Awash is a new Forge map in the Halo 2 Anniversary Forge portion of the Halo Master Chief Collection.<\/p>\n<p>First things first, I went to the four corners of the map and placed a 1&#215;1 block. BTW, the 1&#215;1 blocks at 10ft square. Next I placed the large green grass tiles at the corners. Then to get the size of that, placed enough 1&#215;1 blocks side by side on one of the sides of the grass tiles to get that measurement. It&#8217;s 30&#215;30 (which is 300ft on one side).<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>From there I began placing the grass tiles along the complete edge of the map.

That&#8217;s well more than enough space to build just about anything you can imagine in Forge.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sm9Jpt_h7B0&#038;feature=youtu.be<\/p>\n<p>A HUGE thanks to MixMaker117 for making the vid for me while I talked about the dimensions.

See the graphic below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Awash-Pythagorean-formula-ABC.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-18805\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Awash-Pythagorean-formula-ABC-600x211.jpg\" alt=\"Print\" width=\"584\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Awash-Pythagorean-formula-ABC-600x211.jpg 600w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Awash-Pythagorean-formula-ABC-300x105.jpg 300w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Awash-Pythagorean-formula-ABC-500x176.jpg 500w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Awash-Pythagorean-formula-ABC.jpg 1224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Strangely enough, I thought the distance between the farthest point on the length side (left bottom) and the top of the height (top right) would make for a much longer distance. The Pythagorean formula is A (Length) squared (31,472,100ft) + B (Height) squared (4,218,916ft) = C squared (35,691,016ft) (angled pink line above). The square root of 35,691,016 = 5,974.2 The distance between the two furthest points of length and height. Mind you, this is just on ONE SIDE of Awash. This doesn&#8217;t account for the distance between catty corner points.<\/p>\n<p>You may note the small pink line at bottom right. That is the angled line&#8217;s length jutting out additionally at the same angle as the length line&#8217;s. Again, I would have thought the distance for the angle would have been a lot longer.\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>[end Update]<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>-Sal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was curious just how big the foregable\/playable space was in Awash.
