Forge Changes and More in Infinity's Armory

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

The Infinity’s Armory update is live and the pizza skins are in the wild! 3.3 GB in size, it’s a small but sweet update. But what you saw in the live stream and update page was not everything. Forge saw some sweet changes. If you want to see the full patch notes, here’s a link. Note that they are at the bottom

Forge saw the addition of a “Delete All Objects” and “Reset Map Properties” for fireteam leaders in forge lobbies as well as bounding box previews when navigating through objects in palette menu. We also see the Kill Ball, Gravity Volumes, and Grids return on top of new crates, lockers, hazard suits, shelves, canisters, and a power core. There has also been a number of bug fixes that you can read in the full patch notes. Some objects have been moved to new categories so read the notes if you forge a lot!

The UI has seen some changes as well:

  • Spartan Rank Progress now appears under all players’ nameplate - Active Roster updated to show whether or not friends are joinable and/or can be spectated - Rarity is displayed for REQs in Spartan HUB Customization - Players can now see equipped customization items from Spartan Appearance, Spartan ID, and Weapon Skins rather than going to each individual menu screenOther changes including some changes to Blue Team’s colors in multiplayer, increase REQ level speed in Warone, fixing exploits on Overgrowth, we can now change teams in custom games if the option is enabled, once again among other changes that can be read in the full patch notes.

On a side note for you dying to get needle rifle carbines and Halo 2 battle rifles, don’t try to open REQs until 2PM PST, that’s an estimated time given to Bravo by 343i for when the new REQs will join the collection

What does the bounding boxes in forge do

I don’t see the rank under my nameplate does anyone else?

i dont have a problem but its a thin little bar that fills with blue as you progress towards your next rank(not CSR just to make it clear)

Still waiting for mine to finish downloading… but overall It’s a pretty extensive update… covering a lot of complaints.

Thanks 343i.

It shows you the boundary of the object based on its dimensions as you’re scrolling through them. Gives you a rough idea of the size without placing the object down.

All of this yet still no proper shield doors.

Since the update my forge maps are not working as they were. The lights ( point ) were illuminating objects at a distance, now they are not. So all my maps have gone dark ( outside of the fall-off range). This was the only light set up that illuminated objects at a distance. It still works in the forge after a bake, but not in custom games Lights dont disappear, Please fix.

I’m disappointed that you can’t weld Mantises anymore. A lot of great gametypes and creations came out of that.
