Forge Island - Available Today!

It’s very rare that corporate development schedules actually cause us to release something early, but Forge Island is that very rarity. Thanks to some stuff that’s so boring I can’t even begin to describe it, as well as some amazing work by our test, design, art and backend teams, we are happy to present Forge Island today, instead of April 11th. The good news is of course that now dedicated Forgers will have more time to build and craft amazing new spaces, objects and ideas, and the bad news is that there are no default spaces to try, although we’ll endeavor to get something illustrative into our File Share so you can tinker and tweak.

We hope you love the new playspace. :slight_smile:

It’s… Beautiful wipes eyes

it’s amazing

Thanks 343

My eyes are already blinded by its majesty.

> It’s… Beautiful wipes eyes

It’s huge…

Just came across this while browsing the file share. Don’t know how this guy got achieved it. But he somehow got out of the map and took some pictures to show the sheer size of this map.

I’m just amazed. THANKS!

And 343 continues to amaze me. Thank you very much!

wow forge island is available already this is a really nice surprise to wake up to thank you. Call me crazy I think they planned this early release than an April release to make themselves look good towards the parts of the community who they don’t have a good reputation with, or maybe I’m being silly but either way this is a nice surprise.

I’ll take this early release as an apology for messing up something so simple like an X indicator.

I’m guessing pan-cam mode if it’s in Halo 4. I’ve done that with it in Halo 3. Pretty cool looking.

THANK YOU 343!

You’re so awesome that not even the word awesome is good enough to describe.

WOW, two weeks early! That’s insane. I’m looking forward to forging on this.

Its really rather simple, find an outside barrier, out of bounds. place a player trait zone, unlimited aa, speed & jump 300%, gravity 50%, shoot yourself out there until you die or teleport back, but you want to die for theatre’s sake. After you die, go in theatre, right before you die where you can only have first or second person mode, go into 2nd person mode. then continue until he dies. Then your free to roam in theatre.

I just hope they work on some more maps though, and not end it with this & caste map pack.

Eh. Pan-cam is neater.

I’ll download it sometime. Make another jump map like I did in Reach.

Doubt that it is pan-cam mode, he has a film clip of it if you look in his file-share. That isn’t possible in pan-cam to my knowledge. Is there even a pan-cam mode in Halo 4?

Allow me to shamefully copy your “thank you” text, I don’t think that I thanked 343i yet for this map :slight_smile:
THANK YOU 343!

Looks awesome, can’t wait to download it.

Thanks! It’s awesome!!! What to build now…

I don’t forge but still I took a look at it it was amazing, looking forward to see it on matchmaking :slight_smile:

Oh gosh, I won’t be able to play Halo 4 until sunday :frowning:
But anyways, 343 deserves a prize for this.

THANK YOU 343
