Opinions on Forge Controls

Games Halo 5: Guardians

To anyone who uses Forge, how long did it take for you to get used to the controls and settings?

Forge used to be one of my favorite and most dedicated parts of Halo in 3, Reach, and 4. However now the controls seem way too complicated to just do the simplest builds. I understand and actually enjoy all the incorporations 343 has added so you can literally make pretty much anything but I end up taking way too long just to simply place a single object sometimes. This in turn can be overwhelming when I realize how long it will take to create the entire map I want. Nevertheless I’m hoping with time I can get more fluid with the controls but am not sure how long that may take.

I’m still not used to them. I prefer reach’s forge.

The controls are admittedly a bit overwhelming, though I think you can get through just fine with the basics.

I loved forge in the other games, but when they changed literally (I think) every button in forge I couldn’t get used to it and so I haven’t seriously forged in H5 over these past more than 2 years. I don’t really see why they needed to remap every single button from the previous forge modes.

I love Halo 5’s forge controls. It didn’t take me very long to get used to them. You just have to get in the habit of making sure what you’re interacting with is selected, and things you don’t want to move or delete aren’t selected, using the bumper buttons. It’s really not as bad as people say it is.

Once you get the hang of the controls you will appreciate the changes they have made. In my opinion, the controls are superior to any previous installment and I hope they don’t deviate too much, if at all, in Halo 6.

You will for sure! There is a bit of a learning curve but after a while its second nature. To be honest I couldn’t go back to a previous forge.

I agree 100%. The controls are a bit hard to get used to at first, but once you get it you understand why. I think they did a good job making it as logical as possible with how sophisticated Halo 5’s forge is.
