I assume that only the default weapons and vehicles is gonna be available in Forge. But it would be awesome if all the weapons and vehicles you have unlocked ones through REQ Packs is possible to be used and placed in maps with Forge.
Considering how incredibly different (especially) the power weapon variants are, and how they and the vehicles are single-use cards, it would be absolutely insane to not let people actually try them all and understand how they work.
There’s also massive potential for interesting custom games with some of those variants.
I’d be quite disappointing if they didn’t. Lot of interesting ideas and variation in games can be achieved if we were allowed.
Considering how divided the core game experience is from Warzone, and the fact that nothing in Warzone is related to forge, I highly doubt all the variants will be usable anywhere outside Warzone.
Warzone’s primary means of attracting players is being a sandbox where you can play with all the cool stuff you’ve unlocked. If they allowed you to stay “home alone” inside forge/ customs and just experiment with your toys to your hearts content, it would completely devalue the REQ system and Warzone would get old quick. So I think to preserve the whole bells and whistles aspect of Warzone, they will purposefully keep REQ items out of Forge.
There is always the possibility that they will not be available, but I REALLY hope that is not the case! Having different variations of weapons and vehicles will make custom games so much more entertaining than they already are!

Would have to disagree, there are times I really enjoy unlocking things in games just to use them on my own and blow stuff up. Great stress-reliever.

Doesn’t that mean you agree with me? I’m saying many people would rather experiment in the safety of their own custom game instead of risking spending their Legendary REQ card in a public match only to get sniped immediately, which is what you just described. That means less people would play Warzone, therefore that would not be in 343s best interest.
As much as I want it to happen, part of me thinks that having all the warzone weapons/vehicles in Forge/customs removes value from them being rare high cost items in Warzone. But at the ends of the day, having them in customs would be potentially more beneficial in the long run then keeping them warzone-exclusive in order keep the Req system meaningful and functional… But Req is going to be so crucial to Halo 5’s longevity that I want all those rare cards to have meaning ya know? Anything that could potentially detract from the success of Warzone and Req system seems like a bad thing at this point. But who knows.
If not all weapons and vehicles can be unlocked for Forge, there should at least be a selection of Warzone weapons and vehicles we can use instead of just the Default ones imo.
Josh Holmes did say we would see forge before release. And he did say it would be significantly improved. I’m going a step further and hoping to make our own variants in forge.

Well there is a prophets’ bane on Truth so maybe we can get the legendary ones.
Considering the Prophets Bane is on Truth, they probably placed it on that map through Forge. So hopefully we can spawn all variants of the Weapons and Vehicles, I’m also hoping we can access all of the armor through custom games/forge only for machinima making. I know in Halo Online we’re able to spawn all the custom weapons so that’s got me optimistic.
This would be simply amazing for people doing machinimas!

My thoughts exactly.
I think all variants of vehicles and weapons will be forgeable.

I don’t think REQ should be unlocked in Forge (I mean variants should be in Forge, but they have to be all unlocked already, because if they aren’t, then it will cause problems for map sharing, since other players may not have unlocked these variants.) it’s either everything avaible, or nothing.

Indeed, and I read today (I forgot where though) that it was the biggest evolution since the first iteration of Forge!! They are giving us a forge info next week, Josh Holmes said that on Twitter.
I swear I just read recently that you could use them in custom games. Let me try and find it.

So did you find it?
