so
why are the controls for halo 5 forge so needlessly complicated.
I am an experienced forger. ive been forging maps since halo 3 (longer then most of the cartographers probably)
these controls are not intuitive in the slightest
theyre different yes , am i upset because theyre different? NO
i am upset because they demand too much precision? YES
alot of times i dont know what im building
i just want to toss stuff across the map and see what i come up with and work from there
forging is an art. to make art i need to go where my creativity takes me, i cant go where my creativity takes me if i need to press 10 buttons to place a warthog on the ground.
release an option to allow players to use the classic controls , dont care if the selection function is hard to access , just give me a LESS precision please
this is a poll to see where all the players heads are at with the new controls.
Coming from someone who is not an experienced forger, the controls are way easier and make sense from a creative stand point. Perhaps thats what they were going for, simplicity over familiarity. This way anyone can make maps.
Same here, I find then simple as a non-forger. Maybe you just need to use them for more than a couple hours before you declare your verdict?..or would that make sense?

I cant see how the new controls are at all easy , in the previous halo it was
-look at object,
-press A to grab
-move around as a wish with object just by using the 2 thumbsticks/LB/RB
-press X to edit
-hold RT while moving the right analog stick to rotate object
-press A to release
done.
now i need too
-look at object
-press RB to select
-hold RT too move the object left right forward and backward
-hold LT too rotate the object
-press A too move the object down
-press B too move the object up
-LB too deselect object

I had a non forger test both halo 4 controls and halo 5 controls****they claimed that "halo 4 controls are much easier and simple to -Yoink- around with as someone who doesnt forge on a regular"

its really not. the controls should be
select and deselect too [A] and fly/move vertically too [Lb] and [RB] RT can remain the same LT can remain the same the rest can remain the same thats it
The new controls are too precise, I agree. I’d like an option to switch between control schemes. I don’t like that when you select an object from the menu and place it it doesn’t move with your camera. Having to hold LT and move around feels clunky to me. I’d much rather use only the stick to move it around. And I didn’t look very hard cause I about threw my controller at my monitor but I couldn’t find the option to move an object by its X, Y and Z positions. If someone has found that option please let me know.
I’ll come back to forge when either they fix this or when Halo Reach gets backwards compatibility.

seriously. i cant even move vertically while looking around!
what i am saying is
in order to fly up and down i need to press A or B
this moves my thumb from the joy stick to look around , unless i hold the control in an uncomfortable fashion which i shouldnt have to do. this is not intuitive its clunky and slow****and forcing me to adapt

I did. Your 2nd text box, 2nd line aligns with my view.

youre fine, glad we have the same thing in mind. i just finished messing around with forge , i have the controls down pack no problem , theyre just too much and too accurate.
