Is HI Forge gonna be our Dreams?
Not to that level, but it may relatively feel like that within a Halo game.
Wasnât there a rumor that some of Project Spark developers are involved in Forge development?
I looked it up, I couldnât find specific confirmation but there was two studios who worked on Project Spark and one of them, Skybox Labs, worked on Halo 5 Forge and is also supporting Halo Infinite. So it seems like a safe bet.

Looks like around 100 employees from Certain Affinity are working on Tatanka. Looking forward to seeing it!

2 years working on it. He says there that they are âlead developersâ on it. Implying that they arnt the only ones working on it. Another support studio or perhaps 343 are helping a bit.
Infinite has a roadmap through June 27th of next year so I suspect it will be out after that. E3 reveal and release shortly after. Would give it almost 3 years of dev time for the more.

Did anyone see this, I know itâs a few months old so maybe I missed a discussion on it.
This is absolutely stunning. When we got that in engine reveal trailer for infinite a few years ago this is what I hoped for.
I still love infinite and think it looks fine for a cross gen game but once upon a time halo had cutting edge graphics (halo 2, and 4 come to mind). I would like to see them push graphics again. Just donât think itâs possible on the BLAM! Engine.
Tech demos always look nice

Quick reminder for the FOMO crowd: there are some cool skins and stuff as Twitch drops for HCS this weekend.
Some of them start today so check it out but the good stuff is coming this weekend.

Iâm sure it is superior to Slipspace, technically speaking, because as youâve said itâs not attempting to be compatible with CPUs designed in 2012 and manufactured in 2013. And you can just see it in the video.
But the other part of this is the art direction and atmosphere created and I think you can see something very comparable in Forge.
Atmospheric scattering was turned up here and the sunlightâs colour temperature was made to look more Earth-like at sunset.
One thing youâll notice about Infiniteâs sunsets is that the color temperature of the light isnât the same as we see on earth mainly because it wouldnât be, scientifically speaking. At the same time youâll notice the nights donât get as dark as they do on Earth for the same reason, But this also has positive gameplay ramifications where you can see a bit more. All this said, I do wish that the atmosphere looked more earth-like because to most people that would look more ârealisticâ (even though it technically isnât) because it aligns with our reality and what we see on Earth. Secondly because previous Halo games didnât aim for this level of realism and night levels on Halo rings were dark and sunsets looked like Earth sunsets.
So when Forge comes out just turn up the atmospheric scattering (might be listed as âfogâ, Iâm not sure I havenât looked at the videos that closely and the one time I tried the person was going through the menus really fast with compression ruining the text) and change the sunlight color temperature to around 2000 K. Youâre going to get a similar effect. Youâre going to capture the same feel and atmosphere.
Oh and turn up the intensity of the sunlight. I noticed it was a little subdued in Infinite. Again it is likely due to maintaining accuracy.
This is so hype man. Canât wait for that reveal!!!
I miss this soooooooo much

Really like the way they would go about finding highest tier loot. Instead of just finding them at any random places like in any other BR, you would have to actually do something to get it.

Man I hope they nail this BR mode.
Donât make it too over complicated by trying to be too different.

It seems different, but not too complicated though. And I think Certain Affinity will make this mode work well.

Im very curious to see how they are going to balance all the weapons and how much shield players have versus the arena/btb gameplay
It will need to play very differently for a BR to work much like Warzone does to regular CoD
and yeah, all the leaks make it sound quite different compared to other BRs which is usually a good thing but on the other hand people want the bare basics when it comes to BRâs,100 people on a big map, last man standing wins, no objectives, just find loot and kill
So hopefully they can provide that too

Yeah, curious to see how that works out.
Halo 3 maps coming to infinite tommorow Iâve heard. Will see if itâs bullshit. Tommorow is halo 3âs 15 year anniversary.
They are supposed to be forge maps, and narrows is one of them.
- saw it on Twitter, from the api leakers.
