this is gorgeous but needs performance tweaking. even 1v1 i had quite a few framedrops
Yeah, spent ages playing on the early FC versions. Terrain editing was top notch and it is something Forge does need. Everything else was pretty basic and you were stuck to whatever prefabs the FC team wanted to make. Plus they never cared about updating it or supporting the community enough, so it always died way too early.
Eh, they have terrain editing going for them but they lack versatility when i comes to creating buildings. You're basically limited to using their premade buildings.
Also interesting name.

Really dude?
Is there a good way to analyze the framerate so I can optimize it? I'm left kinda guessing if it's running at 60fps as I'm not as sensitive to framerate issues. Now that the retrieving data bug that was plaguing that map is resolved I might be able to disable the fog and help out the frame rate.

Cant wait to try this. I get vack home to my Xbox tomorrow!
I mean, I dont fully disagree, but they have their limits. Both games are ghost towns vecause the editor's stupid arbitrary limits. FC3 is DOA, and dont even get me fucking STARTED on Far Cry 4.

Are there any useful spawn guides out there yet?
My map is all done, but it's been a long time since Reach and I am completely lost when it comes to the zones and the weighting... :/

i have found that on some canvases it doesn't actually originate at (0,0,0) but a little higher or nearby.
Its easy to find where by looking at the reflections in glass pieces.
on my space canvas it was (0,0,0) but on other maps there bay be other geometry in the way so 343 moves it.
It would be nice if they gave us a way to do that ourselves.

It's good that the menus load so much faster now, but not having a Forge countdown is really annoying.

Maybe a Forge item that you can place anywhere around the map that is literally arrow point that makes it your guideline for your map. So you can place it in the center of your map.

Used for the older Halo games but the fundamentals are still there.
Sometimes its just pop them down and then playtest to sort out the issues.
Some used spawn zones, other put own exact spawn points.
When I do it, I tend to think about where this spawns the player and what they see first thing, trying to put them in cover or at least let them get to cover. Trying to cut out potential spawning into death is tricky.

Thanks dude.
Map is geometry and weapon complete - will spend tomorrow at some point doing the spawns and then I'll need some folks to help test it!
Blue Base:
Red Base:
Red View:
Generator view:
The two generators have been scripted to, on destruction cause the main gate and bollards at each base (respective to the generator destroyed) to drop. Players can reset their base security at the generator via a switch.
Top-Mid:
Red Base (Generator taken out, base doors open)
Red Base Interior:
Active Camo Ice Cave:
Map has suprisingly large number of weapons - SPNKR, Spartan Laser, 2 x Sniper Rifles, Hydra, Active Camo, and the usual smattering of lower tier weapons.
Add to that, 1 Warthog and 2 Mongoose per team, 2 ghosts and 2 Gungoose on the map (1 each per side)

You can make some pretty nice-looking fern things by just using the treetops:
I really wish we had actual shrubbery / scrub vegetation, though.

landfall was tremendously underrated IMO
Microsoft never really made a good push for any of Halo 4's DLC adoption. It's the first DLC maps I can barely even remember. Landfall had a pretty cool layout and concept.

Oh they made a push for the Crimson maps. Bad PR day when that launched.
It never existed anyways. They made up a fake promotion to cover their ass for accidentally putting DLC up for free.
Yeah I worded my post a bit wrong, was trying to imply that with my "magically didn't exist" part

out of all the concept art released before the Halo 4 DLC came out, Monolith is the one I wanted to play the most. And to this day, it's the only one I haven't played at all. I at least got a few games on Landfall in MCC.
Monolith is one of the best Halo 4 maps, imo. The only issues I had with it were the occasional bad spawn (more than likely due to Halo 4's heavy bro spawn) and that the Beam Rifle had so much aim assist. It's a solid map that I hope someone gets around to remaking.
I managed to get a couple of games on it. It was basically the last "arcade" map released for Halo.

I must have been drunk when I typed that sentence. Yeesh.
I might make a spiritual successor. I'm a big fan of the dark Forerunner/Promethean look.

Skyline, Monolith and Landfall were all pretty decent as far as Halo 4 DLC maps go.

If you remake Landfall in Halo 5, be sure to use the ambient sound FX to make it sound like there's a real-life siren just down the road so that you keep hopping out of your chair to double-check.
Thanks dude.

That sounds super interesting and it seems like you just created some kind of new gametype. Imagine this with assault, you have to arm the bomb in the main base, but before being able to you have to destroy the generator and stuff.
Kinda like a mini invasion
I've considered making it once or twice, not sure I can be bothered to make a faithful recreation though because that would require far too much measuring.
I'm making a re imagining of Haven at the moment though.
I constantly came up in the H4 playlist on the MCC. It's a really good map.

Did some concept art for the bases on Genesis. I'm 90% happy with the current layout, so i'm just taking my time to design assets before i work on the final version.

Al hail the Forge Masters!
I am noob to use the forge, but i have a map idea. (maybe somebody make it)
The map:
Slayer or BTB on the surface of Spirit of Fire. Several years ago, i saw a Halo Reach Forge map what i loved.
I think you can make a much better map with Halo 5 Forge with this idea.

Dayuuum. So you're attempting a map set on Genesis? Can't wait.

They should really give us a client to edit weapon parameters and gametype settings and whatnot like they discussed during Halo 4.
I believe that is exactly what the Physics budget is.
Posted the slideshow in the community thread and forgot to post here. Here's some updated Deadlock pics.

thanks guys
More like inspired by. I've made some stylistic departures (darker rocks and terrain and less lights everywhere) but the goal is to translate the geometry and art direction into a strong layout. There's been a lot of pushing and pulling to design something that makes sense and feels somewhat good to run around, so I have to Forge a clean version this week and get some games on it finally.
SIGH it was late i meant flora lol. I wouldn't mind shooting Moa out in the distance though
