Forge is the one thing that will draw me back to the game, so I hope it is in a reasonable state. I don’t mind some bits being broken as long as it’s not too broken to the point where it’s unplayable.
Hopefully not at all, but I will say I will be disappointed if Forge doesn’t have some sort of custom games workshop where lots of things can be manipulated.
The custom game setting options are way more basic than I had hoped for.
Realistically would be good to have an almost game building game within Halo so anything is possible.
It will be quite broken. I’m also saying the same for co-op campaign at this point.
It’s subcontracted and the development studio is still advertising for employees to work on it, so I’m skeptical. To my mind, Forge is absolutely critical and needs to be flawless.

I have little to no faith it’ll work when it first comes out. Would love to be wrong, but how many times does 343 have to eff up to believe they’ll do something right the first time
I’m going to give a hot take here:
I hope it comes out and is extremely buggy, and takes many months to fix.
The more complicated and advanced something becomes it means the more likely that smaller stuff (ie bugs/glitches) will fall through, so I hope that 343i tries to wow people, tries to release the most impressive Forge yet (in terms of features)
The more sad scenario that could happen would be 343i release an extremely barebones Forge mode, and they put tons of it behind a paywall, so no I’d rather they attempt to make something special and make mistakes along the way than they give us budget Forge and expect us to pay hundreds of dollars to get the whole thing.

Forge is something they manage to not royally screw up in their games, but given how Halo Infinite’s development cycle went, I wouldn’t be surprised to see stability or performance bugs upon its release.
Who knows at this point. It seems that anything that can go wrong will from how 343 has handled things so far.
Well, actually the big concern is they’ll do what Bethesda did and try to monetise it.
But yeah I am concerned that’s why it’s delayed.
They cannot have ignored all the people after Halo 5 telling them it was barebones and a terrible idea to not ship with this stuff. There must be some issues with the Engine and it’s development that put them in that situation. You don’t look at that and say “that went well. Let’s do the same multiplayer update system as 5”.

god imagine if theyre gonna sell reach forge parts
My hypothesis is they will try and monetize color pallets on props. Open up your wallet if you want you maps to look anything other than default grey.
I’m willing to bet our map saves will get eaten.

that’s not really true though, Bethesda didn’t monetize the creation kit, they just monetized certain mods made by modders.
To put this into perspective, it would be like if 343i didn’t charge anything for Forge but made a few forge maps paid content (which wouldn’t do anything lol)
I mean if they are willing to charge for colors for armor, makes sense they’d charge for colors in Forge 
To be fair though, they did make Forge free for Halo 5 did they not? So I personally think its unlikely to happen but wouldn’t blow my mind. The real issue is that you best believe if they make Forge into a paid experience the vast majority of maps will look horrible.
I expect Forge to crash as often, if not more often, as Custom Games, with the additional good fun times of losing your progress or your Forge save data entirely every crash

I can see the Season 3 patch notes now.
Under continued investigation: corruptions when the game renders lighting on the “Desert” canvas, resulting in all progress being lost.

Considering the fact that Skybox Labs and Certain Affinity are doing it again?
Not very broken at all.
I think the title of the post should be: So how broken do you think forge will be IF it comes out lol.

I’m just horrified that 343 in their infinite wisdom will find some way to monetize Forge.
