-5:06 confirmation of shipped Forge maps with the game. Most likely will include the lockout, ascension, and sanctuary remake along with most of the other custom maps made by Bungie shown in the video. Prob will be Sanctuary, Ascension, The Cage, Lockout, Warlock, and Coagulation
Hmm I don't suppose any of you remember me, but my lord will I be back full time post release of Halo Reach to be forging and what not. I had been waiting patiently for the news about Forge and I have to say, it is everything I hoped for and more than I could have imagined. Finally no more of this "Place at start, respawn time, start new round, interlocking, geomerging," and so on. This is going to make making great maps so much better. Now instead of half the focus being on using glitches and tricks, its all provided by Bungie. Halleluaeh.
I WAS WATCHING THE LIVE STREAM & IN AN EPIC SKYPE CHAT AT THE SAME TIME! BTW, I found a leaked picture of the forklift.. I srsly can't wait until Reach!
This was just a great great idea for Bungie to do. I will be Forging a lot more now, and I will see a lot of my more impatient friends finally Forging as well. I LIKE this ship. Very exciting!
While I was planning on getting the game the day it came out, I was only mildly excited. But after seeing the new Forge I am REALLY excited. I have never been that great at the glitches to make the awesome, and if I may, Forge Hub worthy maps. So the fact they Bungie has made the glitches part of the actual game just made my life easier. That being said, the expectations for maps will have to reach (pun not intended) a new height. Judging good maps will now have to weigh heavily on how well games play on the map more than the ascetics of the map. Either way. I can't wait to get my hands on the new Forge. I also hope that the regular multiplayer maps are forgeable and not just restricted to Forge World.
Speaking of the Forklift Imma make a Foundry remake so you can forge inside of it lol. Ehh actually I don't think that would be a good idea, I hated default Foundry so much. But hey at least the Forklifts are useable now.
**puts sticky tissues in bin** Yeah... anyway... like some guy said further up... All maps will really be judged mostly on gameplay now. Making gameplay fit in some of these maps will also be VERY difficult due to the jetpack ability. Making maps Inescapable is gonna be a ***** with death barriers everywhere so lets hope we can all step up in the forge career to make sure our maps are ****ING PROOOO!!!!!
I hope there are just as many movable objects as immovable objects, unlike sandbox which has a block tiny and that was it.
Its going to be a lot harder to decide what maps are going to be featured on forgehub now because all maps are going to be pretty darn clean and awesome. Compitions and other stuff are going to be harder to choose the winner. Reach forge is bringing a life time to fans with forge. New tutorials may have to be made, example spawn placement and crap. Forgehub itself is going to go thru a crap full
Man. This just...raises the bar about twenty bajillion times. I mean, no longer will hours and hours be spent in frustrating tension, attempting to find out how the POO MONKEY the rotating works in Halo 3's Forge. Snapping to angles, nudging, phasing...just, wow. I can't wait for the community's reaction. Step one: 19-kajillion people make twenty maps apiece. Step two: infinite map spam. Step three: amazing Forge Hub maps stand out amongst the others, millions flock to Forge Hub. Step four: world domination. Also, incredible maps. Win.
I believe that it pertains to the placement of the objects. In the video and some of the snap shots several items were place on axis [(x,y and z) also, coordinates is a tool that is used to place object within a 2-D or 3-D space.]
I have to post and say i feel like bungie owes me a certain amount of time spent dicking around with Neanderthal type forge setup. Atleast they listened to the community. This looks amazing and I can't wait to build and post my first map!!!! Go BUNGIE!!!!
Halo Reach The Advantage you can get in the new system is unimaginable. I have a feeling this will out-sell MW2 and get out of stock VERY quickly. Better preorder now.
