I am truly impressed with all that I have seen from Reach so far.
They tweaked the jump height and seem to be serious about making this game their absolute best.
I am looking forward to getting my hands on it at PAX, and then a week~ later when it comes out!

Bungie found a way into free infinite dlc.
We will have all sorts of previous-halo remakes within a few days from launch.
They just have to collect the best of them and put them into default playlists.
So everyone downloads the maps and we have a shit-ton of maps to play.

so are we going to be able to play on blood gulch, then hop in a banshee and play on ascension?
Did you notice the budget in the video? Over $9000 left on a map with plenty of objects already placed.DopeyFish said:
Thanks for that, i was about to complain that they need to provide kill volumes so players can't hide on the ledges under the Ascension remake.Church RvB said:
So happy the building blocks are from the newer Forerunner catalogue. I have always preferred working with the cleaner pieces from Avalanche as opposed to the worn out bits from Sandbox.
Good to see they included HUGE pieces so we don't have to blow the budget on a large floor or wall.
The new controls are an almost spot on match to my wish list. No more sawing objects back and forth with my shitty old controllers. Nudge, nudge!
Also. it's good to know my position as Grifball's mapmaker is still secure. :lol
No offence! It looks fine. Really, it does!
:lol

Agreed, although like EazyB posted earlier it looks like you can change object color so that should help make things better. Still having the same grassy scenery is going to get old though. Looks like weather controls will be in too though... can a Bungie employee confirm?-Yeti said:Yeah, I do think it's kinda weird (yet awesome at the same time) that they added structures and objects found on old Halo maps.
But at least we'll be able to essentially recreate any map we want now.
One thing I'm kinda bummed about is how there's pretty much only one aesthetic: Forerunner objects with Halo scenery. Is it too crazy to assume there will be other Forge Worlds with different aesthetics?
EDIT: Copied from other thread.
Regarding the budget: from the Gamespot video, Forge World has a $10,000 initial budget. The list of Building Blocks were $10 each, and the really huge Buildings were $150 each. So if you did nothing but Building pieces, the max is 66. They seemed scaled roughly to the same cost as Halo 3; I was looking at some of the Building items Shishka pulled out, and they would easily take a good 15-20 pieces in Halo 3, at $5 each. Seems like a pretty decent budget.
I was only sort of joking a while back when I said that would be their final "fuck you" to Microsoft for how they man handled Halo 3's DLC. Looks like they actually did it. :lolmetareferential said:

I plan on making a Headlong remake. I'm going to stay as true as Forge will allow me. Only change will be Man Cannon instead of a teleporter, and obviously focus rifle for beam rifle, concussion rifle for brute shot, etc

Halo Reach Machinima will be absolutely epic! :O Between this and 2011 games, gaming can end right now and I'd be content. :lol

Probably should have posted in this thread, but didn't know this one was up...
In the ViDoc at 4:50 a Spartan has the Evade ability, was this ever confirmed before? I know the BETA that Invasion would bug and the Spartans would spawn with the Elite abilities, but I don't think we ever saw a Spartan use it or be able to use it. I might have missed something, but I don't remember ever seeing a confirmation that Spartans could use it...

Sanctuary, Lockout, Warlock and Ascension?!

Ghaleon, the buildings are linked in the gamespot video - you can only build 12 buildings (mix and match)
And btw I consider $10,000 to be... Not enough the maps I want to build would be ridiculous in scale... I already have an idea for a map but I already know I wouldn't finish half of it because of the budget constraints
That's what I hate so much with forge

No, more than likely the covie map seen in that last vidoc. I mean really, with only 9 maps, I don't want them to waste one of the slots on a map that I can fire up Halo 3 and play right now.
The only maps I think that have a shot at being remade are the ones that couldn't really be done with this new forge, Ivory Tower fits that bill because of the elevator. Stuff like Beaver Creek, Midship, etc. can easily be done in Forge by the right people.

I'm not even going to try and think about the possibilities, it'll just hurt my head. People did crazy things with Forge. We don't even got the thing in our hands yet to fully know everything about it and it already sounds like it's going to bring crazy possibilities. I can't wait.Letters said:
I also didn't even think about the possibility of them releasing DLC "CovieWorld", that would be nice.
Some random things:
Your budget is $10,000, 10x the amount Sandbox had. It's a bit misleading though because the base price for many of the objects seem to be twice that of Halo 3 so 5x Sandbox is a better estimate. Then you see "buldings" which all seem to cost $150 which is the equivalent of 10 warthogs in Halo 3. That original variant they showed off, pictured below, seems to take up 2/3 of the budget. It's a decent sized map with many pieces but for some reason I expected the budget to be much greater. People wanting detailed remakes of large maps like Headlong may have to cut some corners to stay within the budget. The linking of all objects within a certain category puzzles me.
When floating around you have two options:
1) Tools
2) Place Object
Place object leads you here:
Structure goes to:
Placeable grids (ala Sandbox's skybox) is really neat.
Building blocks:
While holding a block these are your options:
Buildings list:
"Special tools"

I'm really curious about those tilting worlds, that looked really crazy.
I'm also wondering how we can setup invasion games in this, I bet some nucking futz stuff could happen.
So goddamn pumped.

This, very interesting. Creating whole maps in different areas of the Forge World that become accessible in the different phases of invasion would be incredibly awesome.

From the vidoc. The Forgeworld variants will be in MM, but you'll only see nine unique aesthetics. Keep in mind Boneard is Invasion only as well (I think?), so that's a pretty limited palette.

God damn it, I have to put this on my list now.
Nope, all game types. It was just used as the Invasion test bed in the Beta.FilthyLies said:

Yes, you can.Sill4 said:
Also, early in the vidoc (0:43) they show the Race gametype, some Spartans, some Elites...and five vehicles with no one in them. I assume they're invisible players, but the vehicles exhibit shield flare, just like a player does. Not sure what to make of it.

I have reached Ascension in my pants.......that is all.
Curious to how many of these maps will fit the bill for expected playlists.
For instance, BTB. Guarantee we'll have Hemorrhage as our homage BTB map. But what else? Sure we can make others. My question is will any of the unknown or not discussed maps large enough? There needs to be three to four large based maps for BTB. Halo 2 shipped with Waterworks, Coagulation, and Headlong, but still could have used Burial Mounds and Colossus in some regard. This seems limited in quantity. Here's hoping there's enough and I'm just being a dweeb.

Could there be any non-Forgeable multiplayer maps? I would hope so, but don't believe it. Ah well, here's hoping for more freqquent map packs this time around.FilthyLies said:

If the map select UI is anything like all the other list UI than there'd be a little arrow indicating where the rest of the list is. Don't know how I'd feel if these were the only maps that shipped with the game. Sure, the forge remakes are as good as they ever were, but it still seems like a pretty limited amount.Schmitty said:
