Cool the trees are animated, and cast animated shadows, too.
Sucks about the 50 combined limit on trees and rocks though.
I'm not sure the shadow length is quite correct with respect to the sun location... Loooong shadows.

I agree with tawpgun, they should make it mandatory, similar to Halo 3's 'DLC is required to play this list', but on most playlists.
Edit: The Heroic pack in Halo 3 was free and required in many lists iirc.

It's free, so why not make it mandatory? You had to install 6 gigs for multiplayer anyways.
I think so. I'm not sure how useful they'll be, they're kind of weird. I'm sure someone more creative than me will think of a good use for them.
They'd also have a much easier time justifying it this time around since to play multiplayer at all you already have to install to a storage device, and Forge Island is only 150 megabytes so it's not a huge hit.
Forge Island, bitches!
edit: Assassins Creed 3 is apparently free on the chinese Xbox marketplace by the way.

But you need a chinese account to get it for free, everytime I try to make one it redirects me to the US page.

Forge Island is out? WTF? My Spring Break started yesterday and ends on the 10th. It was perfect timing. Now everything is messed up! The one time 343 releases something earlier than expected...

Take a break from Halo and enjoy your spring break?
And as far as building blocks I just meant pieces in general.

It's a giant open space, with lots of natural flat terrain to use as flooring. Forgers have been begging for this for years. And you're complaining that it's too big. Holy shit.
Can't wait to get my mitts on this over the weekend. I'll most likely scrap the map that I made on Ravine and rework it here. Yaaaaaaay!

Can the trees become moveable? Because, Mantis + trees = new Endor minigame idea
Thanks, downloading now.

A buddy was skeptical at first but stumbled onto this: http://imgur.com/a/gaBsq
Why's there a "Marathon" symbol in Halo 4??? Didact Is The Traveler In Destiny, Confirmed!
Spillz It Ellis, Plz.

I saw it, but I was confused because I thought Bungie owned that. Or at least, that's what I assumed since it was removed from everything else it used to be on.

Once they're spawned they're rigid.
People just jammin' out Forge stuff now
Who else is in your party? Im tempted to join for a bit, never can forge solo but might be fun to get some MMOForge going.
How did you get/make a Chinese account?
Make a chinese outlook account (search online for postcodes and such) then sign onto xbox.com, set region to china, fill out billing address info when asked + they'll give you a silver account.
Then just click that link again and download the game, sign onto your 360 as the silver and start the download!

oh well. Still excited for a good space to play space legos.Once they're spawned they're rigid.

Does forging in a party still fuck up the piece orientation? More so than normal, I mean.
Woot, thanks I'm trying it now!
I'm signing off in a moment, people are helping petetheduck work on one of his maps

Forge Island is easily one of the worst maps Halo has ever had.
I downloaded it, started a custom game and it just played awful. No cover, terrible spawns, and I couldn't find a weapon anywhere.
Framerate was okay though.

Had a ten minute mess around on the island and I'm impressed. Very much looking forward to what good forgers will come up with. This is what forge should've been from day 1 and should always be: a flat surface.
Green screen is also solid, so can be used for walls, floor etc.

Mildly related to Halo news: Alvin Risk is going to be at Lollapalooza, Chicago's big yearly music festival. I missed him last time he was in town, so I'm hyped to FINALLY get to see him. :lol Hyyyype.
Also Nine Inch Nails omg. Can't wait. Can't believe I'm gonna get to see them. *_*
Shiiiiiit Nemesis Remix.

I mean. I have to say that looks pretty. I mean for forge standards. I cannot wait what people will make with Forge Island.Once they're spawned they're rigid.

OMG! Why did I laugh out loud so much?
Oh man. I feel so bad not going to PAX East this year. The time between our last meeting and next one is way too long.
For Elzar: I am playing BioShock Infinite. I like the world, encounters and gun play is good but not great.

How did you do it? I got the Chinese account made but when i try to download it via the link it tells me the offer is not available in my region.

it didn't work for me :/
It works 2% downloaded, the download is super slow. It took quite a while till it worked
Yeah dude, I'm hoping his set doesn't change much, because in every show I've seen online of his, it seems like that's what he opens with. The idea of people jamming to Halo remixes at a festival is fucking hilarious and incredibly awesome.
OMG same here. PAX East and then this trip to Seattle these guys took sounded so awesome. I couldn't actually make the trips though so it's not like I decided not to go. Still sucks though.

Did you use the link or download it via the xbox?
It should still begin the download, and tell you live is unavailable in your region. Strange..

Just did it. I'll have to go try to log into my xbox with this account but I think it worked.
Lol I know. I would lose my shit.
I just checked, yeah it's downloading. Thank you for helping set up a Chinese account!
