    Forgers have anxiously awaited the arrival of the File Browsing system, which was a staple of Forge and community content dating back to its inception. 343 Industries has been hard at work since launch to craft a smart, concise and convenient system to sort through the multitude of creations out there in Halo 5, and today marks the release of the online File Browser!. Click here to view the official blog post.

    You can start browsing and downloading Community content today, from game clips and screenshots to map and game variants. Visit HaloWaypoint.com, sign in and visit the File Browser in the Community Tab. From there you're able to view your files and browse more from the community!

    343's latest rendition of the File Browser comes with the ability to view your own bookmarks and instantly bookmark recently played maps from your game history. You may also view and bookmark trending content from the community. Like always with the bookmark system, a file's unique download count is maintained, and you can now view how many times your content has been bookmarked.

    The File Browser goes beyond even that with the ability to view Game Clips and Screenshots saved through Xbox DVR, and permanently bookmark you or your friends' recent films from Theater mode.

    We're excited to explore and discover new community content and look forward to what new and improved features are on the way!

    Do you have any thoughts or suggestions for the File Browser? Please leave your feedback below or in the File Share Feedback Thread.

    FORGEHUB NOTE:
    Now is the time to update your map and gametype submissions with the appropriate download links. We may need to do some housekeeping on our end to keep things consistent, but it should not take long!

      @GodlyPerfection Fine, fine, you've proven your godlyness. You seem so good at explaining why projects are running slow, that it makes me curious where you attained that skill :cool::p

      I would never think to argue the mess that is accumulated over the course a games development but you must agree that databases can't run in that same condition. Complicated as the code can be, it is logically organized and battle tested. I wouldn't argue why the Xbox side fileshare is running behind, but all the cloud saves are on Microsoft's end and that code would or at least should run virtually independent of the console. It should only really tag in to mention that there is a new or removed bookmark to add to the Xboxes existing bookmark list.

      Did we even get an update on the Xbox side to support the new fileshare system? I wouldn't be surprised if someone told me that we didn't. Either way I can't imagine it would be very big update if there was one.

      The long and the short of my point is that six months post launch, I personally, truly feel that we should have had a shining example of what a file share could be, not just the basics.
