OH TO THE EM TO THE GEE!

I didn't expect to hear anything about this anytime soon, but I never thought that it would be this amazing. Bungie has done it again.

  • 07.23.2010 9:18 AM PDT

:?D Although you may not know me yet, you will soon. I want to be famous for making forge maps or inventing something new on halo. I want to work for bungie and get payed to play. I want to be known for doing something and be talked about. I will be one of the best forgers ever. Eventually.

so pergatory? white until you pick stuff like landscape and skyboxes? -blam!- YEAH!!

The vidoc is oh so awesome, but why isn't that cool concept art used from this news story available in the Reach project page yet? I want to use it as my new desktop background! =(

That's quality, Bungie. I've nothing to say other than: Thank You.

Awesome forge is awesome.

I am really excited but also wondering one thing. Can the map creator place invisible boundaries?

Lets say I wanted to create an ascension map complete with banshee but didn't want a player to be able to fly over to the blood gulch side, is there a way to limit that movement? Or if I wanted to create an assault game in blood gulch with a banshee but didn't want some jerk to be able to fly the bomb way the hell across the map and make the game tedious and annoying (think headlong assault where players would bring the bomb on top of the buildings).

That is my only question/hope/concern/miscellaneous comment. Guess we'll find out more in the update. Other than that, all I have to say is wow.


I've seen a few people ask this now.
Under Spawning you'll have various types of boundary volumes for this sort of thing. Cheers!

A few more questions, are there mutliple types of boundaries you can place? Such as instant kill boundaries, boundaries that are basically a huge wall, boundaries where you can leave for a certain amount of time, etc? And can you change the visibility of the boundaries?

I know it's a lot of questions, but I would much appreciate some clarification.

the phased forge setting will be so helpful! Now i might be able to actual build something awesome ,because in halo3 i suck at it!!!! Bungie i think i can say we all love you even more now

It's a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder.

This is the forge. Your mind will be blown. Resistance is futile.

  • 07.23.2010 10:00 AM PDT

Thank God I'm an atheist.

Seriously, Bungie are the best game developers hands down. This kind of thing won't be happening in other console games for a good 3 years at least. Judging by the step up of Forging quality from the shipped maps on Halo 3 to when Foundry was released, and from that to when Sandbox was released, the maps being produced were insane. Racetracks, obstacle courses, mazes, competitive maps and other random gems made people stick with Halo and keep on finding great maps in the community and exposing them to the rest of the world. Bungie favourites was the easiest way to find these maps but with the new tag system, there will be so much more great content to go around. Even what Bungie have shown us looks amazing, so I can't wait to see what the truly creative Forgers do with it.

Going out with a bang indeed! Bungie <3 they make what the target market want to see :)

I'll get you Recon Armor, I promise.

Don't make a girl a promise... if you know you can't keep it.

This all looks amazing. The fixed and phasing and ESPECIALLY the way you can lock in angles are all the things that Forge needed to become truly great. I only have one concern...

Will there be some way to set a "minimum elevation barrier" or something along those lines, so that if a player falls beneath it they die. It just seems to me that without such a thing it would be more difficult to make a map designed to be played exclusively atop the cliffs (like Ascension) work well. Of course, if I know Bungie I imagine that they already have this covered. I just thought it wouldn't hurt to point this out in the forum.

***EDIT***
I see now that a Bungie employee just answered a very similar question above. And of course my assumption that everything was under control was correct. Please excuse my gross ignorance of the forum above me and for ever harboring even a shadow of doubt of Bungie's power. I would also like to assert my desire to stay on the "Not to be fired into the sun by the giant catapult list." I <3 Bungie. This game just keeps looking better and better.

Sierra 173 - The Siegebreaker

So, I've been thinking about this. I mean, sure, this is pretty groundbreaking as we have a completely new beast that is Forge '2.0' so...well, I just have to say that this is completely -blam!- awesome.

Really. They basically gave us the ability to remake ANY map we want that doesn't require specific ground terrain. The IGN video as well as the Bungie ViDoc proved that.

Also, BABA27 the IGN video of Forge said that you can set up death barriers. They're a lot like the Battlefield games where if you don't return in 10 seconds, you are killed.

  • 07.23.2010 10:26 AM PDT

this forge, will be AMAZING!!!!!! im showing all my friends this video and i was thinking, the D-pad isn't used for much except to go into the forge flying mode. what if you made the unused keys on the D-Pad a hotkey for angel, objects height, ect.... making forging alot easier for some player. since forge is getting a little more "complicated" with the angels that you can use, the height tool. i believe that this would be a great tool! just a sugestion :) i have many more that i cant think of right now but yea..... I LOVE BUNGIE! :D and this video :p i cannot wait for REACH!!! :D

  • 07.23.2010 10:29 AM PDT

This is my first post so I hope I did this right...

I'm assuming that there is a kill zone under the water (and if there isn't then under water battles FTW) then my idea for a new game type is speed boats! Just like race tracks except using objects has boats. (Aerial races would be pretty *beep*ing awesome too.)

This will officially be the greatest game EVAR. Seriously I didn't think I could get more hyped for a game than I was with Halo 2 and 3, but you guys are really doing an amazing job of it.... and are doing it with genuinely amazing content and not just cool marketing. All these new features are just awesome looking!

  • 07.23.2010 11:02 AM PDT

Dont be shy...
Im sorry for my coup changes but Im new at this.

i cant wait
