After searching through the forums for some forge topics I only found minor questions and people asking ‘where is forge?!’. So I decided to create this topic because I know there are more big forge fans! (that are aware forge will be released in december).
I’m in love with forge since H3, I’ve build a ton of maps and I think they did a great job on H2a’s forge with the scripting things, like the garage door and stuff.
Now, Halo 5 is here and I can’t wait for forge to come out. We already know about the 3 canvases that will be released; Alpine, Glacier and Space (TBD). You can check them (and more) out here: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/building-the-biggest-forge-yet
In this new forge we will have:
A selection of around 1600 objects compared to a few hundreds in previous versions. - An object count of 1024 which isn’t even the limit, just a recommendation. - Primary, Secondary, & Tertiary colors for your blocks with a list of 100+ colors. - Light mapping, with to many options to explain. - *Multi-select, so you can copy and paste a whole base for example.*And much more!
I would personally love to have the option to place AI/nPC’s so you could sort of create your own campaign. And much more vehicles to use, like even phantoms and pelicans.
Please post your own whishes or updates you know of in this topic.
Thanks. Even though I already knew this stuff, perhaps this thread will inform those who don’t know yet.
Also, you should add Timmy the Whale as a feature.
I’m so excited for Forge! in Halo Reach I really feel in love with it and I’m hoping to do the same again, though my only wish I have for the new forge is that they reintroduce Forge World at some point! I don’t care when I just want to have it again! but heck I’m still really happy with what we have now!
You can walk around on one of the forge maps (select Orion) if you start a custom game and select low grav and infinate thrusters, you can jump out of the map.
This is obviously easy to do in “theater mode” of course but this just lets you walk around instead (spice thing up a little guys).
Also if you are a fan of Attack on Titan, you can “jetpack” around in this mode (add speed boost).

Forgot to mention this. But indeed, you can.
Orion is build on Alpine. As Subject KGB says; you have to change the settings in order to get above and past the kill boundary’s surrounding Orion.
The trees are a good reference to where the walk/forge area stops
I can’t wait for forget, yet i can. Without the proper game settings like infection, i’m not sure how creative i can get.
Don’t get me wrong, i’m all for making a good, well balanced map for team slayer and what not… but when i wanna play with friends just to goof around and play game variants like Cops and Robbers… Well… Hard to do that when there isn’t proper game settings for it.
By the way; if anyone would like to join our group?
We love to team up in multiplayer, we create a lot of forge maps and we do want to create machinima-like montages on them (for Youtube), though, we need more players to do custom games often.
If you got a nice custom map, we could do the same thing.
So anyone interested, just reply to this topic, send me a pm, add me on xbox or whatever.

Unfortunately yes…

As 343 claims; all dlc will be free for the first year.
And I don’t think you should see forge as dlc anyways, it belongs to the game, they just delayed the release.
Never been big into it in previous games, but I am really looking forward to it now. I am starting to draw out some maps in my spare time it’s quite fun.
No AI sadly, although I have no problem with this, I do however have a problem with there being no infection or other gametypes like oddball. which is rather upsetting.
Forge will only be as good as the game-types that people make for their maps.

Let’s hope so, or the game will just lack that little extra spice, and inevitably fall into the pit crowded by other franchises Cough Cool off, doody Cough
Being able to place NPC’s and AI would be amazing what if you could make something like a survival mode like they had in ODST I think that would be enjoyable And they definitely need to allow pelicans and phantoms Could you imagine a 12V12 fight with people piloting and on the turrets of phantoms and pelicans and and other players not in the larger ships are in banshees and hornets, possibly with some kind of objective to be completed like destroy the other teams drop ships. So there would be three pelicans and three phantoms each with a gunner and pilot (gunners on the side or rear turret depending on the ship [sides of phantom with gunner able to switch back and forth, and one gunner on the rear of pelican]) then the other six players on each team are in the one man crafts either defending their ships or attacking the enemies.
