Reach is shipping with 15 Maps. Considering every Forgeworld map involves tailor-made pieces, and is as good as if it was made with external tool. And the endless possibilites we have with Forgeworld are basically all we need. However, I don't doubt that Bungie will release at LEAST three Map packs, which should, in the end, account for a good amount of maps. Also, we don't know if even more maps than the ones revealed will be shipped on the disc, as one or two may not be revealed, and a few Forged maps may have been added. So please no "Bungie, I am dissapoint" kind of thing, because Reach is actually shipping with the most maps.
the warlock was way too horrible to be shipped on the disc. We already know that ascension is going to be on it. We already know lockout. We know blood gulch. and we all know the cage.
Paradiso is a map designed by two members of Bungie just messing around with Forgeworld together. The crew found it so fun that they decided to put it into the game, much like The Cage.
I thought The Cage was supposed to be an early incarnation of Lockout when it was destined for Halo CE, remade in Reach Forge?
All the original lockout and the cage share is their name. Lockout was originally named the cage while it was in production, and the guys said the new map reminded them of the original while they were working on it, so they adorned it with an internal familiar name.
Cause one really distant shot of a small portion of a map that you've never stepped foot on is a great way to guage it, correct? I bet theres some wonderful one sided gametype action on that map, and I bet it involved vehicles. Relic style.
haha, this is calm. but still, my statement was justified. That was originally loaded on Bungie.net with the name paradiso01.jpg
Oh nice job figuring that out. maybe theres more to this map were not getting (like you said) You just could of expressed it allitttle less extreme.
I dont understand why no one thought of creating a thread like this earlier. The only reason I posted this was because when I searched nothing like this came up. I hope you guys find it helpful! Got a better picture for Waterfront. Now you can see an overview of the whole map.
so according to that picture we only have 9 forgeable canvas maps? I sure hope that isn't a finalized list. I just counted. Halo 2 had 12 standard maps: Ascension Beaver Creek Burial Mounds Coagulation Colossus Foundation Headlong Ivory Tower Lockout Midship Waterworks Zanzibar and Halo 3 had 11 standard maps as well: Construct Epitaph Guardian High Ground Isolation Last Resort Narrows Sandtrap Snowbound The Pit Valhalla
