Bring Back "Fine Editing" In Forge!

Games Other Halo
1

Magnets are nice, but nothing supplements the Fine Editing mode in Halo Reach’s forge mode. People like myself, who are huge forge builders used this feature to death, and it should be brought back for the advanced building community. In it’s current state, Z-Coordinate fighting is back, and that’s no good.

For those who don’t know what Fine Editing mode is, it’s when you’d hold down a button and it would make pieces move very slowly, so you could place them with exact precision.

Added bonus to put back in: Zooming in monitor mode, and Race gametype.

I agree! You hold the Crouch Button and it moves the item slowly. Also Zoom as Monitor would be awesome.

Anyone notice the Spartan HUD shows up when you return to Monitor Mode?

agreed

Very much agreed.

Good to see people actually agree. I was beginning to think I was the only one. >.>

Yeah, when I first loaded up the forge, I noticed right away that fine tuning, and even the zoom function were removed from monitor mode. I was immediately turned off. The magnets help to replace this missing function, but in the end, I don’t feel in control, or at all free to develop the abstract map designs that I could in Reach.

I agree wholeheartedly. Fine editing really helped in precise placement of objects. The magnets are very useful, but not every piece has the magnet placement you need, and fine editing really helps. I used it in Reach almost all the time, and would love for it to return.

There is a zoom as monitor hold the left trigger (using recon) dont know if that makes a difference.

As far as i can tell there is a fine editing mode. just turn the magnets off hold right trigger and i move pieces the same way as i did in reach.
