Hey everybody and welcome back to ForgeHub! Sorry for the Haitus recently, I've been dealing with some stuff in my personal life, and while that's no excuse, rest assured articles and streams should be back up to speed this month! We've missed quite a lot over the last month so let us get right into the news

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Halo Infinite
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Halo Infinite got a new article and video posted about it recently, this will be a general summary of all the highlights!




Today we got the sad news about Forge being delayed from September to November, while the wait is excruciating, we will soon have it in our hands and be able to create to our heart's content. This delay also came with the news of some images from internal beauty corners of maps that you can see here below.





We also received some pictures of the Forge Canvases available at launch!













We also got to take a small glance at Detachment and Argyle, two forge maps that were made by 343i that will be published into matchmaking with the Winter Update on November 8th. Speaking of the Winter update, of course, all of that is shown in the screenshot above will be added to the game on November 8th (To my knowledge from the screenshot above and the given information).


Detachment


Argyle

We also got some previews of 2 new maps that are coming in Season 3, one is an asymmetric 4v4 map, and the other is a BTB map set on a desert cliffside/dugout, see those below





With this update, we also got a small glance at all the upcoming things that will be updated when it comes to the live service, such as Match XP, Career Rank, and many other long-awaited features! While a lot of the stuff that has been shown here is still far off in relative time, this is just one step closer to our beloved forge and seeing Halo Infinite excel in the future.

Sadly, Co-Op has been delayed until the November update as well, with Split Screen being seemingly cut for now. Hopefully, both will come to the game at some point!

MCC
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MCC has also recently been updated to include a slew of new features, customization options, and quality-of-life improvements. For starters, under video settings, you can now custom-select all videos that are used throughout the game. From the main menu to customization screens, to the individual game backgrounds, all can now be customized to your intent. Now if we could just get a music player for the main menu that'd be sick!

MCC also got some brand new armors added, as well as new victory poses that will be unlockable from the Exchange.



These armors that have been added are cool! Looking very Gundam/Power Rangers esk, while also not looking too far out of character for Halo, there are also some cool looking Mark 6 adjusted armor pieces with the breacher set.

Forge was also Updated for Halo Reach, allowing you to now duplicate objects, delete all objects, and add named location volumes to your Halo Reach maps! Alongside those forge improvements, Halo 2 Anniversary and Halo 4 also got Halo 5's Soft bake mechanic to where you no longer have to bake lighting every time you want to walk around on your maps!

Alongside all these updates also came the addition of the Golden Moa states to Halo 3 ODST and Halo Reach, so get searching for those pesky Moa's!

--Mods--

Mod Support has also finally coming to Halo Reach with the tool being updated heavily to make it easier to mod the games. This updated tool has been delayed until a future update, but rest assured that it'll be out soon! There is one part of bad news though, all Halo Custom Edition content will have to be updated for the new tool in order to work properly on MCC from here on


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------End of Transmission
