Halo 5 forge is almost unplayable. The controls are bad. I’m a huge forger and I feel like I’ve never forged. Here are some of my issues.
A is down and B is up. (so backwards)
Moving objects is unbelievably slow. (stuck on precision movement)
Nothing prebuilt, no buildings, doorways, etc. (everything takes longer)
No steep stairs or ramps. (why not)
No small, medium, large, only dimensions. (you better know dimensions) (or put every object down to see how big it is)
Everything in general is very hard to figure out and accomplish. (also takes longer)
There are countless problems with forge. (controls being the worst) I’m sad to say I’m very disappointed.
PLEASE FIX FORGE!
You literally took the words out of my mouth. Please fix forge 343!
i spent like 18 hours in forge and I’m finally flying around like I used to, i promise if you do it long enough it’ll feel normal [i did change scuf paddles to ‘a’ & ‘b’]

When I’m trying to move objects around the map, I see I can toggle with the left thumb-stick b/w “normal” and “precision”. Now this has a direct effect on how fast I can move the camera around the map, but when it comes to moving objects these both appear to move objects at “precision” speed. I’m then forced to hold the left thumb-stick for “boost” mode, but then go flying by my intended target as I’m trying to place objects. Am I doing something wrong here?
If I suicide while editing, I will never re-spawn!!! Even when I leave forge and come back, I cant re-spawn,edit,play, and it seems as if everything I built in the past 3 hours just disappears, even after I save!! THIS IS A REAL ISSUE. its happened like 4 times already. Just trying to build 1 map!
Hi everyone, once I launch forge I can’t get back to Home anymore ! It’s like the xbox button just don’t work anymore, even when I quit the forge editor, so I’m stuck in Halo 5 and have to manually reboot the console to quit the game. And also when I try to save my map with a custom name everything just freezes when the keybord appears and then again no other way but reboot the console.
Do anyone have the same issue or solution ??
That’s so buggy 343i…
How come I can’t go my saved maps I never respawn what the -Yoink- is up with forge

a/b agree
click the left stick to change speed, hold to boost
This
Also this
Not that big of a deal imo
Starting out i agree, slowly getting faster
controls arent that bad, I kinda like the new controls
My biggest issue is that the spawning seems to be bugged, load a map in a custom to play test, and it breaks the forge spawning to the point where you just never spawn

It sounds like you’ve got your movement snap set to 0.001 (Z-Fight Fixer). When you have the object selected, hold the left trigger to enter movement mode, and then use right & left on the D-pad to toggle through the movement snap settings. Set the movement snap to none and you should be able to move freely.
Ive experienced the inability to respawn thing also. It happened on the outerspace template when I rocketed myself downwards insanely fast with a man-cannon…for shts&giggles/ tool exploration of course. I ended up just having to scrap the map entirely and start from scratch to get around it.
My current peeves are the inabiity to do:
- select all of one type of item. Like say all Man Cannon Forerunners from maybe the (x) button menu when holding one; Or maybe simply from the Y menu.
- undo lastest move/ adjustment. aka ctrl+Z
- remove items accidentally let go of under the map (I lowered a man cannon too deep).
Other than that it all seems ok. Terrain editor is a bit different from how I thought it was going to be but I wont complain, It works well and the pre built banks are a godsend.
Just get used to it. Forge works better in this game, creating things has been redone completely and flows much better.
I love the new forge, but I have seen it has some issues. Glitches is you will. For example, when I place a switch on an object with magnets or not, I will go into sprtain mode and interact it. After I go back to monitor mode the keypad flyes up into the air to some random location. Also the cameras and cinematic intro and outro dont seem to work. When your forging with other people some things like to fly away into the sunset, I have hilarious video evidence of Timmy doing this.
The adove are what this portion of the waypoint if for, not what you would like to change because you have a problem with how they made things.
When I play I’m always in the unicorn helmet!?!? Why is it doing this?? I don’t even have that armor!
You can. Press X, go into Object Properties, and select “(Select all of).”

I’d say the one thing I hate most about the new forge is the dedicated servers. I can hardly play it because whenever my connection gets interupted, even for the tiniest moment, I get kicked back to the lobby and when I try to load it from my last save, I never spawn in and the map has to be trashed. It would be nice to be able to forge offline so I could actually build a map. 343 PLEASE make it so I can forge offline. Always having to be online to even remotely enjoy this game is crap. If I don’t want to play with other people, I shouldn’t be forced to.
Whenever I launched a saved Forge map, it wont be playable. The world will start to load but then it freezes and I cant move. This is really annoying especially if I want to make changes after play testing it.

I’m tired of listening to children complain about the -Yoinking!- controls. Get used to them. They’re better once you do. Glad they got rid of the old BS and updated it into an actual editor. Quit complaining. Get used to it like everyone else.
They need to fix they’re freaking spawning! Lost 2 maps because of a dumb glitch that happens when there are no spawns. (Even though I had some placed down!)
Was about 50% done on a map and moved the initial spawn locations. Apparently you cannot place them directly on the ground… or at least directly on a forge piece. If you do, it wrecks the spawn and you spawn inside of the piece. Apparently I did that with both red and blue spawns. Can no longer get into the map. Keep spawning in an object and it won’t let me respawn. Was pretty sure the blue spawn was ok, but that didn’t work either.
I’m beginning to wonder which forgers you got to help with this because I’m thinking that they weren’t around since Halo 3.
One thing i have heard repeatedly on the major forging websites is that you need to save your initial spawns when you start a new map- !!!DO NOT DELETE THEM!!! Just put them to one side and save them for later, deleting them causes multiple issues with spawning. Lets try and make this more common knowledge!!
