It wouldn't get boring. In 21 (or however many maps are out now) weeks, you start over. How would that get boring?

And Bladed, that kill that the motherfucker coming up open purple in TS Construct happened like this. He goes up the lift, shoots me with literally (I counted them) 3 FUCKING AR BULLETS, and beats me down. Meanwhile my 2 BR shots (6 MOTHERFUCKING BULLETS) + beatdown only drops his shields. Way to fucking go balancing the AR, Bungie.

Mythic Map Pack, indeed.

That doesn't mean it's balanced correctly.

AR is less accurate, but does more damage. BR is more accurate, but does less damage. You were in close-range combat.

Seems like balancing 101 to me.

I'll take this as a birthday present. Thanks, Bungie and IGN.:D Can't wait to get my grubby little hands one it.

Yeah, but it also takes a fuckton more time to shoot a BR than it does to spray and pray with an AR.

If Bungie won't give us BR starts all the time, why not make Team BRs have no ARs?

What were you doing with a BR in closer range combat to begin with? It's not made for that; it isn't the all-purpose weapon it was in Halo 2.
Edit:

I can't believe it's that big. It looks like it is as big as the ground level part of the map. Is it? This will be an excellent place to make a map that would be perfect for Hog Wars.

Man I love the AR I'm such a noob
 
Wow, that is ridiculously sweet. If I was more into Forgeing levels, this would push me over the edge to buy the Halo Wars CE, but as it stands I think I will still wait for Halo Wars to drop in price a bit and buy the maps separately. It's mainly going to depend on HW reviews and potential announcements of the general release date of the maps.

I imagine it has the same boundaries as the ground level - out to the guardian wall with the towers.
 
Goddamnit, I just can't quit you, Halo 3. You keep pulling me back in.

Of course, we couldn't really make another Ascension unless there were a way to make a revolving platform. Hint.

:lol:lol:lol Jesus!! Thats so wrong

As for new infoz: Holy crap on a cracker!! DO WANT NAO PLOX!!
 
Alright, so I haven't read the article (only looked at the screens), but I don't understand how this second tier thing works. Is it something that you can move up and down to different heights? Or is it always going to be that high in the sky? That level is insanely high up there, and I don't know if you are all going to be able to remake all of those maps you mentioned just because the map dimensions will be way off from the original ones.

The thing about Gephyrophobia was that the cliffside platforms were really high up as well, a Sniper Rifle was typically the only weapon you'd use to get kills up there (Beside the Banshees that is).

Holy. mother fucking. shit!!!

Sandbox is going to be so fuck awesome. :D The lighting in those screens at the very top, the blue flash, the blue grid! and those layouts from above are so amazing. Can't wait. :)
 
Trasher said:
I'm guessing this is a Halo PC map.
Click to expand...
Yes. So much fucking fun too, it was an absolute blast on capture the flag. The teleporters at the back of the flag rooms all led directly up to the cliffside platforms, so you'd have the flag carrier being escorted by other people and Banshees far above the main platform.

Botolf: I gotta admit, that map looks friggin awesome in those screens. I can only imagine how epic CTF was on that thing.

I get nostalgic just thinking about it.

Whenever Halo 3 PC shows up, it'll be an obligatory port.
 
Outside of ForgeHub, are there any other communities out there dedicated to Forge Maps? I'd be interested in hearing what the hardcore forgers thoughts and initial plans are with this revelation of the Sky Bubble.

Ask Eazy. The man paints when he forges
although I do not wish to bang his paintings despite being so beautiful

That four-base map looks awesome.

I wonder, are we going to get to play on these example maps? I guess they wouldn't be too hard to recreate. I'll volunteer to redo the Warthog jousting one!
 
As incredible as this looks (and it really does look incredible), it's still not enough for me to get over the shameless shilling of the Mythic maps with Halo Wars, and I really hope people stick to their guns and refuse to get the LE, and wait for the regular Marketplace release. You really would be doing us all a favour to make sure this doesn't happen again, but I can understand this is a gigantic temptation.

A couple of them may make an appearance in Matchmaking.
