Haha yeah. I have no idea. No doubt this new one will be a MLG map though.
Urban canvas is a good way to describe it. That would be so cool. I'd love to build little city maps that look like New Mombassa with paved roads and all.
Also, link? I thought that was the first environment.
It would help out MM voting so much.

The IGN videos every Tuesday and Thursday aren't new maps, they are all of the maps. We only have 1 map left we don't know about, so they'd run out of content pretty quick if they did only new maps.
I think that when someone brings up color customization, most people just imagine a bunch of wildly different colored pieces slapped together, but the truth is that the best forgers would use that new possibility with a lot of subtlety in the color transitions making sure it wouldn't be jarring to the eye exploring the place.
I'll take anything. All you can buy on waypoint is the costumes for blue/red spartan, and a wallet. That is weak sauce. Plus Bungie has switched their store to entirely aero space stuff so no more Halo shirts of any kind on there.

So... I'm not sure how many of you have already signed up for KontrolFreek's latest contest - but by liking their Facebook page, you put yourself in the running for a Halo 4 LE 360, or one of 5 wireless Halo 4 controllers. (This is open to anyone in any country, 16 or older - it's not US-only!) The reason I'm posting it is because they've got a secondary contest going; when you sign up, you're asked where you heard about it, and the community with the most referrals gets ANOTHER 360 bundle to give away. HBO is in the running to win this (though we're not currently on top) - we need more votes! So sign up, and I might be able to give you a SECOND chance to win a 360. 
(Contest ends this Sunday.)

I hope the next step/halo 5 allows for custom ground.
Way ahead of you. I have to give credit to my favorite halo website with a geocities looking pre-ice age forum.So...

Certainly looks like it's underground or inside the side of the mountain judging by the light. But it also looks like the walls are brown color, so Frankie plz...
Dynamic Lighting only seems to apply to forge pieces, too, not player models.
So if you walk into a 'shadowy' area, you still retain the same lighting as if you were in the sun.... or so it seems based on that video.
lame.

I still think subtle changes in color could be awkward when its the exact same textures involved. If you just have a blank white texture with some blue lining like in the new forge, and try to alter it, its going to look like variants of construction paper. A solid light blue next to a solid white would still look funky.

Where did you get that info? Looks right so far.

About to watch.
One last thing re:Forge. For the player trait zones I can see it being used for lifts; did anyone see an aesthetic object like a vent that would make this look good?

Why would they refuse to give Forgers more freedom to make what they want, where they want it? Are they just lousy bastards?

More than likely intentional in both design and implementation to stop players from becoming too hidden.

Sorry, I edited the post, but the spoilers are super minor. I didn't think about it til afterwards since it is literally frontpaged at waypoint with that title.
Sweeet! Quality seems like a decent step up from Anniversary.
I wonder if the Spartan Ops episodes are made in this same style.
This. Kind of want it as a avatar.

New terminal video looks GOOD.
I know I will spend hours and hours with Forge and I know ForgeGAF will be all over it but why they keep doing little nudges to Forge and not a full awesome update, it confusing to me.

Seriously I can't really tell from the footage so far but if the hit decals and blood have as much permanence as they did in CE/2 combined with the simpler block appearance I think I'm gonna enjoy playing in Forge maps.BLOOD SPLATTERS ON FORGE PIECES CONFIRMED!

So what I gathered from that prologue is that some covies knew about requiem during the war and went there only to find the humans. So, essentially these covies don't know the war is over?
Spoilers so people don't whine.

Nah, right after those watchers that he was battling was a small skirmish
between Elites on ghosts and a Knight who knocks one of them off, killing him.
I think it would be pretty hard to be that oblivious that the war was over.

Disappointing indeed. Unless its only a preview and 343 already fix that.
They keep the CEA terminals Style huh?

That terminal is interesting considering who makes an appearance. Because, at this point in The Thursday War,
It's a cool terminal, but it does raise one question: If
wants no human near Requiem, why not just destroy the human ship? Why board it? Or is that later revealed in TTW?

Did they ever say something different as "wort wort wort" in the past Halos? In Halo: Legends, the Elite cultures were shown with a huge resemblance of the Japanese samurai culture. Maybe they stay to that.GEOCITIES? Why, I oughtta...
