Antifreeze looks more like Meltdown than Avalanche. That's good news, maybe we can get an actual Sidewinder remake outside of Forge. Make it happen, 343.

Forge looks really impressive.
Shame it didn't ship with the game at launch.
Also, going to need to see the file sharing/browzing systems.
Does people no good if they can create all these great maps, but there's no way to find them.

Why can't we have the sage colour on our armours?

Ok Forge looks amazing
They've already said we're basically getting H4-style File Share for 4's launch (find it via someone's player card), but that they're planning on expanding it.
I'm hoping you can bundle maps/gametypes together for one-click downloads, and a curated list and category browser (mini games, arena, BTB, etc., or via game types it supports.)

Forge is looking more like development software than a map editor/creator.

Yes forgers, you too can fill your maps with completely extraneous minor geometric details that serve only to get players caught in the midst of a fire-fight!
EDIT:
Cool, thanks.
Honestly, I wish there was something as simple as the bungie.net 'most played', 'most downloaded', 'most liked' system.
Between Halo 3 and Reach, I think my friends and I played on something like 300 different Forge maps, just trying out different people's stuff. People we didn't know, or would never know how to search for.

Indeed
The new magnets system looks phenomenal. Glad that they reworked that when the community cartographers were struggling.
Cool thing: When using terrain mapping (projecting the texture of the terrain onto pieces) you can set the terrain texture to a different canvas. So if you are in the snow map, you could choose to make some of the terrain the grass map texture, for whatever reason.

I love it. Scripting is going to be incredible.

Think I'll make a Countdown spiritual successor when Forge drops.

Yup, this is really really extensive. It sucks that this wasn't there day 1, because it would have been such incredible icing. But it looks like it is really worth the wait :O

Wow.
This is really, really great.
I'm impressed, 343i.

I find that Halo5 got me into close matches in a fraction of the time it took in Halo2. And then halo 2 started being abused and the matchmaking went to hell. h5 is better by virtue of not being so susceptible.

Have they said whether you can name regions of your own maps for HUD callouts?

A map on the space setting with low altitude fog would create a cool atmosphere.

Forge is going to be a game changer. While I don't want to play a saturated amount of forge maps, there's so much you can do to make them feel different.
The lighting stuff!!! WTF... I can only get so excited. Shit. They are practically giving us their Engine Lite.
The only thing missing is AI, if you had AI you could make single player experiences for days. Halo 6 is gonna finish and then boot you into their engine in it's entirety to create the future of Halo lmao.
