The white forge pieces we saw were UNSC.
Oh? Been a while since I looked
Yeah, it was definitely human architecture. Pipes and everything.
Random guess: all 3 Forge maps have a common basic Forge World object set with different art for each piece on that map. So the Ravine is Reach FW objects, Humanland has those objects but with Human appearance, and
This would make the most sense, since by splitting the maps by theme grants you more RAM to fit the textures and models into, where if all 3 maps had the same appearance for the pieces there'd be no real point to making them separate maps.
I'd hope not, at least not until months after. You don't add maps just for the sake of it - quality, not quantity. Default Foundry and Sandbox were fairly bad and kind of made the rotation dull. Hopefully there's decent quality this go 'round and not just developer made maps built in Forge that aren't necessarily any good.
In Colossus, the middle bridge appeared for Slayer gametypes. Gone otherwise.
In Relic, the large ramps on the sides of the large structure appeared for Slayer. Were not included when 1-bomb and 1-flag were played.
Instead of interactive elements like that, they went the direction of shield doors and space sections. Delicious.

Dat "Press Start" menu on Halo 4. I'm so glad they ditched the Reach 2D menus.

Anyone from the UK who lives in Essex? If the answer is yes, you have the opportunity to play Halo 4 this Friday!

I cranked the shadows up for the second one, although I could go back and crank them up for the first one. I did it on a separate layer. Looks like a half finished Z-buffer by itself.
for shiggles:
For the life of me I can't find the screencap of that forge piece everyone is thinking about, nor can I remember which specific video it came out of.

Video: HaloGAF at PAX Prime 2012
No gameplay here, just five minutes of HaloGaffers goofing around during PAX. Enjoy!
That was great.

thanks
I would like a uncompressed render feature to PC more, then everything else.
Forge/rank/matchmaking news would be sweet right now.
I think the main thing I am most worried about now besides the usual
is how the game plays online. From what I have seen so far on LAN the game plays great, but playing great on LAN doesn't always equal playing great on LIVE.

Oh for FUCK sake, typical I'd be at uni while they do this.

Because resources duh!
I was looking for that the other day and couldn't find it either. What video was it from?Here it is. The very definitely Human version of Lockout's BR tower.
Edit: Was it a BTS clip?
According to the post I just found it from, RTX Wrapup Video
Does this means Lockout is back?
BYOL
Nilla's got this.

Hoping it's a day one file share map.
Hitscan BR, no armor abilities, no perks, no sprint (hopefully), would be so good.

It would be a Forge thing anyway, and would play like ass in Halo 4 because maps need to be at least 20 football fields in size now.
p much.
Know what I also got a moment ago?
They'd be silly to split the userbase on being able to use the Forge maps.
Well... then Anniversary happened.
Probably not day one but very soon after

Maybe the Lockout remake will show up in the playlist with no sprint, higher movement speed, no ordinance drops, no AAs, and no middle of the screen white text.
And all shortcuts are back (this time)
Does anyone have a time stamp for when they ask about Halo 2? I tried to look for it yesterday, but I didn't have enough time.

isn't 343 having cartographers work on maps before launch so we have some remakes/forge maps ready to go on day one? id be surprised if we don't get a day one small halo 2 arena map.

Isn't this called Halo 2?
That gif almost makes armor lock look cool... almost....
If I saw that happen in a game I would probably be freaking out for a few seconds lol
I wonder how Reach would have played with visible armor abilities. Sure, AL would sill needed to have been nerfed (shorten max duration to <2 seconds, lengthen cd and lock your camera seem like the best options to me) but you wouldn't have had people getting smashed up in Ghosts unless they were stupid, or people getting into mere battles with AL if they could avoid it, or people wasting rockets. All the AAs would have been a lot more about situation reading, although I'm not sure if this would have slowed down or sped up the game

I just found it right when you posted this, haha. Thanks though!
