So I was looking through some of the concept art for the Dwarves in WAR which includes alot of work on Dwarven Holds and had the idea of making a Dwarf Hold in Halo Reachs Forge World. What I'm thinking is making it near the cliffs where the waterfall is at, I can make (or try to at least) a ancestor face with the water coming out of its mouth, an ironclad in the ocean, make the flat area at the top of the mountain into a "gyrocopter" landing zone. stuff like that, what do you guys think?

No idea what it is tbh as am unfamiliar with Halo
But it sounds like aplan!

Not too sure of the water falling from the mouth of a dwarf tbh
Would the face be a stylised carving?
That would work imho

Forge World is where you can make your own multiplayer maps in a fairly open world. And yes the face would be a stylised carving of a dwarf, they do that alot

The water fall would be a powerful beard!
Sounds cool

Sorry to be dim would this be a cgi landscape?
Is still very cool but like the idea of a table with this terrain.

You've never played Halo Reach at all have you? go to youtube and search for Halo reach Forge World and it will show you some examples of how it would be made.

Oh and the waterfall woulden't be the beard it would be coming out of the carvings mouth.

Damn, you saw straight through me!

Do I sound like a stereotypical Crown Court judge who hasn't the foggiest notion of any technology developed after the wind-up phonogram!

What's Youtube btw

The image of a judge used to be someone bumbling old dude in a wig and gown, half asleep in court, who would suddenly wake up when someone mentioned something that was very familiar to the rest of the population eg "The Beatles? What are The Beatles?"

Saw something of this when on a college fielf trip to the court rooms. Doddery old chap had never heard of a Rum and Black

sorry to drag the thread away from sensible gaming stuff

I'm a huge reach gamer.

I think would be a pretty neat idea. Seeing forge art work for many other people, I hope this idea turns out. I'd love to see the finished result.

Do you have a gamertag? Maybe I could help.

At the moment I don't have xbox live as I'm getting ready to be deployed so I canceled it, and I'm a fan of the forgeworld bit, when I first got the game I spent 5 hours making a map before I even started the campaign I'm still coming up with a few ideas most of the map won't be interactive but mainly just for looks so you won't be able to go inside the hold.

The Dakka Reach Awesome Squad will look into this possibility... or i will at any rate.
