I haven’t seen any messages in the breakout loading screens of lighting generating, even though we know these are forge maps. Does it happen when the map is loading up or is it gone altogether? Im hoping the latter.
It didn’t happen on the Beta’s forge maps either from what I recall. Orion and Pegasus loaded just fine.
Maybe it loads in the background during the ‘poses’ that they do at the beginning of the match.
If Halo 5 is using a form of Global Illumination with some deferred rendering then they may not need to go through the process of generating lighting. It should be all done in real-time rather then being pre-baked like previous games.
Oh I hated that lighting generating wait screen in Forge. There are many times during a project where I need to go in and out of edit mode to test jumps, heights and other things. I like how it was in Reach. Instant.
