SatanicBagels Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 As many of you probably already know 343i has announced that they will be adding a new playlist tomorrow called the Forge Map Test. This playlist will be the first community creation driven playlist added to Halo 4. It will include 6 forge maps and should be just what 343i needs to revitalize MM. I just thought that it might be useful to post this thread where people can discuss the maps after getting a few matches in on them and maybe even possibly post some constructive criticism. Here are some of the pictures of the maps being added. I do not know anything else about them. ][/b] Map: Shutout Description: Some believe this remote facility was once used to study the Flood. But few clues remain amidst the snow and ice. Author: Big Papa SaLoT Map: Despair Description: A derelict facility... Author: SecretShnitzel Map: Garrotte Description: Better play it straight. Author: MythicFritz Map: Relay Description: As is, in-game. Author: FyreWulff Map: Scythe Description: A community made forge map by PA1NTS.

SatanicBagels Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I also just edited in the confirmed map names. Can't wait to try these out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISTRAFED UP0NI Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hey you guys can try out the maps now so you can get a little upper hand. Just file share search the map authors, you can get all of the maps except for "Shutout". I personally don't care for any of the maps except for the one pictured above. Also the map "Shutout" I'm guessing is the remake of lockout by "Big Papa Salot" that has been floating around. Lockout, blackout and now shutout... Fair assumption I say.

SatanicBagels Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I've just got a few games on in the forge test playlist and I am very impressed. The maps added are far superior to the stuff that was introduced in Halo Reach. My favorite two maps would have to be Simplex and Shutout. Shutout is probably the most faithful remake of Lockout that I have seen yet and it plays very well for SWAT. Anybody who loved Lockout in Halo 3 will love Shutout. Simplex is a great little arena style map. I love how they have the Railgun on the map as one of the main power weapons. It is such a fun gun to use and really is quite the powerhouse on this map. In addition the Overshield in the middle works with the map perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawn Wolf Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Playlist is great. Maps are nice. Exactly what Halo 4 needed. Hope they mix all of them into TS soon, maybe. Should have happened sooner, but hey. Let's hoo ha for a Pit and Guardian remake. I like some H3 with my H4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oTG BLKGreenLTN Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 If this isnt a competition now it should be i mean come on it would be a honor to just have your map out there for tens of thousands to play. heres how it should be Create a map on forge Send in vid to 343 ,if 343 likes it put it into the playlist and have six new maps a month?? Could be way more complex then what im saying but yeah i wouldnt need to spend money just have new maps from awesome halo fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
