This. Changes. Everything.
I wrote about Forge 2.0 last night, but I had no idea that this was what Bungie was going for. The amount of detail and creative freedom they're giving fans is absolutely insane. The new tools will make creating whatever you want easier than ever before.
My mind is blown. The possibilities are just endless now.
Halo: Reach will be out September 14 for the Xbox 360. Check out the newly revealed limited edition Halo: Reach themed Xbox 360 while you're at it.

He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

FC2's was pretty fun, especially for playing dominos with exploding barrels.
I will try my hardest to create a working CUBE or HYPERCUBE, filled with traps and everything. NEED.
From the vibe that I get from the video though, it looks like Forge 2.0 might only work on the "forgeworld" map, which would be a bit disappointing. At least the forgeworld map is INCREDIBLY Halo-y.
I didn't really like Forge in Halo 3 - after I messed around with it for a couple of days I got bored of it - but having the option to actually create maps from scratch on a nice big canvas is very appealing.
I think Reach will be the game that makes me buy my own 360.
My mind is fucking blown. The options are endless. I always thought Forge was a naturally limited tool, but knowing what mapmakers achieved even with such an impaired toolset... this changes everything. I need this game.
Was anyone getting flashes of Inception during that, because I was.
Forge 2.0 is pure creation.
It is blown.
This video and this feature alone may make me rethink my fall/holiday purchases all over again... :/ fffffuuuuu
Well played Bungie.
Am I missing something?
Hate the story.
Hate the characters.
Really hate the gameplay.
Can't stand the weapons.
Would like to play with forge though.
I have a feeling the guys at Halotracks.org will have a field day with this though.
this would be nice to play with.
Also, the bit where they made a Warthog the'hill' in a game of KotH was just awesome.
Also people seem to have missed the part where you can edit the size of the teleporter to allow vehicles through.
Like lakitu said, I'm worried this fantastic awesome new Forge mode will only be playable in the Forge World. The level is still big and huge and awesome, but it would have so much more longevity if you could use it on any level.
Also, the whole phasing thing, while awesome, seems to be begging for glitches and fucked up physics. Here's to hoping Reach does that more solidly than Halo 3.
Finally, @sexualchocolate, that was a mighty big step for you.
Kuwanjahbee - I missed that!
I dont even know how many hours of my childhood were wasted in Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3's Map editor.
This should be in more games. Imagine a map editor in Bad Company 2. Hole fuck, the thought alone makes me cum rainbows.

totally mind blowing.
