I’ve been waiting to play it so badly but unfortunately for me my -Yoinking!- internet decided to go out right when it was finally released and it won’t be fixed till the 21st… so please just do me this favor and tell me about it a little bit.
It’s “Ok” I s’pose.
The maps are smaller then I expected to be honest. They’re large and basically a blank canvas, plenty of room for the 1700 pieces we have, but smaller then I originally thought. The controls and whole new Forge isn’t user-friendly either, so casuals, like myself, probably gonna take a while to adjust to the drastically different layout and mechanics. Overall it looks fun but I’m not too sure yet.
Oh, and they’ve removed pieces that we all miss and love. Namely the Kill Balls. Not sure if it’s true either but One-Way Shield Doors are gone too according to some posts I saw. Can’t really find them either.

I really don’t wanna hate it but seriously?! The kill ball was literally my favorite thing to play with! Plus I was kind of looking forward to downloading an Indiana Jones map for custom games… damn
It’s HUGE. Controls are very confusing and hard to get used to, bet MUCH better. Maps are okay, hopefully we get some new canvasses in future updates. Overall it’s okay.

There’s also a problem with Fileshare for your Forge maps. Apparently, I have yet to check or save a map though, if you save a game it appears on Fileshare and anyone can see and pick up a map.

Forge World.
That’s all I’m gonna say about a new canvas to build on.

Well it’s nice to hear some good on it but yeah seriously you’d think they’d try to put forge world or something atleast like it in Halo 4, 5, or even MCC

PRAISE THE FORGE WORLD.
It’s good, and believe me, I have a lot of problems with this game, I really do, but Forge, I think is good.
My first major map attempt was corrupted halfway through completing it when I walked away from my Xbox for 30 minutes, which is… stupid as hell, but other than that and the bad controls, it’s extremely powerful and intuitive.
Anyone find trait zones?
Best Forge ever. The only problem is learning the new controls, but once you get them the new Forge is way more efficient.
Good for making serious maps but if you want to make silly mess around maps you can forget it.

343i seems to be taking away all the casualness of Halo, ain’t they?
#ThanksMicrosoft
I think it has a lot of promise, judging from the time I spent looking at everything and learning the controls. Unfortunately it’s too buggy for me to feel safe investing any real time commitment to a map. Already spent many hours building only to have all that work wasted.
I like it, alot, its seriously improved! It does take a long time to learn… i learnt it in… 2 hours possibly of constant just trying to find things out and im not quite fluent yet but im getting there… i can make maps fairly comfortably, but it takes a hell of alot of patience which alot of people on this site dont have (waiting for bullets to start flying past me), it does take a while to learn and there is alot to learn! It wont be like previous halos where little things have been added and you can pick it up and forge… this take alot of learning and getting to know how to use it effectively, once you learnt it, its extremely good!
There are bugs with it… and once those bugs are fixed, itll make forging a hundred times faster! But forge is very much useable i have to say and im enjoying it! Only thing i wish is that the thunder sound effect would be a global thing, stupid how it has a range and an extremely short range at that!! so ive had to cover my map in thunder sound effects xD
This is one of my many maps in progress: Downpour
Its a smallish map and ive used fog to create a rain effect… You just couldnt do anything like this… in any other halo… its used hardly any pieces, i have alot more to do but it means the amount of detail i can do is insane!

See things like that make the new forge sound badass but some of these comments are making me question some of 343’s decisions
