To those of you who said Halo 5 forge is trash..

speaks for itsself… lol

Very well done, but the texture-less pieces look god-awful.

Pretty obvious that the textures look ugly when there are so many items in forge. If the graphics of forge were great, the whole game would crash. People are always complaining about everything…

most of this is made from blocks which have little to no texture theyre literally primitive shapes so its not gonna have textures Id say the fact that this can exist in halo 5 is a testament to how great it is.

i have been working on a caslte wars map , and im getting along nice now with the controls, but even so i enjoyed the originals more, the fx scripting are hard to figure out but ill be watching tutorials soon enough, the game needs a remove all items function, halo 4 had it and i miss it,

WHY CANT I FIND YOU 1% FX PEICE!!!

343 have remapped the controls which is pointless in my opinion. I loved forge, now m having to reacquaint myself with it. Also a few tutorials would be nice

We complain about things that deserve complaining.
The pieces are perfectly smooth and texture-less. This is unacceptable.
You can defend this all you want, but it just makes YOU look like the stubborn one.

People always complaining about everything? No, people always standing up for terrible lacks in quality for no reason. The 343 apologists kill me.

You can complain about features all you want but talking crap on others doesn’t make your point more valid than others. It’s called “matter of opinion”. One person likes sprint, the other doesn’t. Which one is in the wrong? None… You do have the ability to complain about an issue to you, but you don’t get to judge what is good and what isn’t for others. Insulting them then after acting like they know nothing of a halo game just makes you have even less credibility.

lets not go there right now k, don’t need a giant argument where a bunch of meme war people show in ya know.

anyway admittedly yes they could have made items look better, but that’s why we can color it, its their way of saying sorry we didn’t finish forge in time.
so they expected complaints on textures, believe me.

There are tutorials all over the Internet. The remapped controls allow for a ton of actions that weren’t possible in previous forge’s. It really doesn’t take that long to learn them.

I love the controls a lot more. Just go out and make a map keep at it. It’s literally the equillivant of a new piece of software. It takes time and practice. Also what the guy said above me. Try the Internet.

Part of the reason is that the forge community wanted bland pieces to avoid texture blending and meshing with multiple pieces, and 343 decided to make practically all the pieces without textures without including many textured pieces.

In terms of pure graphics technicality, textures rarely have any effect on performance. Assuming you have enough video memory, the performance impact of 2k to 4k textures would be negligible. The same goes for whatever lower resolution textures could be made for the forge pieces - the performance impact would probably be non existent.

However, the above is probably more true for GDDR5 memory considering it has a much higher bandwidth than the DDR3 used in the Xbox One.

forge mode on halo 5 will never live up to predecessor titles until they have a proper file share system again…

343 has said they’re working on file share.

It is coming…calm your -Yoink- :wink:

Forge is the one thing 343 nailed, it’s absolutely incredible what we are seeing and it hasn’t even been out that long

343 will do themselves a big favor by getting a community maps playlist(s) into matchmaking ASAP

what ton of actions are possible because fly up and down are mapped to A and B rather than LB and RB? All that does is make it difficult for a southpaw like me to move around.

That is 343’s slogan at this point…

This is by far the best Forge yet, 343 was right about that. I think that the blocks look fine in Forge, you’ve got to add texture yourself though.

Yup.
