Halo 3 Forge Issues (List)

With the release of Halo 3 on PC came an update to its Forge for both PC and console. While the mode is better than ever, it has a number of large flaws that need addressing. If I encounter more over time, I’ll add them in a comment below.

  • When moving around as a monitor, player speed increases randomly (seemingly only when holding an object) - When grabbing an object, the player automatically zooms in to a specific part of it (leading to awkward angles or the entire screen being obscured) - When scrolling through the list of coordinates, button inputs can be unresponsive - When scrolling through the list of coordinates, the next option on the list is sometimes skipped over - When editing the coordinates of an object, its orientation can be altered (such as turning at an angle despite only editing its height) - When editing the coordinates of an object, it typically doesn’t line up as it should (two of the same object, but one is further forward than the other)

I was on Epitaph zooming away from a block in monitor mode, and was forced out of the barrier and died.

The changes to forge are awesome, but need a little tuning.

NEW DISCOVERY - Inputs when editing coordinates are sometimes repeated. When this happens, tapping over once can result in the object moving significantly further than intended.
