Frankie, you god damn tease.

Why won't he calm my nerves

 

[Tawpgun]

Frankie, you god damn tease.

Playing it early. I'm PMing Frankie to ban himself.





Also, everytime they show 3rd person campaign footage is a huge kick in the balls now.

 

[Reagan's BR]

What got cut from Forge? Admittedly there wasn't much truly valuable added, but nothing was cut.

They have more size constraints with the new maps compared to Forge World.

 

[Raide]

How could you put the Forge community there

they got better lighting

ALL OF THE SHADOWS!!!!!

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

I highly doubt Race is gone.

 

[Orochinagis]

Frankie, you god damn tease.

OMG, He is playing the game early, Ban Him!!!!

 

[TheOddOne]

Which isn't a bad thing, Forge World was just for show.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Wait, they cut rocket race? Vandernoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

It has to still be possible.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Everyone in that picture that is still unspoiled better set communication permissions to Friends Only asap.

Hmm, that's a good point, I'm not sure about ICE but I know the others do.

Updated the pic as a precaution.

 

[YourExWife]

At least he can't tease you by sending you a link to his campaign playthrough film.

 

[Karl2177]

I really want to see reasons why it was cut, but sadly I know they won't come. I really want to see why we found out through leakers and not from 343i. So much seems to have changed between Anniversary and Halo 4. 343 was crystal clear about Anniversary, and clear as dirt with Halo 4.

Also, I can't wait to see Hydra's defense post of the cut feature.

 

[CyReN]

If you guys want I can capture Frankie playing different modes from the friendlist mode and get u4iX to commentate it.

Ghal and Over made some great posts about how the premade structures and lack of flat ground actually made forging more difficult.

[MarauderShields]

You forgot the Grifball community, sir.

They didnt seem all that happy when it was revealed.

Yep. No more mongoose tracks.

Call of Duty doesnt have race so I guess it wasnt important enough.

 

[MrBig]

You made this? Looks awesome!

This is a very nice Halo thing.

yeah, thanks

YES

You're missing the point we are making. Nothing was actually cut from Forge...

You'll go far, junior. You'll go far.

 

[TheOddOne]

Oh, that I agree with. Which is a shame did not think of that while making the new Forge maps.

The vastness of Forge World was actually something that was just for show.

All I want is large Grassy/Snow/Spacey Cubes. They keep making fancy detailed Forge maps which actually makes it harder to Forge unique things. Instead we have to wrap around chunky rocks or massive eternal monoliths.

Damn you 343. I know I will spend ages with Forge but you could have done something a bit more special. I doubt we will even get any updates in the form of more prefabs etc.

 

[Overdoziz]

It's sad to see how little they did with Forge even though there's so much potential even while keeping it a shitty virtual Lego simulator.

They cut the precision forging mechanic.

 

[zlatko]

Did someone on HaloGAF create this? xD

Maybe it could use KOTH in some way.

 

[Reagan's BR]

Yeah I couldn't careless about how "Wow this maps is huge" factor of Forge World but I do care about having space to place objects without having to work around the preexisting geometry.

You're missing the point we are making. Nothing was actually cut from Forge...

I would argue that space got cut by including the awkwardly shaped ground and prebuilt structures. The shadows were one step forward but the awkwardness of the buildings was two steps back towards foundry.

If only a coliseum wall had one side grass, the other side sand, etc...

[Moa]

So I got a new status update from Halo 4 Soundtrack. I did not notice the update but then...

Same here, hopefully it actually comes before November 6th.

 

[Havok]

They cut the precision forging mechanic.

Yeah, both the precision crawl and zoom functions were huge for me when I was Forging. I don't know that magnets will be able to fill that hole, especially with more creative and off-the-wall stuff.

 

[Conor 419]

Is this music in Halo 4?

Chums?

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

343,

Halo 4 is not Charmin Ultra. Less is not more.

Sincerely,

The Competitive Community, Objective Fans, Forge Community, Race Community, Screenshot Community, Limited Edition Owners, Firefight fans


------------------------------------------------------------
What groups am I forgetting now? Who didn't get something they like cut?

Well, they did cater to some objective fans, but not all of them. I can't understand some of thier choices. No Race? No Assault? No SP Theater? Sucky LE. Etc.

It hurts.

 

[Overdoziz]

Certain Affinity doesn't get Forge so it's no wonder we didn't get stuff like that.

Edit: Need 2 European people for Halo Wars 3v3. GT = Elzarthebum

 

[Blue Ninja]

Chums?

The start isn't on the OST. The middle to end is '117'.

 

[BigShow36]

Wait, they cut rocket race? Vandernoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

I think if you can still do it. Just spawn warthogs for everyone and then modify the Assault gametype so everyone has bombs and the finish line is the arm point.

That will work, right?

 

[Reagan's BR]

There are relatively few people who have not been affected by having features cut.

I highly doubt Race is gone.

No Race and or VIP gametype to simulate Race.

Deep down I am hoping they just hid it away in Forge, so we can make those modes but we just don't get their dedicated playlist.

They treat it the way they make maps but then don't actually give us the tools to make anything that good. They just did not see that the Forge Community does not want fancy pre-built maps.

SAKE

 

[MaximumFlipFlop]

Chums?

From what I can tell, most of the music used in their videos are simplified versions of preexisting songs. Listening to the album, I heard these songs in there, but there is much more going on in them now. Don't know the term used, but imagine it as the songs in the videos containing less "Layers" than those on the actual album.

A few tracks aren't part of the regular OST. Armour is the PAX Prime Concept art trailer music but it is only available on the standard edition and not LE(or at least it seems like that).

Looks at iTunes Halo 4 soundtrack that I purchased.
Doesn't see Armor listed anywhere.
MORE EXCLUSIVES WTF!

 

[Hypertrooper]

It's not on the OST, at least. From the middle to the end is from '117'.

343: Cutting content and features! Awesome, right!?

 

[HigherLevel]

Edit: Need 2 European people for Halo Wars 3v3. GT = Elzarthebum

I don't even understand how CA got the job to make Forge. 343i as far as I know has more people working on Halo 4 than Bungie ever had on a Halo game, yet they have to outsource a major aspect of the game to another company. What are all those people doing?

Only acceptable reason is that some of them are hard at work on that Halo 2 remake for the next Xbox.

 

[Reagan's BR]

A few tracks aren't part of the regular OST. Armour is the PAX Prime Concept art trailer music but it is only available on the standard edition and not LE(or at least it seems like that).

Those extra 3 tracks are only available to people who bought the normal CD and not to those who payed the extra $60+?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

What you did there, I see it.

KOTH variant may work though.

 

[The Real Napsta]

Just got the dashboard update. Seems pretty legit.

 

[CreateNowSleepLater]

Nobody wants to read that here.

Spoiler

Although you are probably right.

 

[Vire]

When do we get that Avatar armor for watching the debates by the way?

Just curious. I MISSED OUT ON CNN'S STUPID SQUIGGLY LINE FOR THIS.

People were complaining about IE. With a chatpad I think it is pretty useful.

For a console.

My Halo Wars tactics are wild, I don't think you'd want to play with me.

Around November 1st you get an email with a code
