==Description== | |||
{{Main|Great Anvils}} | {{Main|Great Anvils}} | ||
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 Infinity Science's Forge group to help set up custom [[War Games]] scenarios, gaining the designation '''War Games Map_Set/: 230-1'''. | 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".

== | ===Design=== | ||
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. This is the first Forge canvas on ''Halo 4'' that allows players to go to 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 also featured all new pieces, being the first ''Halo'' map to feature a green screen piece, flat, natural stone walls and placeable 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. In addition, each island is actually hollow, along with several rocks around the islands, and can be entered by placing teleporters inside the islands and teleporting in. These big hollow spaces are fully forgeable in. | |||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*The map features a [[Wikipedia:Chroma key|green screen]] in its new unique palette, obviously intended for [[machinima]] purposes. | |||
*By placing a teleporter inside the islands, you can enter a 'cave' inside the island, which is also a fully forgeable (albeit probably not intended) area. The rocky spikes protruding upwards from the sea (Visible better when in the 'cave') are also fully hollow. | |||
*By placing a | *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. | |||
