Halo: Reach - Forge World

Hey Halo fans, here is another post offering a video regarding Forge options for Halo: Reach. As person who loves nothing more than a custom map and a sick game type to enjoy on those Friday nights I was more than thrilled to watch this video - I hope you will be too. Forge was a big part of Halo 3, letting players create their own maps for multiplayer play. But it wasn't perfect, so for the upcoming Halo Reach, the developers at Bungie are reinventing the editor, crafting what's been dubbed Forge World. Forge World was revealed at the San Diego Comic-Con. It takes place in a massive open world, far bigger than even the biggest maps from any previous game. It consists of numerous regions, from wide open areas to tight indoor scenes. There's mountains, beaches, rocks, and even a small island offshore. In short, it's a big space to play in with lots of variety. But arguably just as impressive and important as the scope is the way Forge World lets players place objects. There are three different modes for placing objects: normal, fixed, and phased. In normal mode, objects will act just as they did in Halo 3, dropping to the ground and reacting in a realistic fashion. In fixed mode, objects can be left suspended in the air, allowing players to create structures in the sky. Phased mode allows players to actually merge objects together to create something new. Given some of the incredible creations that came out of the original Forge, it's hard not to get excited about seeing what players will be able to do with the new tools offered in Forge World. You can get an early glimpse of the editor in action in this short Bungie documentary.
