Infinity's impact on Forge

Haven’t seen much discussion on this yet, but now that we know multiplayer will take place aboard the UNSC Infinity’s state-of-the-art training facility, how could Forge exactly be implemented through this?

We’re used to having a specific area to Forge in with the piece palette we are given, but now we’re aboard a ship which has virtually unlimited capabilities in terms of augmented reality so these may be some of the things we could be seeing in Forge

  • changeable skybox
  • vast forge piece palette
  • possible terrain-creator
  • weapon drop placements
  • etc.

Forge hasn’t exactly been confirmed yet for Halo 4, but the popularity of it would have us believing it will be back, but I would like to know what all of your thoughts are on all of the vast possibilities that Forge could have.

This made my mind go booom, the excitement trippled x)

I like to imagine it as being like The Matrix in the way that programmes such as cities were able to be built within it. We may not be able to build something on the scale of a city, but it will definitely be big.

A map editor inside the Infinity? That sounds wonderful! :slight_smile:

Haven’t thought of that yet. I’ve got bets on Overkill for the first Last Resort remake :slight_smile:

hopefully they add in a day and night / wheather editor = Best zombie map ever

plus, if they add in a drivable pelican, you could make… well… anything really, what can you not do with a warthog and a pelican?

Being able to change the gravity for objects and vehicals would be nice too

I was going to write this post exactly when I saw yours. I think there is a chance we might see a terrain editor this time.

I hope this whole new “Infinity” thing doesn’t ruin the cannon for Multiplayer maps.

I might sound pesimistic, but I don’t think a full fetched terran editor will be in Halo 4. It would be too much of a mess to control with the controller, plus they would need ALOT of bugfixing since the map could easily be abused by someone because of all the possible collision surfaces and walls that would be added for every map.

Far Cry.

Yes it does. I think these are good ideas.

Something Ive heard discussed that I like is a $10 PC add on outside of forge. It would expand forge beyond what the 360 is possible of doing. It would essentially be forge+. Double the pieces, terrain editor, expanded budgets for CERTAIN items(aka terrain, structures) and custom settings editors for maps. It would explode the variety of maps and double the possibilities for customs and minigame types.

I would buy it. In a heartbeat.

But considering that they said that “they have maxed out the 360s capabilities”, Im excited to see it

Really cannot wait to see what they’re doing with it. I fully expect them to announce it with some seriously awesome -Yoink- contained!

I just want MM to be Epic.
