343’s Community Manager, Jessica Shea, has some answers for us during the RoosterTeeth Expo last week: Without a shadow of a doubt, the Halo community is most curious to know what sort of environments will be able to work with in Halo 4’s Forge Mode. No differentiation in map textures can grow old very quickly when Halo players play as much as they do, with every map looking just like the last. What we’ve found in Reach’s Forge mode was a lack of terrain options to work with, only able to manipulate futuristic looking structures around a grassy, mountainous area called Forge World. This can dramatically alter a playing field that older Forge Modes could never accomplish so easily. Player Trait Zones have been included to give players the ability to alter the physics within a specified zone on a map, such as gravity, once a player steps inside. This time around, however, there will be a never before seen lighting system that will allow players to manipulate shadows around the maps. Just like in previous installments, Halo 4’s Forge Mode will allow players to move objects, lock them into place, duplicate them, set weapons, and the works. The bulk of what Halo’s Forge Mode offers is what we can expect what you can dream, you can create.

The question these days is, however, will Halo 4’s version hold its own compared to its predecessor’s?

Since the dawn of Halo 3, Forge Mode has been a massive hit between casual and professional players to make the perfect maps for any occasion.
