Halo: Reach

Re: Halo: Reach

Man if Forge 2.0 is as expansive as it is suppose to be then I believe it could very well be close to the full level editor that has eluded Halo. I have always had my mind on an Far Cry editor in Halo but I wonder if I been thinking about it all the wrong way? What if it was an Upgraded Forge with the existing levels fully editable. Not necessary the landscape but the objects, rocks, bases, etc. That would keep enough editing to keep people happy with not having to incorporate the data for landscape editing. Thoughts Guys?

And one of my favorite things on Bungie.net:

If you have an Plasma Pistol and walk up to an Falcon and melee it, does that mean your doing an FALCON PUNCH!

Alot of people are hoping that Bungie will add that dialogue with the IWHBYD Skull.

Re: Halo: Reach

I don't think we will be able to edit the terrain geometry. The bases in the RvB video aren't lightmapped into the geometry. Also, the rock behind the closeup of the two red spartans. This is a clear sign that the objects were placed through Forge, as it was the same in Halo 3. I think there will be texture and color palettes we can swap out on objects, so everything doesn't look generic like with Sandbox and Foundry. The April Fools video hints at this with the chess board. I think it's possible we might be able to adjust atmospherics too.

Re: Halo: Reach

LOL at the Falcon Punch line Candy. I honestly don't know what were going to get with Forge, but I would guess that its still going to be an "object placement" tool at heart, probably not editing terrain.

We'll know soon enough though.

The good news is that some of what we showed will actually be coming out next week including a boat load of new screenshots and even some direct feed video. Did I already mention that next Thursday was shaping up to be HUGE?!

Microsoft to release $400 Halo: Reach Xbox 360

Looks like Microsoft is going to offer yet another flavor of its 360 hardware soon, as we've just gotten word from our ever-accurate Mole that there will be a Halo: Reach version of the newly slimmed-down Xbox 360. This hardware will be silver, not black, and feature Halo: Reach graphics.

The system will come with a copy of Halo: Reach, two wireless Halo controllers, and the 250GB hard drive. Microsoft should be making this official very soon—we hear later today—so you shouldn't have to wait long for the official images.

Forge World Revealed

It's huge. Bigger than huge even. Forge World is incredibly big.

The new iteration of Blood Gulch is called Hemorrhage. It's a marriage of the classic Blood Gulch layout with a bit of Coagulation inspiration tossed in for good measure. And it takes up just a small fraction of Forge World.

Outside of Hemorrhage's walls you can find a beach area leading to an ocean where an island juts out. Further out to sea is a huge rock spire jutting up into the sky. Just a short hop away from this outcropping is a cliff wall that has a handy cave carved out that is just about perfect for Griffball. A massive cliff with little flat areas runs all along this ocean shore. Forge World is essentially pieced together from five different areas, dubbed Canyon, Island, "The Rock," Quarry, and Coliseum.

All of Forge World can be used at once. All of it can be made into one massive stage should you want such a huge multiplayer battle. Nothing is stopping you from creating a Forge level that dwarfs everything that has come before Halo: Reach.
