FORGE ISLAND: A DISAPPOINTMENT!

[Darkwhip]

Ok so I have been playing halo 4 for a month and a half and have had hopes of a better map than impact, to edit in.
So when I heard about forge island I was so excited.
Now that I have played it, I must say what an awful map.
Sure you can place a few trees but the spaces you have is terrible.
It would be ok if you had a bigger budget and could spawn more stuff.
I rather stick to impact and erosion.

Note, I have played halo 3 and reach and their forge maps such as foundry and forge world knock forge island out of the water.
Poor halo, one step forward with graphics and sound yet one set back with maps.

I think bungie might have done better but who am I to judge.
I am not mean, I know 343 is trying and all but they need to step up.

If you feel like me and are slightly upset with this disgrace for a map say so.

If you feel like you do not agree than say so.

If you have questions please ask.

yup map is terrible

The map was meant for the Forging community. The Forging community likes it.

Here's what the majority of the Forging community thinks:

I like the map. So does the majority of Halo players.

We asked for a forge map. We asked for one with little terrain and buildings. They gave us what we asked for. Besides, the map is huge. They're already pushing the limits of the Xbox so the budget probably can't be larger. As for Foundry, Forge Island is bigger and better. More options to forge from.

As for Forge World, the answer is pretty obvious.

Halo Reach > H4 > H3 (in terms of forge mode imo)

Well apparently it isn't good for LARP, and Forge world sucked ass too
I take that back
Halo Reach sucked ass in general IMO

Sort of. Magnets can sometimes be useful, duplication is great, the green coloring of selected objects is nice. Also, Halo 4 has more varied textures (each forge map has unique textures for most objects), which was one of the major issues with Forge World.

Honestly, I think H4 is still a step forward, but there's still room for improvement.

The map is okay for canvas use, cuz that's what it's meant to be; a blank canvas.

But holy McGod, if they made Forge World 2.0, i would've cried. Forge world was perfect because of the land. So many different areas to use, mostly connected straight by land.

Forge island quenched the forge thirst, but forge world 2.0 would've drowned me in happiness

Exactly.

Like Plat said, the Xbox 360 has hit it's limit. The only reason Forge World was "better" than Forge Island was because the graphics weren't as good in Reach. I mean, think about it. The 360 is a 7-year-old piece of outdated hardware with only 512MB of RAM to share between the CPU and the GPU. They've already cut a few corners to get the H4 Forge to even be functional (i.e. terribly short render distance), so I think Forge Island is the best thing that any forger can hope for from this game.

ok so maybe the canvas size is good but because of the budget you cant make it your own.
also foundry was an amazing map of its time.
i rather just play forge world.

you see in forge world and a little in foundry, i felt limitless i could make the map my own.
but thats not the case with forge island.
i really wish they would make another forge world.

also who cares what the forge community has to say, regular players like us are the real forge community.
forge island was so bad that theres no way im getting the castle map pack unless theres an exp bonus or something.
