This is stupid.

What is the point of forge if you can't search for these kind of gametypes.

Yeah, I have read through the other forums looking for alternatives, but those user made websites to organize custom games suck. Why they didn't include a custom game search function is beyond me. I would happily pay 10 dollars for a custom game search to be included, but we all know they won't do that - it would make too much sense.

Thanks for the soccer ball. woo hoo.

I'm sorry, but this seems pointless to me. I see the novelty of it and for a small number of people this may prove to be fun, but there are other issues that should have been addressed first.

HOLY -blam!- I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY XBOX BACK! Ten bucks is SO gonna worth it. Thanks guys! This had better be in favorites or file share.
When I think of the soccer ball I think of the Scarab Gun... Which makes me think of Scarab gun soccer. But this will be so freaking awesome. Once again, thanks for outdoing yourselves!

Actually one could make the argument that it will make Europeans not happy due to the fact the nearly the rest of the world refers to a soccer ball as a football . haha, great add, it's hilariously awesome.

It sounds now as if we will have three maps that are worth playing. But only three.

What would be nice is if they had a tab to link you to games to play that are just crazy games like soccer. If it doesnt go over well just pull it from the list but I'm sure a lot of people would get into those game types. Would be hard for a lot of people to get big custom games going to do this.

Mistah Yoshi!!!

soccer is cool in all, but wouldn't be cooler for "SPARTAN VOLLEY BALL!!!!" muhahah!!! just imagine a bunch of dudes/girls on opposite sides with hammers all trying to keep up a giant soccer ball in the air while not accidentally betraying their own teammate while trying to score for the team haha!!!

and you can use grav lifts as the person who "sets" the ball up while another player uses it and "spikes" it down to their opposing side!!!

I AM A GENIUS!!!

CAN'T WAIT TO DL THIS MAP!!!

Sounds kinky,

Also, hearts for the SNL song reference in the article. Glad I caught that one. :)

thats great how about fixing melee and weapon problems in your game the way it stands at the moment? this way new maps released soon will be even better..just an idea.

Too bad there is not an option that would not make soccer honor rules based. Still, soccer will be first on my list of thing to make with foundry.

once again.......POINTLESS. Is that melee thingy fixed yet? Hate to bother you in the middle of your (insert laughter here) soccer game???? Just curious.

Halo 3 just became so much more then your average shooter... Thanks Bungie!!!

Is this FIFA or Halo? I love how they give more support to the sports part of this game than the shooting and melees. Do they not realize Forge is retarded w/ out Custom Games Search. If Bungie can't handle something so simple they need help. Almost every other game has this option and have done it succesfully. You don't need to include every option. Just pick the gametype and map then have the game list pop up which will show host, number of players and a few other options and it'll be fine.

Manicure your Friends List to only those people willing to play custom Halo 3 games and are on the same time as you. I haven't succeeded in accomplishing that yet. But the last week or so I've started actively managing my Friends List. Basically booting off my actual friends in favor of folks that want to play Halo 3 customs at the same time as me. Like I said, it's a work in progress, hasn't really payed off yet, but that's my plan. I'll considering it a success the day I log in to find 100 players playing Halo 3 customs games. So, you can do that right now.

Looking forward, I can't imagine why Bungie wouldn't one day have a playlist of some of the funnest user forged maps and games. But, if/when that does happen. I hope that after you and your mates play a game from that list the very next thing you do is download the map and game and start tailoring them to your preference together.

Halo 3 Forge is really an awesome thing in my opinion. My fondest game memories were trading user created maps for the original Doom. I don't think until Forge anything has matched the original Doom in a) ease of use to create new maps and b) breadth of players to enjoy them with in a competitive fun game.

Halo 3 Forge. That's it. That's where it is at. Halo 2 was all about the matchmaking and people BXR-ing instead of enjoying the damn game. Halo 3, my opinion, will be remembered for the Forge and the collaborative, community fun Forge brings back to gaming. Nothing against MLG type gaming, except it's not my thing. This Forge is totally my thing. I love it.


I have tried doing that also - doesn't work out.

I just don't understand why they couldn't make a search function for forged games. Something as simple as the player match function they have in Gears. I agree that forge is awesome. I have made some fun variations of maps myself. The tragedy is that they will never get played. I know I'm just repeating what I said earlier, so I'll stop (for now). I just think that it is a valid argument.

Forge = The Great Tragedy
