I’ve been surprised by the amount of people who aren’t aware of the details of the December update or the amount of people who don’t know about it. So I thought I’d do a post stating its contents - as of the forth of November, 2015.
The first major update coming to Halo five is set to release in December, the specific date of release is unknown as of right now.
Bug fixes and balancing updates are most likely to occur before December.

Improved UI - Improved Control Scheme – Revised controls which speeds up the building process. - Multi-Select/Edit – Users can select and manipulate up to 64 individual objects at one time (more if combined with Groups) - Free Camera – The camera no longer snaps to objects being edited. - Grid/Rotation Snaps – Switch between multiple grid/rotation snap settings quickly to help align objects perfectly with each other. - Precision Editing – Precision editing returns to enable fine tuning of object placement. - Smart Magnets – Magnets no longer snap objects while moving them around. Instead they draw connection lines between magnets that will snap when the input is released. - Grouping – Groups can be created dynamically with a single button press. - Welding – Grouped objects can optionally be welded to their “parent” object. This allows them to all physically move around together; make a soccer ball with traffic cone spikes that rolls around, or attach a weapon pad to a larger animating object. - 1600+ Objects - Projected Terrain Pieces – Objects change textures depending on locations - Multi-Budget System - Higher Object Count - Soft Budgets – Some budgets are “soft” meaning they can be exceeded but will cause visual artifacts/anomalies. - Three forge canvases - Glacier (Snow Map), Space (Name TBD, but it’s in space), Alpine (A plains map, Orion and Pegasus is made on this map) - 100+ colours - Primary, Secondary and tertiary customisation. - Scripting *- Nearly all items can be scripted to change colours or what not depending on in game actions.*Req Packs
