Don't bother paying for Diamond. Some guys over at Se7ensins are going to release a free program that can do much more than that soon.

I really wish we had some idea as to what Frankie was talking about right before the Forge Island panel. I said my pipe dream would be for them to release a companion program called Arsenal that basically let you create weapons from scratch, and Frankie said "lol not tonight. But you'll probably be ok."

Yes. This is the kind of tool we should have gotten ages ago.
Too bad these will technically be "modded" gametypes. Still, we should be able to get a perfect Halo 1/Halo 2 style gametype out of this.
Do we know if they'll be able to tweak strafe acceleration?
Either way this is amazing news!

That's amazing. Someone should run some classic custom games with this.
I'm actually really excited for this
Se7ensins has done more to negatively affect matchmaking across all games they've been involved in. Kornman has busted his ass and stayed respectful of the game. His Halo Wars stuff is intentionally built to not work on Live.
I'd rather give him a couple of bucks for his work. Also, I'd imagine the nature of the scripting means it'd be quite hard for them to distinguish what's a 343-made script and what's a script made by someone else. You could probably check for parameters that shouldn't exist if made in-game, but scripting is a bit of a stretch.
Heck, Bungie's default Spire forge variant has more Hill Markers than you can actually place.
edit: also, that community has made tons of money off selling modded lobbies in CoD.. so they don't have much room to complain about someone charging for tools.

An infographic will be coming soon, but I had an idea on how to handle loadouts and all of that.
Ranked: No Sprint, AAs or Armor Mods.
CE Magnum and 2x Frag starts; CE Magnum's aim assist range is changed to that of the Halo 4 Light Rifle. Likewise with the Phase Rifle (power of a DMR, handling of a Beam Rifle).
Your base has:
1 BR (4-shot kill)
1 Carbine (6-shot kill)
1 Light Rifle (aim assist range reduced to that of the BR and Carbine)
1 Phase Rifle
Around your base, at the most there is:
1 ODST SMG
1 CE Plasma Rifle
1 Oscillator
1 Plasma Pistol
Social: Custom Loadouts enabled. You can have two weapons, and can pick from BR / Carbine / Light Rifle / ODST SMG / CE Plasma Rifle / Oscillator. Grenades can be 2x Frag, 2x Pulse, or 1x Each. In Big Team Sprint may be enabled. No Armor Mods.

No idea. Hopefully we will know some more details soon.
If people on the internet need to do anything, it's not calm down.

Can things like strafe and player inertia be modified as well? Holy shit if so we need to run customs all day with 4 shot brs
Assuming all the rumors are true. I'll go PS4 or PC, I've never had a PlayStation mostly because I don't like the controller. But I think I could get used to it.

If I had to guess you use a USB stick.
Format it so it works with the Xbox and horizon probably saves the gametype to the USB and you just copy it to your Xbox.
Yeah, we're most likely just relying on modders to add their tweaked gametypes in Fileshares.
Should work without a modded box

Nowise, I will gift you Murder Miners if you get a gametype of mine up and running.
This.
This seems most likely. It's just the reverse of how we were getting screenshots before Waypoint could display them.
I wish 343/MS would accept it or nab it from him and release it officially.

So to use any of this you have to play modded games.

Why is everyone from HaloGaf on my list banned?

No one is going to get banned lol
You know this for sure...how? I thought having modded gametypes in your fileshare will get you fileshare banned.
They certainly have the infrastructure for it via XNA.
Probably not. We couldn't even get zooming back for Forge, and that was 343 having direct access to the biped data

How can one use this beautiful tool?! I have a Halo 4 LAN tonight and I got some modder friends that would love this!
I'm still not banned and a lot of modders publicly host modded maps and game types on their file share.
Then don't put it in your fileshare?

I'm using lordzedd forge map right now to recreate Headlong. I'm about 78% done with the map!

I'd assume descoping would be possible since it's still in-game. You'd just have to set the scope health threshold to 0 and disable flinching, if possible.
The part about war veterans not being able to play is a very good point. My dad was recently in Afghanistan and he said everyone at his station was having their SO's or family send them the latest COD or sports games so they could play them on their time off. With always on Xbox they won't be able to do that unless they stick with a 360.

This is great news, but we're still stuck with the limitations of Matchmaking or scavenging for Customs :[

They should come out with two variants and the other is Xbush 360. One is black and one is white. Xbama comes with a free game to control your own drones over any US state and Xbush comes with a free game where you look for WMD's in Iraq but all you find is oil.

When that Megalo update comes out... omg that changes everythinggggg.
And if they don't ban for sharing gametypes... This could really be something big.

So been busy lately and haven't followed Halogaf. Just saw the thread. Love the OT Booties. Great job. Also see everyone is discussing their future gaming choices. Guess we'll all have plenty of DestinyGaf on PS4. Can't wait for the fun to be had there.
