Halo: Reach (Forge and More)

[Thaius]

Still shaping up to potentially be the best Halo game yet. Looking forward to it immensely.

I would've loved to put this post blank, because i was literally speechless, but i wouldve been reported.

Holy shit.

So Forge is basically an Editor? AWESOME!

Also, what does the OP mean by Map? Does it mean its as big as all the maps mentioned or...

Forge World is one map. It includes 5 specific areas for play, as well as transitional areas which can ALL be utilized in Forge. All 5 dedicated areas are equipped with enough space to have full 16-player battles. This thing is so huge they had to create new technology just to handle the draw distances. It's essentially the largest map ever rendered in any FPS I can think of.

I tried this out with my friend, I must say, for not playing halo for a year I did pretty well. This info's gonna drive my friend wild.

This is incredible. It's like Bungie knows every single thing I didn't like about Halo 3, and changed them to my tastes. Un-fucking-believable.

You know, these ViDocs are what sold me on this game. I had literally zero interest in Reach before I watched the Carnage Carnivale(or whatever) ViDoc on the xbox dashboard. Now this game is at the top of my and my friend's "Most Wanted Game" list. Awesome.

So do you have to use them or can you like cut them off?

So your going to get Reach to see how bad it is? This makes sense...how? Pretty sure that means they still get your/somebody's money, so I doubt they'll care about your motivations.

But yea, seeing as how most map editors don't let you actually play on said map while your editing it I'm just gonna go ahead and keep being excited.

Forge = Splooge!

I freakin' loved Forge in Halo 3, and now they announce all this, hot damn I need to reiterate
Splooge!

 

[duchaked]

I know I'm not one to really do much in Forge myself...but man I can't wait to see what the community will build!

it's insane...it's ridiculous...this is madness

(I have to admit, by making it less clunky to move objects around...I might be tempted to give it a go myself haha...)

The areas can easily be cut off.

Just keeps getting better and better!

I think i just nerdgasm'd when i saw the scale of it and the Ascension remake (Ah tower of power, how will you fair with armour lock and holograms now?)

And the improvements to forging (switching off gravity for objects, phasing objects to geolock them), just brilliant.

and please please please let the rumour be true that there isn't any silly custom content limits like H3, else all slots will be taken up on all xboxes by custom varients of Forge World.

This looks fantastic. Looking to be the crown jewl in the Halo series.
