Halo Infinite Forge Mode looking awesome!

• Scaling of both players and weapons
• Can customize lighting on custom maps
• Object Welding
• Can create/customize vehicles /customize weapon functionality
• Can shape and edit terrain/ scaling
• New scripting engine
• custom equipment items
• Custom Power-ups
• Working portals
• A ton of textures/colors/wall types
• Lots of pre set maps to work in
• (has completely empty map option for blank canvas)

This looks like its shaping up to be the ultimate Forge for Halo.

People have gotten access to it now early and the options and tools its providing seem to be miles ahead of anything we have seen from Forge in the pass.

Good news too it seems 343 is going to make uploading and sharing content a priority to make sure its streamlined and accessible.

Really looking forward to seeing what fans come up with, lots of new tools to mess around with. Its looking really good.

But its made by 343i sooooooo. Yeaa.

@hardwenzen: what's been shown is 1000% better than what forge has offered in the past.

Dude remade a Silent Hill level. Looks awesome.

As Halo Infinite continues to release in delayed chunks, players have discovered a way to access an unfinished version of Forge(opens in new tab) mode in the latest co-op campaign test flight. Some players have apparently had access to Forge tools for weeks and one in particular is already making some really impressive stuff.

May I introduce you to: the Silent Hills P.T. demo's iconic hallway, created by Forge-er and cosplayer Death Templar(opens in new tab).

I'm immediately impressed by how well Templar has captured the mood of P.T. inside Halo's engine. I think it's how the harsh white lights bake over the blank white drywall that sells it for me. I'm used to thinking of Forge in terms of Halo 3, where all you could really do was move prefab metal and concrete pieces around and spawn vehicles wherever you want. Halo 5 kicked things up a notch with sophisticated logic tools. Now, it's apparently not that hard to delve outside Halo's aesthetic entirely and make a horror house with custom lighting, framed pictures, and sound effects. Forge has certainly grown up.

Too late, 343.

And nobody has confirmed that its functional and without any issues, the main "feature" 343i loves so dearly.

Very ambitious by 343. I'm impressed. Game Changer.

Their "new" engine was supposed to be just that. Look how it turned out.

@hardwenzen: infinites engine accomplishes what it needs to do. Going to make for a fun sandbox with forge. Halo is MP focused and the engine works for what Halo needs.

what it has accomplished, any engine could have. Incredibly outdated engine.

Looking amazing. I hope they bring out some sort of halo tower defense. Those are always super popular.

tower of power was lit in Halo 2 and we didn't even have forge yet!

Im sure they will have several tower defense game modes/maps with this new forge

People can do so much crazy shit with the tools they are showing on this. I'm officially hyped for it.

The graphics look 2 gens back, but I'm glad that lems have a building sim to play .

I moved on from that game. They took way to long to add more content for multiplayer.

Everyone moved on from that game. From an Live Service game it became an Offline Service game.

@sargentd: yeah, personally I prefer the over the top view for td games. Hopefully these guys can figure it out. Lots of exciting things happening in the halo scene though. I'm likely going to revisit it when the coop drops.

Halo infinite SW most talked about game ever!

9 out of 10 and 87 metacritic and there's not a damn thing you can do about it🤣

Wow this looks great! Can’t wait to check it out! Thank you Phil!

Hey, that looks superb!

But I fear the damage has already been done. Will Halo Infinite be able to get back the players it has lost?

Lol….I see the salted cow jerkies are out in force.

Halo….the gift that keeps on giving.

Very good stuff. Probably won’t be creating much myself but I do look forward to seeing what those in the community make up.

This feels like a day late and a dollar short in my book plus it doesn't really solve the biggest problems facing Infinite.

Community made content is great but I've always been more about the multi-player versus action, ranking up, and all that over doing community maps and modes. The lack of official maps for ranked playlists, the desync issues, major focus on store bought cosmetics, and other such things still exist even if this beta hits.

I'll probably redownload and check out Forge once it releases but I doubt that's gonna be what gets me back to playing regularly and staying up late with friends with that "just one more match" mentality where you're never satisfied with ending on a win or a loss.

This looks awesome

Very late in the day but worth a try, hope it plays as good as it looks.

As usual those that mock it are those that haven't even played Infinite at all.

Funny how they use youtube videos to slate the game and then dismiss people when they express how its looking good from a youtube video.

So... It'll be better than GT7 and HFW?

I don't know how to say this, but nobody cares about Infinite, bro. Lots of people care about GT7 and Sony's AssCreed.

Gift? More like a throw away, dude.

@hardwenzen: Damn, dude. First to reply? I figured your Halo obsession would have waned, kinda like support for PS games. Yet, here we are, 9 months after release, and you're still Halo obsessed...

Only 9 months? You might want to redo your calculations

Of course they do, there's no alternatives. :-S

@dabear: he's been hating on it long before it launched. It just intensified post launch. I'm sure he'll stop talking about it in 3 years or so. Then again, im still trashing tlou2 and Belden ring.

Alternative to exclusives? You're right, nothing that can replace them.

Some of the forge stuff I tried in halo 5 in the past was pretty awesome. I can't wait to play whatever is created by forgers in 5.

@hardwenzen: Strange then, that even you couldn’t be bothered to buy them. No wonder sales of ps5 exclusive games are tanking if even it’s biggest fanboy prefers 3rd party games.

They still have millions playing on Xbox so they don’t need to bring back a whole lot.

There are way more third party devs than first party ones, so how does one prefer exclusives when there's a much higher chance of a quality third party title when its like a 30:1 game releases?

@hardwenzen: You’re asking that Just after you insisted that there is no alternative to exclusives, and nothing can replace them?

Jeez, that’s some serious self ownage there.

First party is important to sell the system. Third party is important to have as many quality titles as possible. Xbox headset sux.

Xbox headset is a great headset.

If its your first piece of audio equipment that you've ever used, yes.

The wizards at 343i just keep delivering the AwesomeSauce goods.

Just imagine another 9 years of free upgrades and DLC. :D

Yikes, will Halo: Infinite go down in history as the all time GOAT of GOATS?

Phil, MC, and Craig, have no doubts. lol :P

Ain’t this the case for both ps5 and xsx/xss games?

2 years for Halo Infinite to be complete. Great job Xbox.🤣

Not really. Exclusives are the only thing Sony has to attract gamers over other platforms. Xbox has Gamepass, and Nintendo‘s exclusives sell like crazy. Xbox hasn’t gone down the exclusive route, so more people can play those games.

That looks quite good. Let's see if it isn't too little too late, but as of now, it's looking good.

@madsnakehhh: yep it looks fantastic. Xbox just keeper winning

I understand its a hard pill to swallow, but it needs to be done, you have to have anything else but a shitty pair of Turtle Beaches sold for $49.99 before you can understand what's good audio.

Not winning at all in the slightest at anything ... but it's good for Halo fans.
