First Halo 4 Forge Details Revealed at RTX

The familiar map-making tools of Forge from previous Halo games are being developed by Crimson Alliance-creator Certain Affinity, according to their announcement at the Rooster Teeth Expo today. The company has prior experience with Halo development due to its involvement in the creation of several map pack expansions.

Somebody asked the question in the crowd, they didn't actually show it off. If you go and listen to the livestream during the Q&A session you should find it.

They probably just got themselves half a million more pre-orders for Halo 4. Very impressed with everything going into this game. The free content is also impressive, especially when you consider all the crap Microsoft takes for supposedly not caring about gamer's and only wanting to make money.

Id like to see this love go into every game though. But man its about time haha.

[FarCryLover182]

Now that was amazing. I think I'll spend a lot of time in Halo 4 forge. Customizing player traits in certain bubbles (aka affecting gravity, shields, health, etc.), magnetic lock for objects so they are aligned perfectly and the ease of use make this look amazing and the true evolution of Halo forge.

side note: I hope they include a custom browser search where you can join peoples custom games and forge variants and play (not counting toward stats or ranking).

Dynamic lighting and that magnet feature sound and look awesome. That magnet feature will be especially useful, probably cutting forge map making time by a ton.

343 I am really impressed right now. This is how you take over a franchise!!!

From the multiplayer, to Spartan Ops,to 720p they have made me really hapy.

[PockyKing]

I'm looking forward to the next ten years of Halo

[FarCryLover182]

Will do.

[NoFanboyRequired]

I was hoping for a full blown map editor like farcry xP but oh well, I'll still enjoy it :)

[WeskerChildReborned]

Wish i had an Xbox :(

[NoFanboyRequired]

Fanboys didn't like that one lol

[h311rais3r]

Get one. Their cheap. eBay ;3

[Frankfurt]

And to think some people wanted this game to look more like Crysis ("Halo in CryEngine" comments). Halo's clean, glossy art direction is the best in the shooter genre.

[starchild]

Looks amazing all around.

Looks amazing

Bout time we hear about what Forge is doing in Halo 4...Reach actually did a decent job at fixing it from Halo 3 (considering how meticulous Forge was in Halo 3).

I'm really hoping they go all out and allow us to REALLY customize and create maps. Don't just give us one backdrop either, switch it up 343! I want to see them go all out on Forge.

C'mon November...get here already!

[DasTier]

I actually preferred 3 to reach, they sandbox was a much more customisable map than forge world and they took out alot of the fun items from 3 :(

[MasterD919]

Some of my favorite items were missing as well but you could have made incredible maps compared to Halo 3 in Reach and that to me was worth it over any specific item that didn't make an appearance.

The biggest issue in Reach's forge was that Forge World always made all of the maps look the same.

[Siren30]

This is really starting to sound like its going to be the best halo game ever, maybe even the best fps ever.

[MYSTERIO360]

Halo 4 keeps impressing me the more it see of it. Im glad this game wasnt developed by a multiplate company like capcom or EA as spartan ops/forge mode would be paid DLC.

[NoobJobz]

I enjoy Forge, maybe even more so than the rest of the game. I love building and creating.

[StoutBEER]

Just amazing.
