This is the first [[Forge/Halo 4|Forge]] canvas on ''Halo 4'' that allows players to go and Forge on sea level, and also provides the largest space available; If the width of the largest island was '1', you could go away from the middle of the map by about 6-10 units. | This is the first [[Forge/Halo 4|Forge]] canvas on ''Halo 4'' that allows players to go and Forge on sea-level, and also provides the largest space available; If the width of the largest island was '1', you could go away from the middle of the map by about 6-10 units. | ||
Forge Island includes three flat islands with green grass along with pale brown patches of dirt. Apart from the very edges of the islands, the entire top is flat. It also featured all new pieces, being the first ''Halo'' map to feature a green screen piece, flat, natural stone walls | Forge Island includes three flat islands with green grass along with pale brown patches of dirt. Apart from the very edges of the islands, the entire top is flat. It also featured all new pieces, being the first ''Halo'' map to feature a green screen piece, flat, natural stone walls and place-able trees. Also, several pieces that on other maps belonged to other object groups were moved to 'Buildings' — these pieces were more cumbersome for rendering and dynamic lighting and as such, in "Buildings", less of them could be placed. | ||

===Miscellaneous=== | |||
*The map features a [[Wikipedia:Chroma key|green screen]] in its new unique palette, obviously intended for [[machinima]] purposes. | |||
*The Forge Island-exclusive Forge items are the same as the ones in ''[[Ravine]]''. | |||
*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 performance as the other "Building" pieces. As a result of this, the object limit for the "Buildings" pallet has increased from 12 to 20. | |||
*Forge Island seems to have less framerate issues on split screen than its other counterparts, although this is likely due to the map being mostly flat terrain. | |||
