Forge Island is set in a peninsula to the southwest of [[Requiem]]'s smallest continent, referred to by {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} science teams as the "Great Anvils". The geological data gathered from this area is used by The Infinity Science's Forge group to help set up custom [[War Games]] scenarios, gaining the designation '''War Games Map_Set/: 230-1'''.

The Forge Island-exclusive Forge items are the same as the ones in ''[[Ravine]]''. The map features a [[Wikipedia:Chroma key|green screen]] in its new unique palette, obviously intended for [[machinima]] purposes. Many objects that had once been in separate pallets, such as the "Walkway Large" or the "Window Coliseum" have now been moved to the "Buildings" pallet. This is due to how these objects are just as laborious to perform as the other "Building" pieces. As a result of this, the object limit for the "Buildings" pallet has increased from 12 to 20.
