I think Halo Infinite should have TWO types of forge modes. Allow me to explain…
Let me start off by saying that 343 did an amazing job with forge mode in Halo 5. It was truly amazing to be able to create quite literally anything you could think of in forge mode in Halo 5. It had everything anyone had ever asked for in a forge mode… With that being said, I believe the forge mode was not very fun to play. There was a huge learning curve going from Halo Reach’s forge mode to Halo 5’s forge mode. Halo 5’s forge mode felt more like a soft software. The controls were different, there was things like scripts which even to this day I don’t know how to use. I’m not saying these features weren’t good to have, I’m saying that for the casual halo player, it made forge kind of off limits for them.
This is where that second mode comes into play.
Halo Reach’s forge was insanely fun to play with friends. I could just hop into a forge lobby with some friends and screw around and make some cool bases. Point is, it was fun! Anyone could use it. It didn’t feel like a software. It felt fun and easy to use but still had many capabilities… What I am getting at is I think 343 should include an optional “classic forge mode” option. One where a player could easily switch back and forth between the Halo Reach style forge and the Halo 5 style forge. Preferably the ability to do it in game in the menu and not have to quit and load back into a new mode.
Both modes have there advantages and sort of there own uses. Halo 5’s forge was more geared towards players being able to create large scale maps and things of much larger ambitions while Halo Reaches forge was a much more simple (less involved) and fun version of forge. I feel that both of these versions have great benefits and I would love to see the player have the option to do whichever they choose.
All-in-all, my point it that not every halo player is a hard core map making expert forger. Some of us just want to play around.
