My most ideal forge map would have to be a flat island where you could toggle it's size, the amount of trees, mountains, rivers, and hills it has. As well as it's biome; grassy, snowy, desert-y, ect.
It's new name is Settler. If you haven't seen this map variant yet it's at 1:18:02 of the IGN two hour gameplay.
The commentators in the video say it's the spiritual successor to Blood Gulch. However it's on a much smaller scale within the forge map Ravine.
I think with the combinations of cliff sides and caves, this map could be a lot of fun.
What are your thoughts?
This is a great example of dynamic lighting in contrast the the Cage from Reach. Love it. Looks beautiful, though I wonder how it plays with the new mechanics?
Trust me. These will be elegantly constructed shortly after release. If 4 has a file searching system like Reach did, you'll be able to play all your favorite throwbacks no problem.
