The new environment is beautiful, the forge pieces are nice and the changes are pretty good for the forger. That said, there is nothing revolutionary here and I really can see the forge visuals getting stale fast. It definitely is a few steps ahead of Reach, but I don't see it completely avoiding the issues Forge maps have had in the past.
The option to change the color on Forge Pieces would be really nice.. Or not being locked into one theme per map so you could have a mix of art palettes.

Is lighting something that's configurable in Forge?

I was hoping you'd be able to change the environment of the Forge World this time. Got so bland in Reach. But I guess they gotta get you to spend that money for their maps somehow.

Looks good enough for me, there's only so much they can do with current tech. Wait for Halo 5 on the "Durango"

Where's my grass/rock/sand/snow floor Forge piece?
And my ability to change object colors.
This.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
So the first one they showed was Forerunner pallet, right? This one is USNC, but I didn't expect it to be in space. Hoping the last one is Covenant, but I wonder where they will set it.
Looks improved, but...

So will there be a secret spaceship level?

Covenant forge reveal.
They've only showed the UNSC palette so far. (Except for the Forge pieces in the Grifball previews which could've been Forerunner.)

I'm interested to see what the community is going to come up with having all of these new options. I'm particularly interested in what can come out of the Objective Ordnance drops.

They're not dull, they're homogenized and thus look dull when pieced together 100+ times.

I don't understand why it's so hard for developers to get this. The space environment looks amazing but it already looks generic. Let people change the colors for gods sake. Let me create a perfect copy of a level like Chillout or Hang em High. Every level is going to look exactly the same and interest will wane very quickly.

Well, they have yet to unveil everything and they seem to be hinting at another palette (Covenant perhaps) so it may not be lost yet.
I think they know that people want colors, but I assume there is some technical (or pratical) reason they don't do it.
Limited memory.

Didn't watch the video nor have I kept up on changes to H4's version, but is there finally standard support for gravity settings? I want low-grav CTF remakes of Facing Worlds with Halo gameplay, damn it.
You can alter gravity settings in forge with "zones", you can alter the size so you can likely cover the whole map if you wanted to.

Forge is looking pretty good.

They did some Halo 2 maps, as well as some Reach maps for the Anniversary map pack and Defiant map pack.

Very nice area, but man, still the same grey colors. What is it with Forge and the color grey!
I thought the map they demoed griffball on was the third forge map, no?

Nah, that was just part of the Forerunner map.
Each map seems to have subsections (This is a cave on Impact):
B-b-but matchmaking population! B-b-but can't be done on consoles, BF3 doesn't count!

Xbox1 had server lists and i could even have my Xbox be a dedicated server in some games (like in the Rainbow Six games for example). I did it all the time and it was awesome.
Then, matchmaking came along in Halo2 and destroyed all of that.

Honestly, i see a good reason to have both so i really dont see why theyre so stubborn on this. Id use both regularly.
Often, i just wanna play a regular game in a normal playlist and most maps, and on PC for example its really hard to find servers like that as the game gets older. Theres too many 27/7 servers on one map at one point. At the same time, sometimes (as you said) i like to play something very specific all day long and on consoles, and its fucking impossible to do that, unless the playlist are done like in COD, by game-type, which helps.

Theres going to be 3 different forge maps. Not quite as big as Forge world, but not quite as boring either.
