343 Industries
Not to be outdone by Epic Games and Maxim’s sponsored “Gears of War Judgement” free DLC, 343 Industries announced Friday, March 29 that they have released the all new forge world map, “Forge Island”. Well ahead of schedule, the release comes as a nice surprise going into Easter weekend, and it has the added benefit of being absolutely free!
As the largest map yet, it features three islands – one small, one medium, and one large – and an entirely new palette of items to play with. The space on the largest island alone is incredible, large enough to easily house multiple remakes of maps like Blood Gulch or Hang ‘Em High. There’s also a vast amount of space in the air above to make room for flying vehicles or fully suspended maps. All three of the islands are completely flat, to match the request of the fan base for a pure flat area.
Out of the box, it’s not much to play on, but it sure is a lot to play with. It'll be exciting to see what the very devoted forge community will do with this new space.
To get Forge Island, you can download it from the Xbox Live Dashboard or by clicking here.
