Forge in Halo 5: Guardians is, without any doubt, absolutely incredible and steadily continues to amaze us.
However, Custom Games is severely lacking in terms of actual customization, both in terms of settings and what you can do in forge.
Sure, you can create those awesome mini games with what we have now, but why can’t we:
-Play free for all single flag capture the flag/other “unique” versions of existing gametypes
-Disable/force colors for both primary and secondary, regardless of FFA or Team based game
-Utilize more zones like survivor waypoints for infection
-Create additional infected types similar to Halo 2: Anniversary
-Set player per team limits to the fullest extent (15 infected starting, for example)
-Random weapons settings
Those are just a few examples. I honestly was really surprised custom games was lacking in the more important aspects of actual customization after seeing how Halo 2: Anniversary improved. Halo 5: Guardians is a step backwards, and I really hope to see an update focused on this and perhaps our UI again (To reorganize the armor customization, mostly. Would like to select helmet then see available skins for that helmet, then pick which skin I want to use. Consolidate!)
Any customization ideas that you’ve had that would be great for forge?
One of mine is the ability to apply multiple game mode objectives into a single gametype (Great way to remake Invasion)
