For everyone who’s waiting for any H5 Forge news - in this interview with Tim Longo (creative lead 343i - Republic Commando guy) there are some small hints to what 343i has in mind.
Sounds as though they have big plans for Forge in H5 - fingers crossed that it’s more than the usual fine-tuning, small additional feature here and there this time!
Reminder: As forgers won’t compete with 343i’s own maps this time (ALL maps free - EVERYONE wins) it would make perfect sense to empower the community like never before.
343 is lying to us! They’re not going to have Forge I heard in one of these threads! I’m not falling for anymore of their tricks!
…did I do it right or was I not screaming or throwing a temper tantrum?
But seriously, I think Tim Longo is probably the best person for Halo and 343. That’s not to say others like Josh, Frankie or anyone else isn’t but Tim seems to know what he’s doing on the creative side of things.
They should honestly just try to have a forge playlist full of community and developer maps AND gametypes. Like maybe someone forges a blood gulch remake and puts classic mode back on it as a gametype, then BOTH get selected together for the playlist.
I also kept hearing him try to dodge the question of an all forge playlist, saying that the xbox one will give everyone the ability to access those maps, not going into specifics about how. I’m not saying thats bad, they probably havent finished and it could change, its just interesting.
