PAX IGN Forge Island video (Available for dowload.)

It may be late to the party but I know I want to rebuild on one of the island plateaus. http://ca.ign.com/videos/2013/03/23/halo-4-forge-island-map-gameplay-pax-east

Halo 3 was two titles ago.  The gaming landscape has changed considerably in that time, sir.

You can choose to play as long as you want.  The peer to peer still works.  You can even still play H2 if you wanted, on PC online.

well at this point it is all we got. Yes it is all very painfull slow baby steps. But what else are we going to play?

 

I have been trying COD. If you think host is bad in H4, it is not even in the same universe as BLOPS 2. 

 

I mean they have put in a bunch of great features in blops 2, but it does not matter when you are on the wrong side of host and he/she goes 35/2. 40/4 and the skys are filled with killer drones, warthogs, etc.

 

To be honest I am tired of all the trolling and fanboying. They are both equally draining. Maybe we could just find some common ground and play. Myself included.

I know what you're talking about. I tried to play blops 2 before Halo 4 because I don't get into it as much as I do Halo (and therefore hoped to be able to keep it casual), but it was very obvious I was losing fights I felt I should be winning. And no I don't feel I'm this exceptional player I have no problem admitting if the other person is just better than me, this didn't feel like that.  And it was almost every game. When we play Halo we seem to "migrate hosts" a lot which I think might just be our connection cause sometimes we'll come back and the game will have progressed.  But at least usually when I am in game it seems to run ok...

Personally, I'm giving Gears: Judgment a try. I feel I get less angry when a new developer drastically changes a game I'm less passionate about.

I didn't know I needed 3 huge flat islands..? But grateful for not needing to burn-up half my budget on floors. Anxious to see what folks make!!

We need UNSC aircraft now... Hornet, Falcon...?

Exactly, I don't know why a flat space wasn't included in the first place.

I think that they (Bungie) thought it wasn't a huge deal if they made it so you could sink structures into the ground to effectively make them flat.

Playing Halo titles for 3 years is a thing of the past due to M$ wanting to release a new title every 2 years.

Gonna have to read up/watch the PAX panel to see if there's any other MP info.
Kynan and Vic made Forge Island post-launch in their spare time as a response to feedback from the Forge community. Definitely wasn't something cut from the release.

You can't play as long as you want, as evidence by only being able to play Halo 2 online on the PC.  Halo 3 servers will be the next to be shut down.  It's just a matter of when M$ decides to do it.

Islands are very flat, and almost level. Distance between is quite far. The overall space is massive, guessing at least 30 blue grids accross. Lots of open sky, you are allowed to just-touch the water, not go under. Nobody can say "not enough room to build" anymore. TREES! there are trees, 3 diff. heights. A couple new giant rocks as well.

Curious addition of a Green Screen. Intended for color-key video masking for the Machinima community. It may work reallly well, for that.

[IMG]http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m155/kenjamin1/Forge%20Team/4-gsTEST-... [IMG]http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m155/kenjamin1/Forge%20Team/4-gsTEST-...

I tested it for "stills" using a screenshot. At first I expected it to work great, seemed to 'eat' light and shadows as I hoped. But, when editing the image I found a slight green glow left on the subject. I may need to check if being too near the green screen causes this. Kinda neat. Hope it works for you video wizards.
