So…what do we know so far about forge? What objects and tools does the community know about?
Check out this video. That explains all the new features of forge in Halo 4.
Some of the new features:
-
“Player Trait Zones,” which allow map builders to modify the characteristics of any players that enter the effected area, changing the height of their jumps, the speed at which they run, etc. It’s even possible to reverse the gravity in a given area by using “Grav Volume” field.
-
Elements can now be locked in place, magnetised and more efficiently duplicated. You can toggle it on and off but it makes building objects and aligning them much faster.
-
The lighting system has also been overhauled. Objects placed now cast and receive shadows normally.
-
We have three different forge environments with each their own unique set of forge objects, pallets.
