I'm still a little confused by the filters, could ayone explain in detail, can I use them if I'm taking screens from a game on a map version which didn't originaly have the filters placed? Or do I have to set up a map with filters first before I can take cool screens, can I change the filter in Theater mode?


I would guess you place an object in forge for the effect you want and then you can play the map with that effect on. After you've finished your game you can save it with the cool affects. But unless bungie states otherwise there is no reason why we couldn't play zombies on ghost town with the gloomy filter on for extra atmosphere.

"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."

The way the filters work is that you place them on a map like any other forge object. After they are placed, any time you play any game type on that map variant (including your forge sessions or regular games) the camera takes on the appropriate effect.

So, yes, you could create a map variant where everyone was looking Old Timey while capturing the flag.

One question: could you use forge fillers to change the way the map looks during the game? So, could I toss some in in my forge map and people would look funky while playing Team Slayer?

the forge objects look very nice, especially Avalanche. The forge filters will be amazing for machinima makers everywhere, including me when I start mine.

That leads me to another question. Can you change the radius of the forge filter or does it automatically cover the map?

Holy crap. That is awesome.

I was really confused about how those things might work until I read your explanation. Now I am extremely excited about this map pack.

  • 04.04.2008 4:35 PM PDT

Omg, that filter looks soooo awesome, and I like the sound of the items that blend in, I hated how some of the forge object would look soooo weird on a certain map.

I had started a thread on the forums about added camera goodies...glad to see you guys are listening!!! The filters look really cool! Now you just need to add camera locking and we'll have crazy ass bullet and grenade POV vids!

Cant wait for the new maps!!

That's freaking awesome. This is a sweet item. I can't wait to use it.

And I'm guessing you guys took the Legendary DLC trailer with the "Gloomy" effect?

Dear God.

Just when we thought we knew everything about forge on the Heroic DLC, you throw us a curveball and it's headed at a bazillion miles an hour. I am going to enjoy forging oh so much more now, thanks bungie!

With these new objects and updates to old ones I...I don't know what to do. I am overjoyed by this. I look forward to the new DLC oh so much more.
