forge is going to be awsome!!!!!!! if you think about it not only does it eliminate the need for mods also it eliminates the need for superjumps because you just become a moniter fly where you want to go and turn in to a spartan. also for the people wondering the goal and player spawns are flag,king of the kill, and vip places. also forge can have 4 person split screen on one xbox. thanks for the update bungie cant wait till the 25th!!!!!!!!!!!! :]

I like to knit sweaters.....and by knit I mean PUNCH....and by sweaters I mean babies.

Macgyver can build an airplane out of gum and paper clips, but Evil One can kill him and take it.

I thought is was strange to say that, but I didn't get it. What does he mean about the hard drive being removed?

this paragraph makes me laugh for no apparent reason.

Hit Done, and your map is now saved to your storage device of choice. Which is a hard drive, right? Right! Good choice, sir. But a memory unit will work too, if for some strange reason you removed your hard drive. But who would remove their hard drive? That doesn’t make any sense.

is there some sort of secret meaning aimed at a certain person in this paragraph?

YES! YES! YES! I was so worried you wouldn't be able to save them and have to start from scratch every time! Thank you Bungie!!!

It is too bad though that this, sadly, is the last update.
(in case you don't know, penultimate means second to last, and it was said that the last one was the penultimate one, so therefore this is the..last)
Of course, I cant wait to see if I can make a super mega explosion of a vehicle I am in into the sky. I would put an indestructable vehicle on a giant pile of fusion cores, other vehicles, and more, throw down a plasma, get in, and wow!

I have a question.
If I have 7 other friends playing in Forge with me. And the spending limit is $1750. Does that mean each player gets $1750? Or do we all have to share the money?

You're not the only one. Must be a hardcore Halo fanboy inside Joke from a weekly update from a month or two ago. I was called dull one for not getting it ??


Edit: Maybe something to do with RROD. HA HA

When your 360 dies, you have to remove the hard drive before you send it to the factory

RROD = red ring of death

6 Days 22 hours 5 minutes

I hope that forge can be done splitscreen because I really want to flatten my mate as the monitor!!!!!

If you're swimming in a creek, and an eel bites your feet - that's a moray.

Two questions (one a repeat, and somewhat rhetorical at that) and a statement:

1) (Assumed "yes" and "yes") Is a map's budget communal (that is, do all participants spend from the same coffers)? Also, do destroyed (read: not deleted) items return their value to the map's balance?

2) To play a forged map as a custom game, do all participants need to have downloaded the same variant, or only the party leader?

and finally...

I hate waiting.

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

Great tutorial! Please don't forget any of the "More on that later" parts. We must hear all!

Thanks!

That's why they make sequels, because they have ideas left over.

It wasn't all that funny but it was kinda ironic that someone's 360 might be dead for Halo 3.

Anyway, if Bungie was a woman, I'd marry her... or -blam!- her... i dunno. Lawl jk. Awesome update guys, I'm aching to use Forge.

Also, I keep hearing tidbits on this "Mission Recorder" So i have some questions: Can you record entire campaign missions? can you upload said videos to your external computer HDD and watch them there? Man theres so many questions to be answered in one freakin' week!
