Its doesnt look like Longshore, Heretic, or Citadel are really that great for forge. All the pevious map packs had one Heroic-Foundry, Legendary-Avalanche, and Mythis Part 1-Sandbox. Im acctually quite dissapointed, but atleast we have Firefight and Free Roam.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Avalanche is only passable for forging. And besides, the only one that they could do is a completely blank cube as large as the engine can handle, and I would save that for Reach.

True, but I liked loking forward to maps like that.

IMO sandbox has enough poissibilities to keep me busy for a while. I haven't even started to scratch the surface of things it has to offer and i spend alot of time forging.

Actually Longshore could make some sick infection maps.

In my opinion there was no decent Big Team map with Mythic part 1, but there was an excellent forge map, so this time, they dropped a forge map (though I don't see how they could make one better than Sandbox anyway) and put in a big team map instead

Longshore looks awesome for forge. Lots of varied indoor and outdoor space, open areas full of crates... It'll be good.

Heritic = Big team/Team slayer
Citiadel = Lone wolves
Longshore = Big team/Race/Infection

But remember how Asembley seems un-forgable? Well I made a map on that so I'll be able to forge on Longshore, Heretic, and Citadel. So I don't see the point in not trying to forge on seemingly 'un-forgable' maps.

Are you saying here what's ideal for those maps? Because Heretic will definitely not without a doubt support 8v8. However, Infection on Longshore sounds interesting...

Longshore looks like it'd be interesting to forge on. You could block off a lot of sections and use the warehouses to make smaller, "mini" maps. Oh, and BTW, Avalanche was passable for Forge. It's used for Forge sometimes, but it's not that great. It's better for mini games or crazy custom gametypes.

And why would it be bad to have no new Forging maps? We've got Sandbox! It has its flaws, but it's the best map for Forge out there.
