We have already seen bits of Campaign and Matchmaking as well as hearing bits of information on the Spartan Ops. From what I have seen so far I am very confident that both the Campaign and Spartan Ops will be great and although I’m still not overly sure about Matchmaking yet I have faith in 343 and I expect to see more information to come that will banish my doubts.
However two topics that have not been mentioned yet are both Custom games and Forge. I have found that I have definitely spent MUCH more time in Halo Reach’s Custom games playing with friends than I have with any other game mode. I have also come to find myself rather fond of Forging, spending quite some time in that as well. Although this is simply a matter of my own opinion and I understand other people may believe different, I think that the success of Custom games is linked directly to the abilities of Forge. The better the Forge is, the better the maps can be (taking the skill of the forger into account).
We have yet to hear a single thing about Forge and I find myself to feel quite anxious about what might be coming. I want them to hurry up and release information about Forge, even if it’s the simplest little thing such as saying whether there will be a terrain editor or not. I for one would love that greatly, having a terrain editor would enhance the quality and possibilities of the maps produced tenfold. However despite how much I would desperately love that I unfortunately do not see it happening in halo 4, possibly in halo 5 or 6 but that is to be seen. I am however interested in how they will go about making it better, the only thing that has been mentioned by 343 on the topic is that when the information comes out we wont be disappointed.
So what are your opinions on the relationship between Custom games and Forge, the possibility of a terrain editor and your hopes or opinions of the improvements of the halo 4 Forge?
