Halo 4 Getting Free Forge Island Map

4.6
Halo 4 Forge creators rejoice, a new Forge Map with a series of wide open spaces is coming on April 11, it's a free, and it's called Forge Island.

It's actually a series of three islands in one giant open water area. The first island is a very large open space, the other two are medium and small sized. All three are very flat and unobstructed for pixel perfect Forging. Forge Island is compatible with the current set of Forge tools, but it will also introduce some new items into the Forge palette as well.

We got our first look at the new areas today during 343i's PAX East Halo 4 panel, which included a demo walkthrough of a custom-built version of the classic Halo: Combat Evolved map, Hang 'Em High.

Forge Island will be available to download for free on April 11th, just a few days after the Castle Map Pack, which will be available for download on April 8th.

343i also talked about changes coming in its third Title Update to Halo 4. Specifically, the TU will include balancing updates to the Active Camp and Gauss Warthog, but more notably, it will see the return of the "X" marker on the HUD when a team mate is killed.

Activez- How big is the Halo population at this point?


Not as big as it deserves to be.


Honestly I think if Halo was able to play on all consoles, it would be a lot bigger.


Any game's population would be bigger if they were cross platform titles.


Yeah, but I don't think I could picture Halo on like PS3

Pretty big honestly. Well at least I think.


Would say big but obviously other games are bigger


Yeah, if Halo gets a lot more people to play the game, it'll be a lot more big community wise.


I'd say Halo is doing pretty well seeing as they let other titles steal the population over the time from Halo 3 to Halo 4.


You got that right.

Was just wondering since none of my friends plays it anymore. Halo 4 lasted a good month for all of us.
