Community Forge World Impressions

Mandoran

hey Podtac this is the Mandoran and this is my second submission, I’m sending this to you because you never read my first one. Well anyway if you notice on the last two pictures for this link http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/images.aspx?c=59&page=1, there appears to be a new vehicle it looks like a combination between a wraith and a ghost, but it is red. Also for the new Halo Reach firefight it appears that the brutes are similar to the Halo 2 brutes (little armor), except for the chieftains and they look frog like. Also, the brutes appear to have side arms and not only the chieftains have grav hammers. The new forge looks awesome and the mongoose looks like it changes color according to what team is on it (hence the fact that when to guys on purple team are on it it turned purple). I know how everyone has their random frag usually involving fart juice but I don’t. Also the Japanese do make a fart juice drink. I really hope this is spelled correctly. P.S. sadly today my Xbox 360 Elite (got it for Christmas) hates me and refuses to hook up to the Internet and I do have a wireless adapter, what might be the problem? P.S.S my favorite host is Brent gamer, not a fan of you GLewis (who I hope is not reading this) –the Mandoran leader of the Mandores and Mandora (from my Star Wars fan fiction A Galaxy at War) signing out JEROME IS WATCHING YOU……

I’m pretty impressed by Forge World but I thought maybe shortly after Reach comes out, Bungie might say ”We’re not making any DLC for Reach. You have Forge World, there you go, make your own DLC every couple of months”. Maybe a curse in disguise…

To be honest, I wont be using Forge world that much because I used forge to just mess around and never actually too it seriously. I do like how they added it so people could use forge a lot better. Since Forge 2.0 would be easier to use for people that enjoy Forging. I cant wait to see what people make with it. For the campaign, I wonder if anyone else noticed that in one scene, Noble 6 was holding some one's dog tags. The game does look amazing. Once it comes out I will have a new reason to stay single. :)

Hey y'all!  It's the Halo Master Chef (not chief) here with his opinion on Forge world, Forge 2.0, and the Battle Begins trailer! First off, I can't wait to forge some new things in Reach, as this is one of my favorite things to do in Halo 3!  With the all new systems and such, it'll be ever more fun creating new mini-games, lounges, towns, racetracks, slayer maps, etc.!  I'll definitely be remaking some of my best work too! As for Forge World, I think I just found my new favorite map!  It incorporates Blood Gulch, Ascension and Lockout (kinda) into a new map!  the island looks like its going to be my favorite part. I'm definitely making a Gilligan's island game type! Now for the new trailer.  All in all, the campaign looks better than ever!  My favorite bit from it was flying a hornet through a burning city!  That will be just too awesome!

Any whom, I'm just really excited at all the new features.  They've also remade most of my favorite maps too!  All they need to do now is include Gemini, Headlong, and Geophyrophobia!

Two last things.  One, I think Bungie hinted that they were remaking Beaver Creek (see forums).  Two, I hope they keep that glitch in Boneyard where you can walk up a certain wall while playing as a Spartan to the point where you're floating in an area where nobody can see you and you can kill anybody.  I won many Invasion games with it!

Well, that's my two cents!  Keep on fragging trucks of Beavers so that you release the cute little creatures into specific Creeks and Zones.  WHERE THEY BELONG!

Signing off, Bradfurd Leigh (Kikoroo (Porce939699))...

Hey guys it's, JakeofHockey (formerly known as Jamaccer6942) and my take on Forge World & Forge 2.0 is that its amazing to see that Bungie is taking note of what the community does and wants to do, such as, making things float in mid-air, putting objects through other objects, being able to delete all of one thing instead of going around the map and trying to find all of them *cough* spawns *cough* , also customizing the colors for objects so that they become more distinguished as a base or something. I am exponentially ecstatic that they brought back Gulch, I like how they brought this huge map just bare and ready for some kid to make something amazing on. But I do have questions though, is Forge World the only Forgable map?, I know Blood Gulch, Ascension, and Sanctuary were all mentioned, but what other maps do you think inspired the 5 combined maps in Forge World. And finally which map of the five do you think you will use the most, me I will probably use the gulch, the rock, and the outdoor pocket. That’s all from me, keep it up, love the show, Keep fragging rocket warthogs! JakeofHockey out. (sorry if this is a long submission)
