Made a good Halo Reach Forge world map yet?

[bas6344]

I have been pretty much spending all my time in Forge world mode (after completing Reach campaign solo ON LEDGENDARY for the 3rd time, last 2 times with free for all scoring on + great fun) I have made 3 maps so far

Storm the castle: An Island stronghold with 2 teams fighting, one attacking and one defending= Last man standing.

Area 51 : With full size At-AT walker, Tie fighters(as near as I could make em), UFO's all crammed into a hanger = Deathmatch.

Spartown : A residential town with houses, buildings, car parking, street lights, shops, shooting ranges, and other mad sh1t this one is still in progress as I keep finding new ways to use the forge items for other uses

my only comment is the lack of natural world items for use, the only ones on offer are rocks, (boring!) I would of liked some foiliage or a tree or two


anyone else made anything?

I've made 5 (I think) with a 6th one in progress.

The lack of any naturally occuring objects - besides rocks - is a little annoying. What's more annoying though, is that when you do build a map, half the work is making sure that people are only able to stay within a certain area and not go wandering off around the entire Forge World map.

One solution is to build in an area of the map that's completely surrounded by water, or there's the uglier solution which is to block everything off with rocks and huge walls. But even then, throw a jetpack into the map and you've really got problems.

Don't get me wrong, Forge World is terrific, but oversights like the ones mentioned above as well as the lack of tutorials - it took me hours to find out exactly how to put in objectives that worked for modes like CTF, Oddball, etc - do get annoying. It'd be nice if Bungie could patch tutorials in; personally I don't need them now but I'm sure there are others who do. Also, it'd be nice if we could get DLC packs with loads of new items, building blocks, buildings, bridges, etc, to use in Forge World.

I made a map in the first week of release and it only took a couple of hours. I put it 300 yards above water to prevent people escaping and a friend put me all the spawns and stuff like that in it which was great as that bit looked really confusing.

Once you put a little bit of time into figuring out (ie. going online) what all the tags and stuff do, it's really easy. I finished a new red vs blue team game focussed map the other day that currently works with Slayer, CTF, Stockpile and Oddball. I'll upload it once it supports some more modes.

Found another Forge-dedicated website. Loads of stuff on there; some of it gameplay focused, some of it purely done for the hell of it, but holy shit some of the maps on there are bloody impressive!

:lol:

S/he/it's still online, so I guess I'm not really helping...

Lol. Well I'm on holiday so I'm not checking in quite as frequently as I would during a working day (go figure) but I asked Dan to ban him and it's been done.. at one point he/she/it was posting faster than I could delete 'em.

it was a running joke VA. Nothing personal.

lols

I assumed it was a joke anyway. Speaking of running jokes, there's so many running jokes on here that I still don't get! Have I still not been here long enough?

POTATO!

Brand new, free DLC!

Ping!

I'VE NO IDEA WHAT ANY OF THESE MEAN!

Yeah all that goes way over my head too.

Still feel like the new boy in the classroom sometimes.

Indeed. But I gloss over that by being the "class clown" of the forum.

"50 Cent? Yeah, I'll play that."

Oh I wouldn't say you were the class clown of the forum. There are a few on here tho. They could start there own circus act. *ba-dum-tshh*
