IMHO Halo Infinite Forge is a game changer for the Halo Community! It will save Halo Infinite big time. Forge is awesome. The Halo Forgers will be able to make maps like no other game. The tools kinda remind me of Halo 5 Forge but 100 times better and more complicated It will take some time to learn it.
For me I will be fixing the stock CTF maps like the old days and I will attempt to make a Halo Online map called “Diamondback”.
Here is my version of Halo Online Diamondback!

The creativity will be boundless for the Halo Community and that’s a fact.
So get ready for a crap load of awesome maps!
Side note: Check out Youtube to get an idea what forge is going to be like if you have not already!
There is nothing wrong with anyone having a little excitement, but given 343s actions and what has happened so far with infinite going on a year with the major issues, I don’t share that same excitement.
Tbh, I expect it to be a disaster as the rest of the game has been, because making that fast cash was “more important” then having the respect to at least try to create a quality type of game. I wonder how the shop will play it’s role seeing how the entire game was based around it.
Just saying, you shouldn’t have high expectations on something you haven’t played. Look at all the hype and false promises 343 made prior to this game being released that has left this game in a vary poor state.
I’m just being real, and going off of their actions that literally show the truth that is in plain sight. I rather go off of their actions than someone saying “it will be good”.
My only concern is forge and a custom game browser. I really don’t play in social games at all. TBH I could care less about social games. I just want the custom games area fixed and work with forge with a custom game browser… That’s it.
My concern goes further. I have an artistic view of things, and when lighting and other things are not working properly that has been a major issue with the forge world, it can literally ruin the experience.
There’s way to get access to the unfinished version and it’s actually really amazing. It will be a game changer but only if certain bugs are fixed first, there’s also a lot of things we can’t access in the pre-released version so that can be a good or bad thing.
Custom Games and Theater still needs to be fixed and honestly I think a classic file share system really needs to be available. Should be able to look up a creator or access friends files if they have it saved.
Nothing wrong with excitement, if anything the game and community can use the hope or possible thrill of what you can or could do in forge.
I do agree people shouldn’t get overly excited and people should be automatically negative.
The game still has years of life and plenty of opportunities to keep growing. They first have to listen to player based which theyve have been, the changes are just slow and comes in small bits.
There team needs total dedication which they don’t have at the moment.
I agree but it will be up to the Halo Community who like’s to mod and create maps. Not 343i. Sorry. I can only go by what has been released thus far. It is what it is.
I was brought up to believe that “Actions Speak Louder Than Words!”
The thing I’m the most curious about aside from placing ai like jackals and banished is can we use the nodes to do a 3rd person camera?
I think for games like speed halo, infection, or my favorite slash and smash (sword v hammer with speed and gravity setting) it’s a fun perspective switch now and again.
Not every game mind you but for like a customs browser, it’s be cool to join a 3rd person party mix of random game modes. Throw in some griffball, fiesta (ugh), ctf, maybe some parkour to make it really challenging and a great mix.
My question is: even after Forge launches, how long until we can play this Forge stuff and how are we going to access it?
Will they just drop the Forge maps and game modes into every playlist or a specific “community playlist” like before? If it’s a specific playlist, then it might be rotated in and out like before, maybe as a reoccurring Event?
Or is Forge stuff going to only be in a “Custom Browser” where Challenges won’t be able to be completed?
So many questions… too many to really get my hopes up just yet… maybe 343 should start telling us some info on it?
Before Forge can be considered great the way players play Custom Games must function properly, reliably, and not be a huge pain in the rear. I don’t see forge actually flying off the handle until this happens.
I’d make the argument that development didn’t start until 3ish years ago and essentially restarted on campaign after e3. I completely understand where you’re coming from but most of the decisions made at a really high level come from people not making the game which is the issue. You can recall conversations with people like Staten saying they had to really fight with higher ups to get it delayed the first time. 343 as a whole really isn’t the issue. It’s the few bad actors (whether from 343 or Microsoft) that pull the strings. Forge will become a major boost for Infinite. At this point they really can only mess it up by making canvases purchasable and certain objects purchasable. I highly doubt they will do that as they aren’t with co-op and they’ve been treating the two in really similar ways.
I’m really looking forward to it. The improved textures, coloring options, node-based scripting, and object scaling will all be real game changers. If the leaks are a good indication of the final product- the best forgers in the community should be able to create dev quality maps with relative ease.
It will take some time to learn it.
