Guy 1- “Man, I’m getting bored of playing these same maps in Matchmaking.”
Guy 2- “Fear not, for with this cool Forge tool, anyone can make their own map.”
Guy 1- “Aw cool. Hey check out this map I just made.”
Guy 2- “Damn, this is actually good. Let’s play it.”
Guy 1- “Well, it won’t be that fun with just the two of us.”
Guy 2- “Yeah. Hey, how come we can’t just play it in Matchmaking?”
Ever since Forge was added to this franchise, the only use for it was in Custom Games. But in Halo 4 AND Reach, there are unlimited options in Forge, yet it still only applies to Custom Games.
I understand that not just anyone can make a great map, and I’m also aware of Forgehub.
If you want to play forge maps with a lot of people, make some new friends. Try talking to the people you encounter in-game, or mass-message recent players. Having Forge maps in matchmaking is a ridiculous concept; it didn’t work in Reach… Also, being able to play any forgable map you choose in matchmaking would cause many issues and exploitations to occur.
False. In halo 3-Reach they have had community BTB maps and Community slayer. 343i fails to address it. Also this game has been out for like 2 months now and there is still nothing on the file browser.
The last couple Halos had maps made by the community in Forge in matchmaking, but I’d guess they were a bit apprehensive of adding them in at launch because this forum whined nonstop about them.

I should not be forced to remove real friends my friends list because of an oversight by 343.

Umm…what? Are you saying you have a full friends list? You do realise that is an XBOX LIVE limitation right? And yes, this is stupid. How is forge useless? It’s amazing. Best map editor on a console game by far. And couple with Halo’s awesome community (ignoring whining babies on forums currently), it’s not hard to get your map seen, played and a good custom going with a bunch of friends and friends of friends.
> Halo 5 needs a Custom Games Browser and a real map editor (see Far Cry 3).
Ok I’ll give you that, FC3 has an amazing map editor. Personally, I still can’t go past the community driven experience that is Forge (not to mention it has been around since H3).
