Is there a Halo Reach wiki site? I really have no clue about all the features or what Forge even means. I'd like to read up on it before the game comes out. |

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Forge That's the only site I know about. It gives a description of the original Halo 3's Forge. Basically Halo 3's was a map editor (Not a map maker like Far Cry or TF2's). You go into a special game type called Forge mode, where it allows you to edit the maps already in the game. You can add or remove things that would normally be there in a matchmaking gametype (Vehicles, Weapons, Spawn Points and Scenery objects) The Scenery objects were used by the community to make bases and other crazy things. (Like giraffe said, Jenga) But the ideas were hard to accomplish and really limited. With one of the DLC updates Halo 3 got, it added small maps that were specially designed for Forge. Maps that were indoors where you could remove everything and have a completely empty open canvas to work with. It also added a variety of new objects like Walls and things like that. This made Halo 3's forge into a mini-mapmaker, since every map could be completely redesigned and made unique. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-JfgPNOPdw#t=01m24s This shows a little bit of the map I was talking about.^^ The next DLC did the same thing and expanded on the idea of Forge. Essentially Halo Reach's Forge is too a map editor. But that's in the lightest sense. Bungie decided that instead trying to mold Forge around Halo's stock maps. Why not make one HUGE map dedicated to forging? And that's what they did. They also fixed everything that was wrong with Halo 3s forge and more. Basically that video that I posted was just them showing off that huge map. They demonstrated how it's so advanced they they made remakes of a few old Halo 2 maps almost identically Here's an interview about Forge world. http://www.joystiq.com/2010/07/23/halo-rea...ht-versus-mode/ Really long response to a simple question but whatever. Edit: I forgot to mention that you can save maps and download others to play. Bungie is going to have a community matchmaking playlist where you can play the best hand picked maps. (They'll add new ones constantly) |

Thanks for writing all that. Seems like a pretty cool mode. I know Reach is going to have things new to the Halo series, such as armors, jetpacks, etc. I would like to read up on that stuff as well. |

There are 5 Armor abilities. Each one has a small meter that determines how much you have left. They all recharge in a few seconds besides Armor Lock. That takes like 20 seconds. - Evade allows you to roll left, right, forward or backwards. 2 Rolls until your meter has to charge. You roll faster than you can walk so it's good to get around the map that way. You can also roll and then jump right after to clear gaps. (Elites only) - Sprint allows you to sprint for a few seconds. Useful for making longer jumps. My personal favorite ability. (Spartans only) - Armor Lock makes you invincible for a few seconds. You can't move or shoot while you're doing this. When you come out of it any enemy within a few feet will lose their entire shield and make them a one shot hit. It was OP in the Beta.(Everyone) - Cloak allows you to be nearly invisible for a few seconds. The faster you move the more visible you become. If you remain completely still you're extremely hard to see. Any teammate or enemy around you while doing this will have their radar scrambled. (Everyone) - Jetpack lets you fly around the map for a few seconds. Recharges really fast. It can save you from falling damage. (Everyone) These were from the beta. So they're going to be tweaked to become more balanced in the full game. They're all kind of useful in different situations. But I normally prefer to use Sprint. http://sidewinderblog.com/2010/05/03/quick...rmor-abilities/ I personally wasn't a big fan of them all together. But there are matchmaking play lists that have them disabled. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgFy83gAL1Y...#!#t=03m26s New Armor ability. This was released like 2-3 weeks ago but I just officially found about it. (I thought it was fake) It's interesting. I can see it being really annoying though. |

It's funny to me that that Evade thing requires recharging. They should remove that so you can dodge roll perpetually to become those rolling droids with the force fields from Star Wars. |

The game looks and plays great. I'm just pissed about them removing the traditional 1-50 ranking system. It will make this game more casual really. The only competitive playlist is arena I believe and that resets your rank every month so it's still pretty retarded. |

Yeah I'm going to miss it too. They're still going to match you against people of similar skill, but they won't be showing ranks by number. Arena is pretty cool though. Instead of just giving you a number, it shows how you stand against the Halo community as a whole. Basically it does a much better job of showing skill levels imo. I still think Halo 2 had the best system out of the three

Forge World looks so awesome. Love how they just throw you a huge Halo1-like map to mess with. Hungy, First thing we do on release day is create 2Fort block-by-block.
