*Halo Forge Mode - No Need To Compare It To Anything*

This will be a short post. The Halo Forge Mode is basically a mini version of Garrys Mod that multiple people can fool around with at once. It is a great addition to the game. Neither this or a map-editor was expected or needed in the inclusion of the game.

The simple fact that it is there at all in any capacity is great and welcome.

People act as if this sucks because it's not a pure mapmaker/as deep as Garrys Mod/as extensive as LBP. None of that matters, it is there and it is cool and it didn't have to be there.

Bungie could've scrapped the whole idea at the drawing board but as usual they decided to cater to their highly loyal Bungie Nation.

Stop comparing this to LBP and just be happy that this great and surprising addition to Halo 3 is even there to begin with.

Spartan070 out.

Typical lemming. The first three threads I read about this were along the lines of "HALO FORGE MOD >>>>>>>>>> LBP", try not to spin it too much.

LOL...so basically your post is, they didnt have to have it, be happy with what you got. Thats what my mom used to tell me when she gave me liver and onions when I really wanted something else, heck anyting else. But unlike that example gamers are paying for the game, I got my forced fed liver and onions for free.

That was directed at "anti-Halo Forge" people.

This is directed at "uber-pro-Halo Forge" people.

LBP is a gimmick and will get old within one week, i promise. Halo 3 will last 4+ years, Maybe even more now with Forge

But people stop hating ang hyping Forge. We dont even know if its official and we only know a few details, for all we know it could be a lot more in-depth than gary's mod

Gurantee Halo 3 will AAA on GS now because of this tacked on, half-assed editor.

Okay, I seriously doubt this is going to be even remotely comparable to Garry's Mod OR Little Big Planet. Considering that's ALL those games are intended to do, is just give you sandbox and fool around with physics/model placement/etcetera, this isn't going to be revolutionary or anything.

I'd be totally cool with the idea if it was simply a level editor, but you're limited to manipulating objects, as I read in the post (correct me if I'm wrong) and that isn't even...anything, really.

Makes me sick seeing people brag about Halo's godlyness when millions of people have been playing the same FPSs for around 10 years already (CS, Tribes, UT, Half-Life, all better then Halo).

Wow, you are missing the point. This "example game" without this feature was already being pre-ordered by the millions and basically the most anticipated game of the decade. This feature, no matter how fleshed out, is all bonus, it's icing on the cake.

That's like saying is a game offers 10 armor color choices it's laughable because they could've given you more. What do you want? Every aspect of the game to be miles better than every other game in history? :roll:

I didn't say there were facts kid. If you think I did, listen to yourself. "LBP is a gimmick and will get old withing one week." Not only is that the stupidest opinion i've ever heard, it's far from being a fact. But my post was no different, so what's up man?

Manipulate and spawn objects is what it is, I hear. And that's while all your mates are having a deathmatch in the level, you and a couple of others if you wish messing around with the level, building barricades for them out of boxes for the Infection mode, dropping vehicles out of the sky for them to use, making it rain tanks on peoples heads, etc.

Really?

It has nothing to do with the entire series being in the top 20 all-time on Gamerankings?

It has nothing to do with 97% of ALL reviews being over 9/10?

It has nothing to do with the remote possibility that your opinions, no matter how much they apparently hold the universe together, just might not be the universal end-all truth?

It has nothing to do with the possibility that the series might actually be good?

Oh, just checking....

ah man. Yea i see how this could work in an official game mode. A team, half split up playing the infection mode, and the other half using forge helping their teamates and such. Hope thats how it is

It can't get AAA before Halo Forge. It has done nothing new. It will have a new single-player mode and that's it. It won't get AAA for a reanimated shot gun and a few new weapons and vehicles thrown into the same old multiplayer. The GS summary would have been something like this:

"Although it hasn't changed much from its predecessors, Halo 3 is arguable the best in the series, and a worthy end to a legendary series." The score would be something like 8.7.

Halo Forge will raise it to 9.0 and above.

That's there as well, up to 4 players simultaneously.

Way to point out the point of my post. It's rated high because it's the best console shooter. Read any review it will probably note on that. Do you really think if Halo was released for the PC only, anyone would give a s***? Look at Halo 2 for PC, 7.0. The godly Halo franchise goes PC and gets a 7.0. It was a 9.4 Xbox game, and when it went PC it didn't get a 9.0, an 8.6, or a 7.9. It got a 7.0. what does that tell you?

Personally i don't care abotu scores, but you wanted to use them to back up your argument so there you go.

If H3 is the best in the series, with Halo scoring a 9.7 and Halo 2 a 9.4, how will H3 only score an 8.7? Cause i know you've played the game and all.

Did you ever maybe think that Bungie has more tricks they are hiding from us?

My point is that Halo will sell becaue of Halo. Thats it, its not a revolutionary feature. Just like the armor example, it will add little to replay value. People hyping this feature are basically doing it because of the bad reception Halo 3 has gotten so far. If your happy for the feature, good for you, but braggin about this feature and comparing it to true level editors like Little Big Planet is pretty desperate.

Do you really think if Halo was released for the PC only, anyone would give a s***?

BTW, a HUGE reason Halo 2 Vista scored a 7.0 is because it's a 3 year old game that was originally built to run on a console with 64mb imbedded RAM. Aging probably had something to do with it....

So I see this has turned into yet another "HALO SUCKZ" "NO IT DUSNT!" argument..

Can anyone do something useful and help me out? I want to know if this has any confirmation to it. I don't see why Bungie would hide this from us, but the only "proof" (that I can find) is a forum post from a guy who won't post a scan..

GS review:

"PC users will get to experience the lackluster Halo 2 storyline"

"Halo 2 for Vista is a solid game that probably won't appeal to anyone who's played any recent high-profile PC shooters."

Sounds amazing, i think i'll go and get it.
