I just lost a ton of work because your -Yoink- servers went down… All other halos would just put you in local match if internet or servers went down so you don’t lose your work and can still forge… I am done… This is to much, I love that you gave forge a make over but we still don’t have forge world, just awful kill boundery maps, with limited space to forge, its not on…!
I am pissed about this too (especially cause my internet is spotty right now)
how much work have I lost because of a stupid design choice… Honestly the decision doesn’t even make sense.

Indeed, I could forgive the lack of forge world and poor textures but this is just not on, I love the controls, it speeds up work 10 fold once your used to them… But this has just made me not want to forge, i cant even get into forge been trying for about 20 mins now. I went back of reach today and went on forge world, i was still blown away, that was a 360 game
A few things. I completely agree with you on the internet thing.
However it’s xbox live servers, don’t blame 343. And your comment on forge made me cringe, are you actually saying we don’t have enough space to work with? Like seriously? Yea it’s no forge world but the maps are -Yoinking!- HUMONGOUS! I had to shrink the size of my BTB map about 5 times. Your spartan must be a -Yoinking!- giant if your saying the maps are too small.
And yes not enough space to work on does mean size because if it’s the terrain your talking about then you could edit it yourself.

not just that but Xbox live has been getting attacked lately and DDOSed. so people will end up loosing connection to the Xbox live servers which will as a result boot people from forge making them loose all their progress. and its going gt worse because a DDOS group said they are going to DDOS and bring xbox live down on Christmas.

When i say small, i don’t mean in space i mean in map… and the high map is awful as well, like the space map is not even Cube, like the boundary’s are so odd and be honest to yourself… You can’t use the map for forging what is the point of it, might as well be empty space for all of them, still 343’s problem for making it online only
All in all, I’m glad that this fiasco with XBL happened right after forge launched. Maybe now people won’t be so passive about developers arbitrarily walling off features behind an internet connection.
I don’t get why we can’t just have both, it’s been done before
I forgot to mention you can get banned for not moving in your own game of forge, lets say you go make a drink or talk of the phone ect ect
Did they ever say why you need to be online in order to use forge as opposed to be able to do it offline?

Nope not at all… if they say its to help performance i call BS and point to halo reach which had just as good graphics or better funny enough

And XBL Gold, at that.
Did really surprise you that forge was on a dedicated server? Everything else is and to be honest I don’t know why it’s so strictly like that. Until that’s sorted out: In the future, you’re going to have to treat Forge like a Bethesda game, quick save, quick save, quick save(though make sure that you already saved the map as something before or quick saving does nothing)

Well I guess its forge, its something you might like to play when your internet is down and or if you do get a drop in connections or like now their end go’s down, I don’t want to have to worry about saving all the time, its a pain, I just want to make maps and relax
I am not a forge guy. But this is a terrible design. Using forge when xbl is down seems like a no brainer.

I wouldn’t get your hopes up… I mean, look at the people on these forums DEFENDING the devs for releasing a game with so little content.
It seems people today now LIKE anti-consumer practices. It makes absolutely no sense at all to me.

Yea, there are a lot of things I like about the game, but I don’t let my love for halo keep me from pointing out the anti consumer practices I find unfair.
Isn’t it your own fault for not saving often? The whole game is designed around dedicated servers which makes it run as smoothly as it does. The only downside is when Xbox Live or the servers do mess up. So people need to be smart & save often.
looks like 343 did another great job breaking something what wasnt broken
