Mother of god.




All the same map.

Looks awesome! Water....water everywhere!
Thanks for the screenshots cluckinho.

Really impressive that so many features have returned and/or been built upon. This could easily take me away from the main game just like Reach's Forge did.

Overall, really great demo of forge. That said, anyone here see a problem with this?

can't deny, that's one epic forge island

Im worried that water is going to look really shitty aesthetically with some maps

I'm not a fan of the super saturated look of everything but I was really impressed by what was shown. It seems like custom games might actually be fun now. I hope they worked just as hard on the gametype options though. I don't know if this will be enough to make me get an Xbox One but I can respect all the effort they have been putting into the MCC.

Yeah looks like water has zero transparency like in Halo 4. I also agree that the color in general is overly saturated - you can see this more clearly in the comparison below. Can't wait to see large scale maps that are not flat anymore. I'm concerned with the 1ft of water...how am I supposed to remake sewers? Overall a large improvement over Forge Island.

We still have two more canvases yet to be revealed.

Hoping the newer build fixes the lighting glitches and opaque water. Other than that this is great!! I have high hopes for these terrain pieces.

What I also see is the sea stack.

But you know if we can forge our own islands then the bar will be raised quite high by forgers pushing the envelope of creativity.

Spoiler

Wait, you're the author of Sewers? I freaking love that map!

Overall I am incredibly impressed by this new forge. The lighting on those rocks does look concerning, but as long as it's not as bad as Halo 4's lighting, I'm fine with it.

Jesus mate, I actually will never have to leave my house again.

I saw the sea stack. I cried.

Question: are coordinates available? I didn't see that option in the menus on the video. It could be he wanted to show the new fine tuned manual controls...but a girl needs her coordinates!

Some of this looks so promising. Terrain pieces? Yes please! Significantly higher object counts and (presumably) better performance on more complex maps? Don't mind if I do! Switches? THANK YOU GOD.

On the other hand, the lighting and graphics are pretty weak for new gen. Those dark sea stacks... gross. Trees with no shadows, really? And that opaque water... man, I do NOT understand how Forge World, two games and one console ago, could have looked so much better than this. I do realize that Forge World's water was probably harder to render and led to some framerate problems, but c'mon, this is a much more powerful machine. Give us real-looking water that you can see at least four inches into. That stream on the Battle/Beaver Creek remake looks so terrible - no transparency at all and bright blue even though it should be in shade.

One significant bummer is that we're still looking at basically the same object palette as we had in Reach, just re-skinned yet again. Would it really take that many man hours to entirely re-think the structure category, or design a dozen new rocks? A lot of these pieces were never that useful for building maps - they're too weird and inflexible, which means you can basically only use them the way they're intended to be used, or not at all. Still waiting on a Forge with a wide assortment of flexible, all-purpose pieces, and very tired of objects that can only be used when rotated particular ways and half-buried outside the playable area of the map. Brace large, I'm lookin' at you, buddy.

Still: probably buying this day one, and it will be the game that gets me back into both forging and playing Halo. But I'm also worried that I'm going to burn out quickly because 343 still doesn't see the full potential of this mode, or won't devote enough resources to giving it a SERIOUS overhaul.

Reminds me of this:

I think I might be pissed. Also someone named purely fat is on this site that is not me. I also couldn't get on my account for this site. My account probably was deleted for lack of activity, but whatever. Doesn't change the fact that I am really mad about the objects. It is not because they are the same objects, but rather there are still a bunch noisy ****ing objects. I am going to gorge on some donuts in sadness.

November Post complete see you guys next month.

Did you change your username at some point within the last year? Because that would probably explain the problem.
