More Forge Details

Wanna know more about The Forge, Halo 3’s map “editor” (none existing geometry can be altered, so it is more of a Halo 3 customization tool). Here you go. Since damage, gravity, speed, power-up effects and almost anything else can be altered, the game can pretty much turn into any type of shooter imaginable. Add to this Forge is a live editing tool, meaning all alterations can be made while up to eight players are going at it. While there are some restrictions (i.e. you cannot eliminate a vehicle while someone is driving it), it opens the door for many fun game types that involve two “map masters” quickly stockpiling their teams for never-before-seen types of mayhem. Lots of craziness will be had, especially during the initial weeks after release when people look to be crazy. Until the dust settles and competitive game types are established, every Halo player and their sister will have their own “Forged” settings they think are the best. Expect a lot of debate – in the form of actual maps and game types to try – from Halo 3 than any other title in the past.
