In Response To: Please, can someone clarify... (stan) : How is this Skybox different than the open space above the oil rig in that : one map with the oil rig? And not to look a gift horse in the map-editing : tool, but why a special "skybox", why not just let us build : whatever we want on ground level, or let us build up vertical like in the : sky right above the map (in other words, seamlessness; or maybe the skybox : will integrate seamlessly with the ground portion of the map, I'm not : clear on that)? : To be honest, Bungie's approach to Forge reminds me a lot of the second
I think they probably didn't want to just put out a completely blank map. I'm sure plenty of flamers would deem it lazy. Also, if you want to have a blank map with no worry of a falling death you probably should have to use a bunch of your forge objects to do it. So they effectively killed two birds with one stone in my book. In any case. Another difference here is that objects in forge seem to be able to easily rest on the grid (hopefully), making the construction of a level and solid floor much more simple. The space also seemes a bit larger than that space and players have no way of leaving it without dying, unlike on Blackout where it is possible to jump back to the 'primary' levels of the map and remain living.
