I just discovered that you can’t forge offline. As somebody whose connection is spotty most of the times, I don’t exactly enjoy experiencing latency during a forge session. I’m not sure who thought this was a good idea, but it is definitely a step back from Halo’s 3-Reach.

the majority of the experience here is a step back. forge while amazing from what the time i’ve spent playing with it, is absolutely pointless to me without splitscreen for my platform of choice, pc. boggles my mind it was decided online only was the way to go.

So to use forge you have to be online!!! Seriously!! …brutal! Personally, I don’t care as I’m not a huge forge person, but I know a few friends of mine will be pissed at this!
Wish I could say I was surprised about this, but I’m not unfortunately

Welcome to the world of “You will own nothing and you will like it!”
Good to know that I’ll always be able to play Halo 3 as long as I have a working physical copy, yet once the servers get shut down for Halo Infinite someday in the distant future, any disc or copy is essentially useless because you can do nothing offline.

One severe storm warning and any goodwill 343 built up with forge is over. Better check your forecasts Spartans.

Campaign and customs are online only as well, people have had issues since launch. 343 can’t get the Microsoft out of their game.

The whole game is online.
And H5G had the same issue.
Sucks.

I was begging for an offline mode since Halo 5, but like always 343i and MS don’t listen to us fans. How can you have unstable jitter in freaking Forge? Why is it that I can’t select stuff while playing alone? How is that I getting teleported out of bound right after spawning WHEN THERE IS NOONE BUT ME IN THE LOBBY?
I finally have a reason to play Halo again, but for goth sake. There always has to be at least one aspect, one detail that ruins it again.
Please! Give us a Forge offline mode again. Let us safe creations locally and build without latency. I don’t think the community is asking for too much here.

so is there any new info on weather Halo Infinite Forge will allow for offline use? it’s a huge deal for creators that they’re able to access their work long after the servers are inevitably taken down. Why isn’t there any voice for this?
Creators wont be able to access their work in so many years when you can no longer authenticate so doesn’t that qualify as important to anyone. If you are a creator and enjoy this mode and all the great things you’re able to do with it, then wake up and realise that you wont be able to access it potentially unless they implement an offline mode. What possible reason is there not to want them to implement this

that certainly does explain thanks. It doesn’t help of course in the future if we can’t get any of our work and they pull the system. Investing one’s time into these great tools only to then one day lose it when the plug gets pulled is not I think acceptable so I hope they have plans to patch an offline mode in when it comes to it
Look like there no off line mode because thay don’t want hackers taking off with there engine code.
