Forge 2.0 lets you customize everything in Halo: Reach photo

Bungie just held their panel at San Diego Comic-Con where they've revealed a new mode for Firefight that lets you play as the Covenant while others will be playing as Spartans. Another new mode -- called "Gruntpocalypse" -- has you up against waves of Grunts. Additionally, all of the maps for Firefight will be taken from the single-player campaign.

Another addition to Halo: Reach is Forge 2.0 and it's going to offer you a lot more customization features than ever before. Don't like that rock? Take it out then! Yup, you now have control over a map's scenery along with the bases. Teleporters can be manipulated to any size too and you can have vehicles get teleported through, including the newly revealed Fork Lift. Yes, a Fork Lift. It beeps when you back it up. Yup.

The new Forge sounds awesome. People already managed some insane maps with the old one, I can't wait to see what this one produces!

This game is shaping up quite nicely. I may actually buy a new Halo game now (ODST was just Halo 3 without what made Halo 3 somewhat unique... why did they make it again?)

Really seems like this game is going to be a nice step up from Halo 3.

All I want to know is... does Forge 2.0 customize Firefight maps?

I don't get it. How does Bungie keep coming up with more random stuff to add to Reach? $10 says the next reveal will be a Cortana dating sim.

@ dreamscape

I doubt it. It's possible but firefight has a bunch of AI coding whereas forge is mostly just object and physics. then again if it's good AI they should be able to just be dropped into it. but I'm not at bungie so idk.
