WARLOCK / WIZARD REMAKE

SANCTUARY

LOCKOUT

I hope we get a Midship now.

 

[ToyMachine228]

Already thinking of a Boarding action map! This time you can use jets to get across the level.

I've wanted a remake of Boarding Action for so long it's not funny. Like hearing about new vehicles! Downloading the Forge ViDoc now.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Find the Spartan in the high res image. Those curved platters on the upper left are each one half of Ascension's base bowl.

Found him. It was like Where's Waldo?

Got a kick out of the die he's near, too. :lol

 

[Schmitty]

Only 9 maps?

 

[Jin34]

2 things I got from this video is that we can make Super Halo Galaxy and Halo Kart

 

[kittens]

A free for all match that takes place over the entire island, with one life per player, would be awesome. A giant, epic, hours long hunt. It would take forever, but it'd be tense and fun. Well, maybe wouldn't be so fun once it got down to just two or three players... :lol

 

[RedSparrows]

Only 9 maps?

Forge World says hello?

 

[Hey You]

We can't de-spawn an item?

 

[GhaleonEB]

I can't remember where - I think in the last update - someone mentioned they made a Race variant that covered the entire map. I imagine it takes a while just to do one lap...:lol

 

[Butane123]

Once Sept. 14th hits, you will never see me again.

 

[DopeyFish]

i hope lockout, sanctuary and others are put in regular rotation right away... among others.

ninja edit: warlock can go die in a fire

ninja edit/pre-emptive strike: shut your mouth BR hogs er i mean DMR

 

[Shake Appeal]

Only 9 maps?

Yeah, this is pretty disappointing. I appreciate the endless blah blah possibilities of Forge World, but I don't want to spend all my time on the same Forerunner objects in the same lush Halo world.

Considering 'Reflection' is likely a full-blooded Ivory Tower remake and we played three of the other maps in the beta, there's not much to look forward to judging by that screen.

And it doesn't seem like Invasion is going to get much service. Is it even possible to set Invasion gametypes/objectives in Forge World?

Nurburgring Halo?

 

[-PXG-]

Jebus Crust.

Seriously. I don't need any other game. Reach is all I need.

 

[The Librarian]

Wasn't Spire described in a BWU? A huge structure in the middle that goes really high up.

 

[kittens]

I'm more excited for this than I ever thought I'd be. I absolutely love the physics of the Mongoose, and some of the courses they teased in the vidoc look too good to be true.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Wasn't Spire described in a BWU? A huge structure in the middle that goes really high up.

Yeah, it's the one they were doing daring Falcon escapes from the top of.

 

[neoism]

:/ to many fucking threads.... :/

 

[EazyB]

Didn't even see that there was a new thread. Multiple Halo threads in a single day SMH. Anyways, copying this from the old one:

Look at this Shake. "Object Color." Separate from Team.

So many options in here that we don't really know about.

Shape?

I couldn't make out what the nudge feature was about either.

 

[GhaleonEB]

I couldn't make out what the nudge feature was about either.

Click the stick to zoom in, and you move the object a tiny degree at a time.

 

[Ramirez]

I really doubt the maps shown on that list are every map in the game.

 

[Blueblur1]

Rocket Race with color-matching Mongeese now?

 

[urk]

Yeah, it's the one they were doing daring Falcon escapes from the top of.

The leap from the top of the Spire, Falcon or otherwise, makes my butthole pucker.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Rocket Race with color-matching Mongeese now?

Vehicles probably have an option to change their highlights similar to to objects, such as the base. Nice catch.

so it is now 16 player forge, or still only 8?

16

 

[CrazedArabMan]

so it is now 16 player forge, or still only 8?

 

[Neuromancer]

Unfortunately this does me no good, if we can't put in enemy AI or make our own missions. Oh well, should be cool for the rest of you guys.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Click the stick to zoom in, and you move the object a tiny degree at a time.

Oh, it gets even better than that.

You can make minute, accurate, numerical adjustments to objects. Combined with Phased/Fixed options for physics and there is no reason for anything not to line up or merge perfectly if you apply even half the anal retention you did to Forging in Halo 3.

 

[Pappasman]

Forge World Sanctuary is seriously my favorite thing in the vidoc

 

[Buttonbasher]

Well this is certainly an interesting development.

 

["God's Beard!"]

CHIRON TL-35 IS NOT JUST A DREAM

 

[DMeisterJ]

I hope we get a Midship now.

OMG me too.

This looks so awesome... Cannot wait

 

[von zipp]

Sweet Jeebus.

am happy, Bungie.

So much opportunity to create glorious maps, the possibilities are seemingly endless.

full of WIN.

 

[Pennybags]

What is this?

 

[Hachimaki]

I can already imagine the epic zombie scenarios people will create. Also I want to see a Relic remake.

 

[EazyB]

Yeah, I was going to ask about moving/rotating along specific coordinates but that's what the nudge is all about.

 

[Metalic Sand]

What is the player limit for reach now?

 

[Blueblur1]

What is this?

This.

 

[Tashi]

With these tools, I don't have to hope about my favorite maps being remade. The community will do that. I just hope there are tools for a Midship recreation.

Also, when I saw Asylum in the screenshot of the list of Forge maps, Prisoner immediately popped into my head. Oh man I hope so.

I'm sure you saw it Eazy but that space were Sanctuary was built looked PERFECT for Beaver Creek

 

[GhaleonEB]

What is this?

Same thing as this:

New vehicle get.

Edit: beat.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Forge World Sanctuary is seriously my favorite thing in the vidoc

I think you mean 'Asylum'. Or is it 'Paradiso'?

Pinnacle = Ascension.
Hemorrhage = Blood Gulch.
I guess Lockout is more likely to be Asylum.

 

[Striker]

Ecstatic, that's all. Cannot wait.

Oh nice, Blood Gulch will have lots of vehicles.

 

[FilthyLies]

Full map list?

Man, as awesome as Forge World is, I was hoping for more "real" maps than this. Having professional artists give each playspace a unique look really adds something. Having such complete control over geometry is nice, but the samey visual aesthetic will get old pretty fast I bet. I'm already good with never seeing a Sandbox map again and we've only had that a year :lol

Oh well, I'm sure what we do get will be quality. Hope you can Forge up Invasion maps- there's TONS you could do with that.

 

[MrSerrels]

CHIRON TL-35 IS NOT JUST A DREAM

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Pappasman]

Hemorrhage = Blood Gulch.

oh im not sure what the new name for sanctuary is.

i think the lockout map is called "the cage"

 

[Shake Appeal]

Yeah, that map list is troubling, especially since one of them at least is entirely Invasion-centric.

And it runs from B-Z, so I really think that might be our lot.

 

[EazyB]

May as well get it out of the way but here's just a few things off the top of my head that I didn't see that seem like they should be in there (with relative ease):

Undo/Redo
Select multiple objects & copy/paste
A very dark indoor area where the lights would be really usefull.

 

[Kholdstare]

Holy fuck this is awesome. We have already seen some pretty crazy stuff with Forge in Halo 3... I wonder how all this is going to turn out.



Now all we need is a way to search or join random custom games and we will be set.

 

[soldat7]

Only 9 maps?

Oh well, I hope we at least get a pack of 3 maps every 6 months for $15. That'd be sweet. I don't want to be waitin' for Activision for that treatment.

 

[UltimaPooh]

I think they said something about undo during the conference Eazy.

Also while the list of maps is currently small there could be variations within them similar to Forge World, in which there are different maps inside larger maps.

Oh well, I hope we at least get a pack of 3 maps every 6 months for $15. That'd be sweet.

I love Bungie but screw this. They should not be following Activision's pricing models.

 

[ToyMachine228]

There's a description of the new vehicle up on IGN. They said it's like a cross between a Ghost and a Wraith. More agile than a Wraith, but a lot more fragile. Shoots the same plasma blobs as a Wraith supposedly.
