is forge world the only map that we can forge on? im guessing forge on other maps too, but i dont think there has been anything saying either way if not, its not that bad... whats your opinion? i know some people like to forge with map geometry, and use stuff thats already on the maP, so it depends
Forge World is going to be the only map that is built specifically for forging. However, you can still forge on all of the other maps, just with a more limited object palette. There has also been speculation of DLC "Forge Worlds" with different themes.
Im sure forge world will keep up occupied for quite some time. If there was another map released at a later date the only thing I would be hoping for is a new skin, probably a sandbox type skin.
will there still be phased, fixed and normal? and i wouldnt put it past bunbje to try and squeeze every penny out of halo, with dlc like that
I'm sure those features are built into the Forge engine and not the map itself. So yes, I would assume so.
I hope non forge world maps have a decent pallette to work with. Lots of immovable items would be great. Even just the kill barriers would be good for normal maps, being able to block off certain parts of a map would be cool
If that happened, and there was a Sandbox skin and the only thing different was the World Design and textures, I would not buy it. Sandbox's textures were ugly.
i think they will release another forgeworld with a map pack, EG 3 MP maps and a forge map but it bwould have to be drastically different
If Bungie recreates anything from the past, it will be as a result of good feedback. Sandbox's aesthetics didn't win any awards, so it will not be brought back.
If they brought back say a huge foundry motif sanbox would be viable and I would buy it. That is to say, make it like an urban zone with removable warehouses and add on buildings. The ability to make the map world look at one moment like the burnt out city in ODST, the next something like many foundry warehouses or a town. Somewhere were infection would be fun, that places could be nice swat and close fighting if the creator so chooses. What also would be of intrest is the more forerunner area map worlds like Guardian or epitaph would be great. or perhaps an flood one. damn good infection games on that.
you cant really get any more forerunner area than forgeworld. its on a halo ring with all forerunner objects.
although forgeworld is practically anything you could want it to be (were*house, forerunner structure, blah blah blah) me thinks bungie will release a map with different setting and different areas to forge, E.H. sand and with more land and stuff, or urban with buildings and a less natural feel
I mean with the foggy dark dank swampy scene. Not just the valhalla looking scene. same forerunner, just a different atmosphere.
I honestly wonder how much space a DLC Forge World map would take on a hard drive. And I agree with having an urban forge world setting. When they were talking about that being how it used to be (giant skyscraper) I was like... damn. Also, I'm quite sure you can forge on any other map. The limitations wont be as boundless as Forge World, but you can't ask for too much. Plus on the Incompetent Cartographer article on Bungie.net, the lobby has a setting that says 'map' and then Forge World selected. I'd assume there would be no such setting if Forge World were the only map. Only an assumption though. and you know what they say about those...
That would be good. A forerunner forge map, earth forge map, halo map (already out), reach forge map and a covenant forge map.
Can everyone here agree that Sandbox' geometry (as in Crypt, Mid Level, and Sky Bubble) but with Foundry item textures and map theme would be perfect. Foundry was awesome to look at but with an item pallet as small as there was it couldn't compete with Sandbox; but as others have said in this thread Sandbox textures looked hideous. And on the topic of DLC for more Forge Worlds, I'm gonna admit that's probably one of the best ideas I've seen in a long time. For the most part we have what we need already just in the default Forge World (the coolest part being as much water as there is, who doesn't want to build maps on the ocean) but for the sake of having different atmospheres more Forge Worlds would definitely be a really neat thing to have.
Forgeworld is not the only map you can forge on. I believe ferrix said that you could forge on all maps, I'm not sure if this means you can forge on invasion and firefight maps though. Like others have said there might be another forgeworld with DLC ( I sure hope there is but wouldn't be upset if there wasn't). But what I would like is a map with all the objects, and different skinns for each. For example: Sandbox with foundry boxes, and The Pit's missles. etc
Forge world is meant to be an awesome forge space with different locations for forging. It has been designed with the forger in mind, but the other maps have been designed for gameplay. You can still forge on them, but forging in Forge World will give you open areas to transform to your will. Buwhahahaha!
