have a go on your own, here are the traits you need to set in the lobby before starting.

    Editor Traits:
    -Good camo
    -No waypoint

    Player Traits:
    -Leave everything the same

    The maps:

    Foundry Forge Wars
    With the tunnels at the back closed off, everyone is always in the battle.

    Back parts closed off.

    Sandbox Forge Wars
    "You cannot haz", with the gaurdians active, the skybubble closed off and a deadly surprise at the end of the crytp shaft, you know its gonna be one hell of a game.

    No Skybubble for you!

    The shaft ends with a deadly surprise.

    Notes:
    As you're meant to play this in forge, it is possible to delete the objects blocking out parts of the level. However, doing so would spoil the fun of the game.
    I will try to hold Forge Wars every friday, but seeing as I can be very busy, it may not happen every week. If you want to keep updated I have setup a group called Forge Wars.

    I hope you all like it.

    How do you expect for a bunch of people to play in forge mode without quitting? Just kidding, the only problem with this game is that it's completely resetable and you can only do this in forge mode. And by the way sometime or the other every forger has had a bunch of random people kill each other on his map while he is forging, so this concept is definately not new.

    OK Forge wars you did not come up with. I Dont know who but it is not you. I have seen around forgehub for sometime. And it was not your idea. All you did was make a map with spawn points to add to other peoples maps they have. Most people already have a Canvas and they just use that. So this is useless to alot of people. Sorry for being so harsh :).

    Ha, Forge Wars. Good times.

    But you did not invent it, I no. But you have changed the rules. You can't map a canvas out of a canvas! In Forge Wars/Forge Battles, you make the make. There really isn't a huge difference between this and regular canvases, and I really don't like the fact that you can only forge in the main tier of sandbox. Don't block off areas. And spawn point editing is allowed, why not? It's what makes a map good. You're really not inventing or innovating the game.

    Don't take credit for this. Now that you know that forge battle isn't your creation, leave it at that. In the least you really don't need canvases of canvases for forge battles though, kind of weird and unnecessary. But some people may put them to use, who knows. Just speaking my mind here, but I have a point. I'm not looking to go and pick on you, so don't take it like that. :)

    Forge Wars is one of those things where a lot of people figured it out but all do not know each other, In other words it was figured out by many different people. I'm not really liking the concept of this map but it can be fun, why did you block off the back hallways on Foundry? People can easily just delete them and fight in the back hallways.

    I had an idea similar to this a ways back. Your idea is close.

    Hear me out.

    One player is the Oracle and everyone else is a human. The humans try to kill the Oracle and the Oracle tries to kill the humans with splatters. The game works like Juggernaut, only in Forge. If you kill the Oracle, you become the Oracle, and that player must change to a human.

    This is really fun because as the Oracle you shape the terrain the humans play on. But you can't trap them. And the Oracle can use items as shield from power weapons like the Spartan Laser. It makes for an interesting game mainly because the terrain is like a labyrinth. Always changing. Try it some time. NORMAL SETTINGS AND ANY MAP WORK. But, HONOR RULES!

    First off..
    not a new idea.
    and honestly it's not a creative idea either, you can play this on forge without any type of game.
    Secondly, how are you going to ''block off'' the areas, when you are on forge....it's forge for christ sake, they can delete it.
    Try again.

    Oh an good idea did you make it where its no kill balls and the itms are place at start no? If so then it would help out because they could not delete the box around sky bubble. I love forge wars these were so much fun! i hate it when they delete the spawns though.

    Map Posting Rules
    • Threads must include at least one picture of the map.
    • All pictures must be embedded.
    • Download links must lead to a posted map on the bungie forums, NOT your fileshare.
    • You must include at least a brief description of the map.
    • Thread titles must consist of the map name ONLY - no other symbols, comments or irregular formatting.
    • Failure to post your map correctly will result in a topic lock after 1 hour in the absence of a fix.

    You really need to think of better ways to block things off that you do not want people to get to. This idea was not invented by you and was just not posted because it was kind of stupid. Forge is nice but I'll just stick with gametypes/maps.
