Forge Controls Are Terrible

I can understand making a new set of forge controls for a totally different type of forge with different things. But this is just a bigger and better forge so what I can’t understand is making such a garbage control scheme and at the same time making it so people can’t use the good old fashion.

Like really does 343 think the old controls don’t work for their version of forge for some reason or do they just want to go “oh this is a completely new forge expierence so we wanted to make everything unfamiliar to people who use forge in the past for some reason”

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Just get used to them. Won’t take long :grin:

Are they really that bad?? I’m still updating.

I’d just say to spend some time with it. I doubt these changes were made without reason. I can understand the frustration though, it’s like playing with a different control scheme than the one you’ve been using all this time, but without an option to switch.

In what way are they bad? I haven’t tried it yet, can’t be bothered.

i agree.

i loved forging and i was good at it but this ? this is serious -Yoink-

They stated in the sprint that they tried the normal controls with it and it just was not working. So they made this new one and it worked out with what they wanted it to.

It’s really not that bad… For the amount of stuff that’s been put into it and with the new control scheme I find its easier to make more precise building in your maps. It works, there’s just a learning curve.

Change is scary, I know.

Or you could learn…

Hold Lt to select object -_- I want to pick it up and keep it held thanks very much

I agree, i mean A to move down??? What the -Yoink-? These controls are just cancerous to use. If i can’t get used to them i’m just going to sell my xbox and buy a PC

I’d love to see proof of that. “Oh no, I can’t understand a single set of controls, I’ll just sell my XBONE”
PC is better anyways. (in general terms of upgrading and such), but I do love my Xbone to death.

People hate change…
What a sad world to live in…

It’s not just the controls, halo is the only reason i play xbox and so far halo 5 has been a disaster. Forge was the only thing left i had hope for but even now i’m disappointed

Simply put - Forge sucks. I mean, they don’t even get Snap right.

^ Lol obviously someone who couldn’t forge well in the past or hasn’t tried the new controls. Try rotation snap on a wall larger than 64x64 an make lets say…a hexagon? These controls fail to execute even the most basic functions.

Lmao… I’m loving every minute of this.

Typical 343. We’re changing controls because reasons.
We’re not going to allow you to go back to classic controls cuz Bungie.

I absolutely loved the Halo: Reach forge but this forge control scheme is just plain stupid! Who came up with B to go down and A to go up?! Why is that a needed thing? I still haven’t worked out how to pick up an object and move it, these controls are retarded and idiotic. Why have 343 done this? It angers me so much to see a beloved tool become unplayable simply because of the controls. Fix this, please.

The controls suck. I don’t want to have to hold down the left trigger to move a block and then hold right trigger to rotate with the same stick. Rotate should be the right stick… I also want to go up and down with the bumpers not with A and B that’s stupid. I also want to select a block with A and moving it around then place it with A. old way was just fine for years. I don’t see why “your forge” controls is sooooo much better then the previous halos that you needed a whole new control scheme. I spent hundreds of hours in reach and halo 4 forgeing. Hopefully a classic control scheme will come in a update… till then. Thanks 343 your forge controls are dumb.
