Forge possibilities and expectations

I am not sure what 343 has been touting about their forge or if there’s been any news about it. Given that this is seemingly an Open World game, I’d imagine that they would be cooking up something special for forge.

It is my opinion that Halo Reach’s forge is hands down the most impactful forge to this day. Halo 3’s I hold very closely due to it being the original start of nostalgic great custom play. Basically, I’ve longed for a true return of “Forge World” or somewhat of a new reboot of such. With this game being grander than ever before, I’d expect the spaces to stack up to the claims. We’ve already made advancements in the tools and features in forge, if something is missing, trust me they’ll here from us and hopefully add it in… I’m more interested and concerned about the play spaces. Give us mountains, hills, caves, canyons, rivers some forests … don’t hold back 343!

you will be able to create mountains, hills, caves, canyons, rivers some forests if its anything like far cry level editor

I’d love to be able to spawn live creatures personally.

All I really want to see from Forge is Forgeable AI. It has limitless posibilities. I just don’t know if 343 are capable of making it though due to a range of speculative limitations

tame your expectations :stuck_out_tongue:
although there is so much that could potentially be done. . . i got a feeling. . . based upon the tone a way 343i has responded to some questions … like mp and campaign both being present on day 1… it seems to be it can be likely that we might not get forge on day 1… again. That, and im not exactly sure how much better forge is going to be… all we know is eventually it will be there, will have the undo option and im sure some minor improvements at the least.

I hope they do more but seriously this whole year has been full of high expectations and it seems that every time people get dissapointed. dont expect. Just hope.

They brought in skybox for forge and have it listed in the game description. I’d be surprised if it’s not there at launch. What features it has at launch- you’re probably right about expectations- but for forge to not be there at launch means skybox has been doing nothing for the last 2 years.

Halo 5’s Forge was ridiculously good, it ticked off most of the community’s requests over the first few months after it launched. Other than utilizing AI and undo/redo options I can’t think of anything huge they haven’t already included that people were asking for.

I think the most important thing for Infinite’s Forge would have to be the release itself. Halo 5 launched Forge a couple of months after the game released, and by then many people lost interest with the game. Forge needs to be available on day one and it needs to come with every feature in Halo 5’s Forge (with improved visuals, of course).

If done right, Forge and Custom Games could be Infinite’s lifeblood

I would like to see some kind of space map in which we could build or design our own space battles and perhaps even our own ships. With the new xbox there is certainly a lot of potential to do something amazing.

I’m just hoping for a better lighting system than halo 5 forge

Object scaling would be huge. Full terrain editing (not reliant on pre-built chunks). The ability to cut parts out of objects (so you’re never stuck with unwanted bits sticking through your structures).

There’s still plenty of room for new tools/features.

lighting is going to be dynamic so no more limited light maps

Great to hear!

I’m just going to assume this will be the best/most amazing Forge to date. Honestly, for all the whiny babies complain about 343, one thing even a 343-hater all admit: 343 Forge(s) have been the best and BETTER with each iteration.

I can’t imagine how AWESOME Infinite’s Forge will be, I just know it will be amazing.

I just hope there’s a good ‘filesharing’ capability so we can find new community favorites like the old days.

Can’t wait! I was never very good at Forge, but damn did I still spend countless hours being bad at it. It’s just so fun.

I don’t know if 343’s Forge has always been better. Halo 4 Forge was kind of a letdown. It was barely better than Reach.
