What Is The Forge?
In the beginning, there was a single sniper rifle on Colossus. And it was not so good. One of the new multiplayer features introduced in Halo 3 is the Forge. The Forge is an object layout editor, a tool to allow players to rework the various weapons, vehicles, and scenery that Bungie's multiplayer designers have thoughtfully placed around Halo 3's multiplayer maps. Better still, the Forge is a multiplayer editor in every sense of the word: you can enlist the aid of a few friends to edit a map with you, in the same game, over the usual gamut of multiplayer situations (splitscreen, system link, or Xbox Live.) Of course, any gathering of friends inevitably devolves into shootings. Fortunately, the Forge also plays host to a variety of novel combat conditions, and even a couple of peculiar games made possible by the lax rules and on-the-fly editing.
Can't wait for this.. It's going to add even more gameplay time to Halo than the online did to Halo 2 over Halo 1.
it'll be fun to play it again and again, especially in co-op with friends, making new discoveries together.. and doing the usual - trying to climb out of the map!
Someone posted once that the Forge was innovative. People are getting excited over this feature when I am more than positive it is in EVERY Time Splitter game. You can set every thing from weapons to vehicles, respawn points, health and power ups, as well as create the damn level itself. Halo is an average shooter that does little no other shooter has before it.
Forge is pretty much Garry's Mod in a sense.
