arstechnica.com— An enterprising member of the Bungie.net community has released downloads for blank map slates, allowing easier use of the Forge to mod your game types and map variants.

Bungie has said, they expect the users to create things they cant imagine. Its a positive sign (IMHO) that Bungie focused on the tools and less on giving every single map.
F-ing w00t. I tried to delete just the guns in Epitaph yesterday and it was a disaster. Big ups for this guy. Also, what's up with only one Flamethrower allowed per level? It's only 'costs' $10 but after placing just one, it's greyed out. My dream gametype is a FFA Slayer w/ only incen grenades and 'throwers - Flame Wars. Oh, how I crave that. Maybe someday...
Perhaps this is a sign that user created content will be available for games like UT3 and others? I know MS wants to make as much money off of Live as they can, but they have to realize that the PS3 having unlimited access to user created content, and the Xbox 360 having no access to the same content would have been a huge knock against them.
Guardian, to me, feels like a map from unreal tournament. this isn't a complaint: its a great, TIGHT map for a few players to deathmatch in. right now, its my favorite map for Slayer, though Pit comes in a close second.loving the new maps!
Just wondering, is it possible to download these maps to my PC and then burn them to CD to give to my friend to use on his 360. His internet is not working at the moment and it's his birthday tomorrow and we're all going over to his place to play system linked 12 player Halo 3 so....

The whole Forge thing sounds like an awesome feature.
