As title says what are you looking forward to in Forge in whether you are making something or the community does?
Gorilla Tag but it’s Infection with Spartans and unlimited grapple, melee kills only, no weapons
Also I just want good BTB maps with vehicles at base
Obviously classic customs like Fatkid, Jenga, Speed Halo, Jump Rope, etc need to be made too, but I’m somewhat concerned that the Gravity Hammer won’t be able to act the way it did in older Halo games
I need someone to recreate Beaver Creek.
For myself I’m going straight into scripting;
-
A handicapping game where points are the KD of your opponent (times 10) and you spawn with an OS if your KD is less than 1. Something like (1-KD) * 60 seconds
-
Juggernaut…
-
Headhunter.
-
A mongoose jousting game where your start at opposing ends of a narrow rectangular map and have 10 seconds to get the other end. If you make it you have a few seconds to turn around and go again.
-
Vehicle fiesta.
Is this like Chicken, or do we have a second player on our team on the back of the Mongoose with a sword trying to kill the driver?
Haven’t played Chicken… so don’t know.
Ideally I’d like a mixture of vehicles for each round. Mixture of mongeese, hogs, and passenger weapons. Slowly rank up the options.
You have a few seconds each round to grab a weapon and a seat.
But I do like the idea of a sword on the back of a mongoose. That would be cool.
I really hope they bring the gravity hammer in line like how the old games were.
Number 4 sounds interesting!
Chicken is just when 2 vehicles speed towards each other, and the one that steers away from crashing is a chicken. In Halo, you’d probably never have someone steer away, but ideally you’d want to push the other person off, similar to Destruction Derby, but with a floating drag strip instead. The only reason someone would dodge a head-on collision with another vehicle in Halo, is if their vehicle is already smoking and they know they will blow up
Flushed and Trash Compactor, and with collision turned on please and thank you.
But knowing the hippy creator community, we’re gonna see like 50 different 1 Lane CTF maps instead. You know the ones they name Desert Bus without actually having a Desert.
I’m not looking forward to anything. I’ll wait and see what they actually did.
I created a few maps with Halo Reach, but H5 had some issues with lighting with the blocks that drove me nuts that I gave up on creating maps.
I’m hoping for Backrooms.
I’m looking forward to forge. We should hopefully have some crazy maps judging from the forge “preview” leaks.
Trash compactor is so much fun!
I actually love Desert Bus. It’s the best worst BTB CTF. I played countless hours for years of Blood Gulch BTB CTF so it doesn’t get boring for me at all. I played a couple of maps that are a lot more creative with the road shapes and bases, including modded vehicles like the Scorpion Hog, but I’m equally fine playing the one straight lane versions for hours.
In case for some reason people have no idea why it’s called Desert Bus, it’s based on an awful old game where you drive a bus for countless hours on a straight road across the desert. This madman turned the idea into a Halo 2 CTF mod. The mod was so stupid that people loved it enough to make it in MCC, but of course you can’t make the road an hour drive long, so it’s as big as it can possibly be in Reach Forge World.

Oh. And I’m going to recreate the infamous tag’n bag game type from H5.
That was awesome.
Adding to this, when CGB came to MCC there were like 10 different interations of the same 1 lane CTF mode until it slowly declined to the most popular 2 on Reach, 1 Bridge on H3 and now Desert Bus on H2A.
None of these are hour long drives like the OG H2 mod tho, which is the main reason why I’m not too thrilled with them, cos the novelty is just gone.
Not sure hour long drives would be popular anyway, but for me, it’s just BTB Castle Wars but with guns and all kinds of vehicles. A more chaotic Castle Wars, and I love Castle Wars CTF, especially the Halo Online and Halo 5 versions with the much better Forge editors. I hope Infinite has the best Forge ever, because I’m up for ANY kind of BTB CTF that isn’t the 343 no vehicles at base Big Team Arena trash
Honestly? A new base for my friends and I to be in.
That’s awesome to know. Thanks for the backstory! ![]()
That’s great to hear!
