I am not all the excited since 343 in it’s infinite wisdom will “NOT” have a custom game browser when forge is released. THAT REALLY SUCKS!!!.
Now they did say the Custom Games Area will be fixed. Well I will be testing it very MUCH!!! We will see if they fixed it or not.
Update: Guess what It’s still Broken as of Nov. 8, 2022!!! Looks like I will be playing Halo MCC and Battlefield 2042 more than Halo Infinite!
Now the “FORGE BETA” will be out also. My question is WHY IN THE HELL IS IT A BETA!!! REALLY!?? 343 has had a year to find out if it works or not. Unreaking Believable!!
Well tomorrow we all will find out for sure if it is a flop or a good update!
Yeah, they mentioned why they considered it a Beta still.
“When do you think you’ll consider Forge out of Beta? Is it based on performance or the amount of content in the mode?”
"For the most part, the Beta label means that we still want to apply more polish and bug fixing to some aspects of the experience in addition to seeing what new issues and opportunities may arise as we release Forge into the wild at massive scale. Forge is an incredibly robust and ambitious feature, and while the team has spent years developing and iterating on it, nothing can truly equal the level of feedback and data we’ll get from players around the world.
There is also some work that just missed the November 8 Forge launch that we’d like to add before we consider removing the Beta tag. There’s a lot to dig into here—exponentially more so than any prior Forge—but we have more we want to get to including functionality to allow editing on dev maps (at launch, the Forge Beta functionality is centered around the 6 shipping canvases), audio acoustic fidelity improvements, and of course more content (including additional palettes)."
Then new maps. A new game mode. Sandbox tinkering. Campaign Mission replay. Free battlepass. New XP and challenge system. Region selector. And hopefully some improvements to desync etc.
Look. I know not everything will stick theirlanding. And it’s frustrating that other stuff is still missing.
But why waste your emotional energy on the definition of “beta”. What’s the point of pinning the success or not of the update on one specific pivot point. It’s like some people just want a reason to stay angry.
Forge is gonna be great, but it’s not even remotely enough to bring the game back into the mainstream light. 343 probably should’ve waited until after MW2/WZ2’s hype died down before dropping ‘Infinite’s biggest content drop ever’—especially considering it’s still a fairly small update.
My understanding is that we’re aren’t going to have forge available on developer made maps until March, it’s only going to be available on the blank canvases. So that’s probably why it’s still a beta.
I’m exceptionally excited that i will get to live in Ranked and BTB instead of having to play a bunch of crud i have no interest in.
Yeah, that stinks since Behemoth could really use some tweaks. Mainly stuff like moving the vehicle spawns and placing some glass or shield walls snipers can’t dominate 80% of the map from a single tower.
There are so many people who think the “system” is holding them back. Truth is, it’s probably not.
As for the BR. I imagine the changes will be subtle - but it’s not going to stop people losing their mind when their first mid-long range encounter is lost.
Sounds like a job for Dr Pepper and Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs (best popcorn, ever).
I think it’ll be okay for the first week - then come week two we’ll start to see more uneven games than previous - especially with the local server select.
I’m sitting here playing a few games and seeing lots of 30% accuracy from my team… the best of luck to em for tomorrow!! Haha
Looks like I will be playing Halo MCC and Battlefield 2042 more than Halo Infinite!
