I think that the progression from halo 3 to halo reach and then to halo 4 forge mode as been good. But i believe That 343 industries is not putting enough effort into the forge mode. I think by now we should be able to Make our “own” maps. Such as… You start off with just land… Then you add boundaries, Mountains,Water etc. I eventually except to see that you will be able to Make your own structures.
They can’t put effort into something they didn’t created as it was “Certain Afinity” who did the Forge mode.
Muahahahahha!
Keep in mind the Xbox 360 is 7 years old. While that stuff is sweet, it just won’t work on this hardware. I would expect some terrain editor-ish feature in halo 5 though.

I was creating levels with buildings, land, water and air vehicles, time of day, fog effects and contoured terrain back on the original Xbox in Far Cry Instincts. The current hardware could easily support that level of detail.
Halo 4’s Forge is in many ways inferior to the Forge 2.0 we had in Reach. I’m unimpressed.

yeah I gotta agree with you somewhat there. it seems like the step up from halo 3 to reach’s forge was incredible, the deciding factor of why I bought reach to begin with. All 343 has done with forge is trait zones, highlights, reskinned the halo reach inventory, magnets, and added a couple of map based structures.
Admittedly I was quite impressed with the added map based structure pieces, but to me the highlights weren’t necessary, the magnets are clunky and innacurate so I don’t use them much anyway, and trait zones probably wont be any use in any of the maps I create anyway. While reskinning the halo reach inventory is good because it means I can remake some of my old maps, they really didn’t add anything extra.
honestly I was hoping for something more.
