I finished a forge map and I wanted to play it in custom multiplayer with friends. The issue is that if i try to play it in forge mode it has to be teams and from custom multiplayer the only gamemodes are jugernaut and slayer. How do I make other gamemodes in custom multiplayer? aka CTF, KoTH, Race, etc.
I think I understand what you’re saying. Here’s the thing- when making Forge maps for objective game modes you need to place/ properly configure objective markers for those modes. For instance, with CTF the game needs to know where to spawn the flags. With KOTH, it needs to know where you want the hills, with race it needs to know where the checkpoints are.
If I remember correctly, CTF is pretty easy to do:
(In Forge, load your map with a CTF game mode selected)
Flag stands (one needed for each team; can be found under objectives)
Team: The team the flag stand is for (usually red or blue)
Under “Advanced”:
Game specific: true (the flag stand will only spawn in when playing CTF)
Game type label: CTF_FLAG_RETURN
Do that for both (or all) teams involved and your map should work with CTF.

thank you. This is very helpful. I have one other question. How do I get other gamemodes to show up in custom games? do i have to somehow save the game mode from forge into the custom games section?

Did you get CTF working? When the map is properly configured for the other objective modes they should show when the map is selected in Custom Games. To set the map up for the other modes you’ll have to go into forge, select the game mode you want to make your map compatible with, load into the map, place the objective markers and assign their proper teams/ labels.
Sadly, I don’t remember all of the game type labels for modes outside of CTF. Back when Halo Reach came out in 2010 I had a strategy guide that told you how to configure all of the objective modes. I used to be a forge king and had all of that memorized but I’ve since forgotten it and lost the book lol. Back in the day when a map wasn’t compatible it used to say This map variant is not compatible with this game variant. It seems MCC does things differently and hides incompatible modes.
What Halo game and modes are you trying to make compatible? If I get a chance I might go back in and figure out how to make it work.
