OMG this seems epic...
I have no idea what I am looking at or why this is such an awesome thing BUT user created stuff is always epic.

If any one want's to explain/shed light on this, then please do. I'm not a Halo-er so... yeah. Enjoy.

Whoa!

<--------- Goosebumps.

They are a wee bit late with this...Tribes and Tribes 2 loved doing this...but still pretty sweet.

As a long-time Garry's Mod player, I was really disappointed by the extreme limitations of Halo 3's Forge. This looks MUCH more interesting. The variety of terrain alone is a much-needed improvement.

Plus, the easier and more convenient you make it for users to create their own boards the more quality boards you end up getting. The new precision alignment is awesome without being (or at least appearing to be) a headache, and the phased terrain is a nice touch.I really feel like Bungie is pulling out all the stops on this one.

Bungie pretty much described Reach as their swan song.

I definitely can't wait to use this new one...trying to use forge in Halo 3 was just overall frusturating and somewhat unbearable.

Bungie at it's best!


Next month!

Not quite...it's Bungie's swan song for the Halo franchise. They inked a 10 year deal with Activision Blizzard so they'll still be putting out some awesome stuff. I'm curious if they still retain the rights to the Marathon franchise given how much of it's symbology ties in with Halo. In any case I'm looking forward to whatever freshness they release upon the world. It's kind of appropriate that Bungie's final title is Reach though. We all know what happens on Reach and it's a downer, it's like the Alamo...it's not the win or loss that matters, it's how you go out. And so it goes with Bungie, it's their last fight with Halo, but without a doubt it will be a valiant effort that people will talk about for ages.

Totally with you on that. I think that a lot would-be designers just go frustrated with the toolset and decided that it wasn't worth their time, no matter what kind of kickass level they had in mind.

I know BMike will be getting the pimped-out, cat-daddy, super-deluxe edition. I will be too...anyone else?

(The Collectors Edition for the new Assassin's Creed looks pretty cool too with the Jack-in-the-Box from hell)
