Why did 343 make forge so much more complicated

343 has made forge way more complicated
then it really needed to be its way more complicated to build structures in halo five then the other halo games

Forge is five time more complicated so we can create structures and maps that are fives time more complex.

It’s been 9 years since we first got Forge. This is a well needed and overdue update. The Forge Team at 343 has been amazing at working with the community to find out what they want and how they want Forge to work (and also giving us cool little surprises). This is the Forge we’ve been asking for. There’s nothing wrong with learning new things … in fact, it’s rather good for you :slight_smile:

I’m mean, I’m no Forger (I can’t even script), but a lot of my friends are. And we play customs a lot. I do build things for aesthetic purposes like screenshots, or take maps my friends made and, if needed, spruce them up with filters, effects, decals, plants, textures, etc. See?

Honestly, I am a pretty casual forger, it’s like learning to ride a bike though with the new forge mode.
The controls are vastly different but if you take the time to understand how it works, I think you’d agree how fantastic it is.

Not only that but the forge team have been absolutely excellent and the continuous support they have shown for the game!
Please do take the time to learn the mechanics and functions if you do intend to get into Halo 5’s forge, I promise you won’t regret it :slight_smile:

I just can’t wait for PC forge because then I can place things with a mouse and keyboard at least it will feel like a proper editor then and control won’t be an issue

They did it so you can create better maps.
