I mean it’s really tough in H5. I used to be OK at forging. I could forge some basic stuff. But in H5 it seems way harder. Just placing and deleting stuff seems tougher. Worse part there is nothing in game to help. Forging is something I definitely wish I could do better…guess I just need to sit back and try and find some YouTube videos or something.
Don’t think the tutorials will help much since sadly I feel like the redesigns aren’t very user friendly. Used to love forging too with previous Halo games but H5’s forge kind of put me off using it since don’t find it fun to use in H5.

It is clearly the most complicated forge, even some basic stuff is some what confusing. But clearly the best forge as some stuff that others have managed to forge are just awesome.
It does take a bit of getting used to, but once I got the hang of it and memorized the controls, I ended up liking it a lot. Maybe it could have benefitted from a step-by-step in-game tutorial or something, but it’s far from the hardest thing in Halo 5.

If you’re like me you’ll be curious and get used to it. I didn’t like all the major changes at first (for example some button layout changes) but it’s for the best.
I’ve forged here for years and I’m always learning something new. (Like for exampke I met a guy who invented a health bar tracker that is 100% accurate for both players and objects in game). That’s why I love it, it’s so creative and unique. Not perfect but pretty damn good.
If you want to make a good map it can take you up to one full week straight. A simple cheap yet good map will take you one full day.
You’d think they could use some of that Minecraft knowledge for Forge functionality.
I loved forging in the previous games, and I still don’t understand why they remapped every single button in H5’s version. They could have just added in the new features without making relearning everything a part of it.
It definitely takes some getting used to. The controls do seem very user friendly once you get them figured out though. The hard part for me now is coming up with creative things to make.

Complicated?, sure but the general design doesn’t feel user friendly. Sure it might have a few new features but it also has more restrictions too like the awful placement of the kill boundaries, the way they organised the UI is pretty bad…for me personally I feel like it’s the worst forge because of how badly organised it is and I just can’t find any enjoyment in using it in the condition that it’s in. It’s the 1st Halo where I just have no interest in forging because of how counter-productive it feels, yet in Reach I used to spend countless hours making stuff in forge just for fun.
As far as controls go, it’s not any more difficult than every other Forge, the controls are just placed in different locations.
The List on the left side is too cluttered and it shrinks and grows, but a good 1/3 of it is entirely useless and common sense.

Personally, I believe the “Hardest Thing” in Halo 5: Guardians is Mythic Warzone Firefight.
The newer forge definitely seems like it was made in mind for the hardcore forging community; which is fine, but it makes more casual forgers have a rougher time trying to work things out.
Forge is easy
