I really hope the Islands are connected. Like, REALLY hope.

But I'm pumped. Can't freaking wait. Also, possibility of two new vehicles, the Siege Bike and the Light Assault VTOL. REALLY hope the VTOL makes it in.

Halo 4 Forge creators rejoice, a new Forge Map with a series of wide open spaces is coming on April 11, it's a free, and it's called Forge Island.

It's actually a series of three islands in one giant open water area. The first island is a very large open space, the other two are medium and small sized. All three are very flat and unobstructed for pixel perfect Forging. Forge Island is compatible with the current set of Forge tools, but it will also introduce some new items into the Forge palette as well.

We got our first look at the new areas today during 343i's PAX East Halo 4 panel, which included a demo walkthrough of a custom-built version of the classic Halo: Combat Evolved map, Hang 'Em High.


Forge Island will be available to download for free on April 11, just a few days after the Castle Map Pack, which will be available for download on April 8 (you can check out one of the new maps, Perdition, right in the video above).

343i also talked about changes coming in its third Title Update (TU) to Halo 4. Specifically, the TU will include balancing updates to the Active Camp and Gauss Warthog, but more notably, it will see the return of the "X" marker on the HUD when a team mate is killed.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/03/22/halo-4-getting-free-forge-island-map

The palette for the map is said to be nearly identical to that of Ravine. It has also been confirmed that there will be no new major updates for Forge , and that any changes will not be implemented until Halo 5 is released with the new Forge mode.

So basically, no new vehicles. :(


In response to the LARP, yes it will likely be moved to Halo 4 now, although I'm concerned that they said they are flat, because they means we'll have to forge up some barriers to make it more like natural terrain. But yes, we will work hard to transition the LARP into Halo 4. Now we just need to decide who gets the Large Island and who gets Medium. :P And we could possibly have something special planned for the small island. ;)

How many videos are out on it? The only video I've found is a banshee flying over 3 different islands that looked nearly the same.

If you guys looked at the second video on that IGN article for the Castle Map Pack map "Perdition", they say that it was originally a Halo: Anniversary map that got switched out. They then made it different because they didn't like giant pedestrian parks with trains....THEY WERE REMAKING TERMINAL, DAMMIT!!!!! AND NOW WE GET "PERDITION" INSTEAD.A JDKLFJDLSLKFJ ASDKLFJAKSJLFLDJFLKDJF;LA SLKFJI0OWUEGJBM,S Z.JGIO!!!~RJASU0GJ0WAIOKL MWTFBBQ

No, they said that the layout was kept the same from the original concept version, but they changed it from a pedestrian park style to an industrial style. The layout was the same.

If it was apart of the Anniversary Map Pack, it had to be a remake of a previous map. Therefore, I believe it was either Terminal or Turf.

Well they still did say they kept the layout, so it definitely wasn't Terminal. I could possibly see Turf with a few adjustments to the structure and lines of sight, though.

:( Aww. They aren't Islands but plateaus. And they aren't on the same height level.

Aw well lets see if we can make it work.

From watching the full panel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OuZ1yTZBZ4 @ 52:30), him saying it was from the Anniversary map pack was wrong. He meant to say Defiant, so it was always an original map.
