'''Forge World''' is a [[multiplayer]] map in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' intended for use as a "blank canvas" for [[Forge]]. The map encompasses several different regions and environments which allows users to create entirely new maps of varying sizes, similar to the three distinct areas in [[Sandbox]].<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=27386 '''Bungie.net''': ''Forge World ViDoc'']</ref> | '''Forge World''' is a [[multiplayer]] map in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' intended for use as a "blank canvas" for [[Forge]].

The Island is roughly symmetrical, with a large rock formation at the center and a small bay on one side that molds this area into a horse-shoe shape. There is a small tunnel that cuts through the center rock. The Island is designed for vehicular combat and is recommended for larger, team-based games. The Island was designed to be vaguely reminiscent of [[Sidewinder]], thus the horse-shoe shape of the map. | ||

The Pillar has been referred to by Bungie as "The Rock", despite the fact that this location is named "Pillar" in players' HUDs. It was modelled after the level [[Ascension_(Level)|Ascension]] from Halo 2. | ||

The "Lagoon" is a large sea cave positioned along from the end of the Coastline area of the map, and is located below and to one side of the Coliseum's cliff entrance. The Lagoon features three cascading waterfalls, and a large cliff face with a half-dome hollow cave reaching in. It is also adjacent to the Island, which can be seen clearly from the area.
