Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Holy crap that update was huge...

Thanks for all the vicious detail.

OMG This was an awesome update. Thank you Bungie! I love huge maps with vehicles, I love Forge. This looks so awesome I'm going to explode like a newb hit with a plasma. Well done!

Love, Me

Time to kick ass and chew bubblegum...And I'm all out of gum.

Just read the update, and something bothers me, so I juste have one question : is Forge 2.0 meant to be used only on Forge World, or can we still edit the other maps of the game ?

Wow! Thanks for all the hard work it looks incredible! Now going radio silent......

I highly doubt I'm the only one thinking 53 days is still too long a wait. Reach is going to be known as one of the best, if not flat-out THE best, shooters of all time.

I had some questions, and while I dunno for sure if this is the best place to ask them I had a hunch if I posted them here they might get looked at. If anyone knows a better place for these message me and I'll move them...

1) We saw in the ViDoc that you can make a Warthog a movable hill of KOTH. Can we apply the same concept to other objects for other gametypes? What other objects? Gametypes? I believe there was mention that you couldn't turn the Warthog into the bomb for Assault, but what about something like making a CtF futbol (soccer) map? Where instead of a specific point you have to return the "flag" (which would be a soccer ball) to, you have score zones (the goals)?
2) We'll be able to customize our own Invasion maps in Forge World right? Firefight maps?
3) Speaking of Firefight, exactly how in-depth can we go with skull customization? Could we go so far as to make a "Randomizer" skull that when active, makes the enemies that appear random?

I hope that reach would come out before september

Rely on no one.

I copied this into Microsoft Word for the helluv-it, and it's over 50 pages and 16000 words long!

That said, it was a great update guys - not entirely sure what can fill the void of the next 52 days without giving away major parts of the game though...

  • 07.26.2010 2:44 PM PDT

Register at your local Vault Tec office today! The world might not be there tomorrow...

My eyes are bleeding... but thank you guys for taking my input and adding forklifts as usable vehicles this time around! YAY!

Sorry to pester you guys about it, but for those who haven't driven a forklift in real life... it can be pretty fun. You even called it forky! So, can you actually move crates with them? It might be pretty handy to build a fortress with them in-game...

I wonder if you could use your forge maps in firefight that would be an interesting combination.

Ok.. looking good.. I didnt see it asked there... Im just thinking. can you get object 1 to phase into object 2 but have it sold against object 3. Another way of wording is, once a phased object has been "dropped" does it become solid again?

of course it becomes solid again because if it doesnt itll fall through the map

did you fix how when you accidentally bump an object into another it moves the object you hit if not does it still cause the object you hit to disapear then respawn

They just said in the update that they fixed almost everything that was wrong with forge in H3 including that one.......Seriously guys dont b so stupid

  • 07.26.2010 5:07 PM PDT

I have lots of quetions:

First- is that annoying save error in H3 fixed in reach?
2- Can you play firefight on custom maps? Please?
3- Can the forklift raise/lower its two prongs?
4- Can we please get some sort of matchmaking system to test out public maps? that would be AWESOME!!
5- Is there any tool to help us level placed surfaces, so when you make a floor to a map it won't be bumpy and such?
6- Please tell me our campaign character isn't gonna be a silent character like in ODST?
7- Can forge 2.0 get ANY sweeter? I honestly didn't think H3 forge was that hard, and i've made some insane stuff- never even thought you could iimprove it. I feel like its christmas morning 10 years ago- and the game doesn't even come out for a month and a half!!!!!

Also, I know you can't make items "despawn"- but is there a way to open up areas of the map like,say, in Invasion? Of course, thats assuming we can make invasion maps...

look on the controller
you got your
jump( A )
melee( RB ) whitch is pretty -blam!- up
pickup or swap weapons ( X )
enter vehicle ( Y )
move ( left thumstick )
look ( RIGHT THUMSTICK )
move ( D-pad )
armor ability ( LB )
look at score ( SELECT }
swap grendande ( B ) witch is pretty -blam!- up

all im saying while there still twiking halo reach thet need to change d-pad moving whith d- pad right take whitch they already have it when you go of line press down on thu d-pad and your weapon is lowerd to mak it easier to make a mashimina , why dont they make it esier too make bull-blam!- kills with a shoty or sword alot eiser to prevint on you or someone else imeen come on guys its a great idea if you think about it.






whitch is stupid in thu first place and put the take button in . tap too take hold down to swap weapons like you do to mearines in halo 3 and odst but only take them and swap them . do you sweet and awsome that would be im meen that will take machmaking and mashimina to a hole new level it would be awsome taking another weapon from someone about ready to shoot shoot you with a shoygun that would be so cool and take alot of realf off of yur shoulders for all you shotgun and sword noobs and you know thats cool now that you think of it right.besides wen your offline you press down on thu d-pad and your wapon is lowerd now thats awsome too for all you mashimina fans .wy wouldnt it be cool to take and your weapons with another friend or foe imm een you want sniper they can just give it to you or you can just take it from them but that would be -blam!- up but funny for all u sniper fans , you tired of getting sworded or shotyed just take it form them sword them or shoot them t-bag them then walk away, agian for all of those shotgun and sword noobs.its just that smple and that cool . just tryn too take up for an idea.[/quot.
