Forge in multiplayer?

I was always a big fan of forge, and I had an idea for a great multiplayer game mode. It would be like a 4v4 objective where one team gets a few seconds to a few minutes to forge a defensive base. The other team then has to attack and capture the base. Of course all the pieces would have to be balanced. What do you guys think?(343 plz make this happen)

Sounds really cool, absolutely fantastic idea

Thanks :slight_smile:

Sounds cool, but what if the team just closes themselves in a box?

Funny enough Grimlock, me and my friend used to do something similar to what you described, we called it forge wars. Typically done on forge world we would split up into teams of two and make a base that was then assaulted by enemy players. The objective of forge wars was to either take the base over or destroy the base while the enemy team was respawning. The game normally ended with us just throwing grids at each other or causing large amounts of lag with them.

I don’t think this would work in matchmaking unless they were automatic pieces like Base Walls, Base Tower, etc

And they would have to be automatic magnets and preset locations so no one abuses it.

We should probably just keep it local split screen on custom games…

Yeah I used to do this with my friends as well, which is why I would like to see this on a larger scale.

I’m sure 343 could find some way to balance it. :wink:

Sounds awesome. Reminds me of the first phase of Rainbow Six Siege games where everybody is either setting up defenses or doing recon.

It could be kind of like Halo Wars except 1st person and no AI characters. As in people can buy upgrades to a base, buy vehicles, buy weapons, etc. on a huge map with another team (or three other teams). That way it would be balanced and not abused like in Forge.

Then they run out of air and die horribly.

So I’m sure a large percentage of the halo community would like to see this happen.(of course it’s not competitive, but it would still.be fun)
