Yes, I think that was what he's going for.
By the way, wouldn't it be "forgitechture?"

Um, its called creativty....? A regular wall there would be so bland and boring. That piece adds more life to the map. Thats why theres a map forum called 'Aesthetic' Maps.

But as Insane said, this is kind of a pointless thread. But some pictures did look pretty cool, and I could see myself implementing them in maps of my own.

These are very nice aesthetic parts of maps I like them a lot Idk why maybe they are just pleasing to the eye

Nice guide btw

I highly suggest you read this: here.

Maps shouldn't be built around 'cool structures', I hate to say it, but that's how maps that look great but dont play well are made (90% of the time).

Edit: I'm not trying to bash the thread. The thread itself is great, a good way to pull up something aesthetic for a map that needs some kind of extra pull. But I don't think maps should be designed around structures, there's a big difference.

The power ladder. It is mine. But to answer the above questions about the tilted fence wall with the shield in it is because it looks cool and you can't hide under it withough other people seeing you. This helps solve camping problems.

yes thats true but if promis you if you take a sloppy map and fix it up with a few of these structures then i know it will get a lot more downloads although i know don't judge a book by its cover but what can i say if it looks good ill download for sure! but if its sloppy i dont "DL" it. by the way this is to help out the look of maps not the play of them. it helps out for the eyes though.

This thread seems really pointless to me. Youre basically just pointing out cool structures that dont really matter or affect gameplay. Its not even a guide?

Exactly Wrong...

I feel your missing his point... HE joining together creative ideas.. TO make forge not look similar... Make more creative structures and to add to creative looks of forge... THe reason these looks random now..is because they are just one element of random Architecture... once some one takes the time and mixes and matching the idea in new ways... we will have yet another great map... DID you notice the image with High ground? Well he was making a point ... that could even inspire me..

BTW did you read his post INssane? He quoted Squids in his first post...?

The shield door fence is one of my favorite aesthetic pieces from proximity which is going to be in my upcoming map alot. It makes it look more futuristic. It is a shame however that Paranoia_UK hasn't been on in a while on forgehub or halo 3 because he had a few very good maps. My favorite being proximity.
