Halo 3 forge was all I did in middle school and early high school. Does this compare to Halo 3's forge? Because I was really, really disappointed with Halo 4's forge.
Dude, you couldn't even imagine some of the stuff you're capable of now.
For starters, there's tons of really small geometry pieces that let you create extremely intricate and detailed environments. Like, for example, the iconic corridor of the Tantive IV.
There's also something called "vehicle welding" that lets you attach geometry to ordinary vehicles, which has made for some phenomenally droll creations.
There's even scripting! Which is kinda okay, I guess. I mean, all it does is allow you to play the last level of Halo 3, get eaten by a whale, solve a mystery, play a board game, do simple arithmetic, or move the goddamn payload. Trivial stuff, really. ;3
'Course, only bummer is the PC servers people make aren't all that populated, and it's usually just CTF or Slayer on stock maps, or remakes of Blood Gulch or Valhalla or Sandtrap (though these remakes are incredible in and of themselves), so the only way you're guaranteed to have a full lobby is if you own an XBone, proper.
Still, it's pretty dang awesome for what it is. Hope this helps!
