  1. It's using a fallen tree as a bridge instead of an actual bridge. Or, in qrrbys case, maybe a docked covenant ship the player can jump on which serves to connect two paths without physically connecting them. Take a general path you want, and try to think of a unique, in-universe way to achieve it. This makes the space real, and can help us try new things And, as you try new things, you'll come up with new encounters entirely. Maybe then you will even decide that a simple bridge wasn't cool enough to begin with
  2. I guess I should ask, do you know what I mean by incidental? I wasn't trying to say you needed more curves if that's what you thought. I probably should've explained myself better
  3. Nice to see your name again man. This looks dope. Funnily enough I recently started thinking about forge again, and the map I wanted to make before quitting was covenant themed I may, potentially, maybe, possibly, could perhaps forge a map again someday... and if I did it would be that. Looks dope my brother In the spirit of old times, I would offer some feedback. I'd like to see more incidental pathway design, and less reliance on doorways. Those are two of the major things I still see in almost every map that stand out to me as flaws
  4. @ a Chunk I still remember emailing back in forth during the H4 days. I still recall how excited I was when you first told me you had a new map to look at. It was the first iteration of Atlas, which ended up being one of my favorite maps ever. You still forging my man? Regardless, I want to thank you publicly for responding to me all that time ago. The dream has finally come true, but who knows if it would even be my dream if we didn't talk and I didn't join the forge forum scene back then. I regret a lot of what I've done and said because I was essentially growing up during all of this, but I don't regret it on the whole because it's why I'm where I'm at. I want you to know that I fully intend on paying it forward if I'm allowed the opportunity to do so, and it's looking like I might be Never forget Helix, the greatest halo 4 map of all time

    UNCOMFORTABLE SILENCE

    Yeah, the dl link is in the vid description, I'll add it to this post in a bit, on mobile rn

    Nice, I've always liked the '1 big structure' forerunner maps. Maybe you should consider messing around with some textures and overlays on the forerunner materials. That'll go a long way visually.
  9. I looked at around 10 maps. My favorite was easily saltys map if for no other reason than the teleporter. It was one of the few things in any map that made me stop to think about it. The forerunner interiors are also very cool and made me feel like I was about to violate a sleeping grunt. I'd like to play that map if feeling halo infinite again didn't make me nauseous It does look like this forge has some nice potential for environment design, but that's a pipe dream until we collectively decide to stop making lockout/chill out reloaded. Nothing about those layouts are believable when you put them in a swamp lmao. Make something new please! Also, for better or worse, I wish there were more maps like flowfalls. Levels that are clearly trying to achieve an overarching gameplay goal instead of "room based halo level #815387" @ a Chunk The colors and textures on yours had me questioning reality. I honestly couldn't comprehend some of what I was seeing lol
  10. I'm not like a 5 years old I can look at maps I may not like 😂 I'll probably like yours though
  11. I'd like to look at some maps when I reinstall, any suggestions/links for the ones I should look at?
