What will you forge?

343 Industries are taking a lot of steps to ensure fans that the return of Master Chief in Halo 4 will be a majestic one. We have covered everything from the pre-order bonuses, some epic gameplay and footage from the multiplayer.

Recently, at the Rooster Teeth Expo, fans of the creation elements in Halo 4 were able to be a part of the Forge preview. The preview included changes such as dynamic lighting that will automatically adjust shadows to incorperate the surrounding environment once you have placed your bunker or bridge, and a lock-on feature that will give you the opportunity to keep the object locked in place until which point you choose to move it, or leave it. Check out the video for a more in-depth preview for Halo 4's new Forge mode.

Are you ready to get those creative juices flowing and forge some maps of monolithic proportions? You can get your hands on Halo 4 when it is released November 6th.

I love Forge mode, I spent hrs and hrs creating maps....Just to never have anyone play on them. They need to have a way like Trials to play and share maps easily with the community. Maybe they do and I just dont remember. Love Forge though. Love it!

Looks good, but as others have said; we need the option to change the textures on the forge pieces so they don't all end up looking the same,

Forging in Reach was just annoying. At least in Halo 3 I had decent options with most of the maps, while in Reach all other maps besides Forge World had nothing structural. Yay, pallets. Also nothing but Forerunner buildings gets very old very quickly.

Love it!I used to spend hours searching through all the custom maps for Halo 3 on Bungie.net, then just sit and play hundreds of these maps with friends in custom games, Halo 3 hands down (in my opinion) is/was the best multiplayer experience out there, certainly was for me and still is.

I believe they set the fountain but maybe colour change or even nature stuff like trees, bushes it all makes it even bigger to create more maps that is more unique, Halo Reach Forge was good but it was the same colour and you couldnt really do a lot, and a feature to put map to the community rather than just friends would be a good move by 343

love forge, one of the reasons why halo is still the best shooter franchise.

hope they add a "delete all" or "clear the map" button. so annoying running around and deleting everything.
p.s. - fyi the "delete all of this object" function in reach didnt work for shit
P.S. - Im a mutual fan of all game systems. P.S.S. - Wii and 3DS arent game systems.

I hope theres a stronger community in Halo 4 than in Reach. Not that Reach's was bad but in Halo 3 your custom games lobby that you just created could turn into a full lobby of 16 within like 10 minutes. I hope that can happen again, all looks promising though.
