I got to say I’m very impressed with the settings. I like how you can basically turn off everything that’s new to this current trilogy including clamber and sprint. Not only can you turn off sprint, but you can even change it’s speed. This great for simulating previous Halos as well as great for many other new creations. I can’t wait to see what people will do with these on their Forge maps.
Now with that said, I know stuff is coming post launch like Forge and stuff, but I’m wondering why certain game modes didn’t at least ship with the game to be played with in Customs. Now when I say Custom Games, I mean private matches, not matchmaking playlists. I know game types will be added later, but after all those Halo 4 posts from H4’s launch about Custom Games getting butchered, I’m surprised that stuff wasn’t worked out before launch. I’m sure many people don’t read up on politics about the game so I can imagine many people being shocked by things like no Infection at least. I don’t play Infection much, but I’m worried about the Customs community being deserted by the time Forge launches. I also wish 343i put a big sticker or disclaimer on the game to let people know Forge is still coming. I’ve run into several people who thought Forge was gone for good and that worries me. I hope everything works out in the end.
Those are my current thoughts about all this. What are yours?
