Forge Features

The time has come for another bi-weekly instalment of Forge Features!



We’re on a bit of an original trilogy binge in this issue, starting aboard the UNSC Pillar of Autumn and working our way across games from there. So, bring yourself up to combat alert alpha and let’s take a look at some community creations.

“Cortana, all I need to know is did we lose them?”



Not yet, you haven’t! Multiple Covenant vessels are inbound and it’s up to you to gather as many of your friends as possible to jump into Wasps and defend the UNSC Pillar of Autumn (stunningly recreated in Forge) from attacking Banshees.

Forget those adjustments to your A2 scope, there’s a station to defend. Arrival is a map that has been spiritually and aesthetically based on Halo 2’s Cairo Station—it even has an antimatter charge!

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a Halo game in possession of a multiplayer must be in want of a Forerunner-themed map in a box canyon.



With two opposing bases that have been based (heh!) on the barrier towers from Halo 3’s classic mission The Covenant, and featuring a downed Scarab that is being reclaimed by nature, you’d have to be pretty insolent to not try this out with up to 24 of your friends!

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Super_Fiesta.jpg" alt="A Spartan wearing Mark V armor is running towards the camera while holding a Scatterbound Heatwave." class="wp-image-66708" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Super_Fiesta.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Super_Fiesta-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Super_Fiesta-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Super_Fiesta-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Super_Fiesta-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Super_Fiesta-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MODE UPDATES</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Super Fiesta</h3>



The party is just getting started. The fan-favorite mode from Halo 5 will make its explosive return with this update as campaign’s unique weapon variants and fully upgraded Equipment enter the Arena.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Ranked King of the Hill</h3>



Based on player feedback, the Hill will now spawn-in faster at the start of the match and no longer have a “wind-up” time when a player initially enters it.



Developer Note:



To help facilitate more meaningful choices at the beginning of a King of the Hill match we decided to reduce the timer for the Initial Hill. This now requires teams to be more thoughtful in establishing their starting strategies as teams now have to decide between scavenging weapons and equipment and scoring points in the Hill. 



Based on feedback, we felt there was an opportunity to make the decision to hop in and out of a Hill more impactful. With base settings, players engaging in this behavior weren’t giving up enough as they could hop out of the hill without losing it if they returned quickly enough. This could also lead to some ambiguity around Hill ownership. This change should make the state of the Hill clearer for players.



<ul><li>The initial hill spawn has been reduced from 15 seconds to 5 seconds </li><li>The wind-up period to score has been removed</li><li>Players can score right away when stepping into the hill</li><li>This allows players to quickly score while maneuvering grenades and avoiding damage all up</li></ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Disruptor_2.jpg" alt="A Spartan wearing Rakshasa armor is firing the Disruptor while walking towards their target." class="wp-image-66666" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Disruptor_2.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Disruptor_2-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Disruptor_2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Disruptor_2-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Disruptor_2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Disruptor_2-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sandbox Balance Tuning</h2>



There will also be a few updates that should help to keep the sandbox in a good state until Season 4 rolls around.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Disruptor</h3>



Overall, we wanted to reduce the complexity of this weapon—which currently Supercombines, deals damage over time (DOT), slows Spartans, chain reacts to other players, etc.—while still ensuring that it could be successful in combat. The Disruptor will have an increased rate of fire and Supercombine damage, but will no longer deal DOT and its chain reaction distance will be halved.



Developer note: 



The goal of this change was to reduce the complexity of the weapon’s behavior, focusing the utility on the Supercombine detonation and shock chaining and their ability to damage nearby players. By upping the direct damage from Supercombines and increasing the Rate of Fire (ROF), it leans the Disruptor more towards a combat pistol with a straightforward utility.



Changes: 



<ul><li>Removed Damage Over Time </li><li>Reduced chain distance from 5 World Units (wu) to 2.5 wu </li><li>Increased Supercombine damage from 60 to 70 </li><li>Increased ROF from 4.285 to 5 rounds per second </li></ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Spike Grenades</h3>



We noticed that with its current tuning, Spike Grenades were dealing high damage but not requiring as much precision as a Frag or Plasma Grenade. To address this, we’re bringing the behavior of Halo Infinite’s Spike Grenade more in line with Halo 3’s Spike Grenade by tightening the explosion cone and reducing the damage radius while increasing the number of flechettes. 



Developer note: 



The goal here was to enhance the directionality of Spikes, requiring tighter precision but better rewarding good placement. With double the flechettes, but a shorter range and tighter cone, they will cause focused, directional damage where placed. Out in the open, away from enemies, they won’t be as effective as frags. Sticking them on walls that are facing nearby enemies will inflict the highest possible damage, being lethal in one shot if a player is directly in front of (or on top of) one. 



Changes: 



<ul><li>Increased number of flechette submunitions that are released on detonation from 8 to 16 </li><li>Reduced flechette travel distance from 5 World Units (wu) to 3.5wu </li><li>Reduced Area of Effect (AOE) damage radius from 3.2 wu to 2 wu </li><li>Reduced AOE damage amount from 300 damage to 160 </li><li>Adjusted flechette bounce behavior to deviate less</li></ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Spike_Grenades_Render.jpg" alt="Renders of two Spike Grenades on a Banished background." class="wp-image-66680" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Spike_Grenades_Render.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Spike_Grenades_Render-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Spike_Grenades_Render-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Spike_Grenades_Render-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Spike_Grenades_Render-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Spike_Grenades_Render-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Dynamo Grenades </h3>



Similar to the Spike Grenade, we wanted to make sure the Dynamo Grenade was being used more deliberately during gameplay. To do this, we’ve reduced the area of effect (AOE), reduced the chain reaction distance, and removed its movement slowdown properties while slightly increasing its damage potential. 



Developer note: 



The goal with this change is to tighten the area of effect, requiring more thoughtful placement with a higher reward for direct hits. The previous tuning would damage enemies well outside the immediate combat area, feeling overly generous and hard to escape. With higher damage per tick, but a shorter radius, Dynamos create a more potent but contained threat. Use them in corners where enemies have no escape to cause max damage, or to force enemies away from a route. 



Changes: 



<ul><li>Reduced shock Area of Effect (AOE) distance from 3.5 wu (World Units) to 2 wu </li><li>Reduced shock chain distance from 5 wu to 2 wu </li><li>Increased shock damage per burst from 18 to 21 </li><li>Removed movement stun from shock damage </li><li>Lowered arming time from 0.65 to 0.5 seconds </li><li>Reduced delay between shock damage pulses from 0.3 to 0.25 seconds </li><li>Added one additional shock damage pulse at 2.5 seconds </li></ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Shroud Screen</h3>



In Ranked Arena, the Shroud Screen will be updated to have 1 charge upon pickup.



Developer note: 



The goal of this change was to reduce the total impact Shroud Screen was having for high skilled players without changing the effectiveness of the equipment itself. With this change, players will be required to be more strategic with how they decide to use the Shroud Screen.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Shroud_Screen.jpg" alt="A Spartan wearing Mark VII armor is starting to launch their Shroud Screen." class="wp-image-66694" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Shroud_Screen.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Shroud_Screen-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Shroud_Screen-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Shroud_Screen-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Shroud_Screen-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/HI_Shroud_Screen-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Forge</h2>



The May Update will bring a nice quality of life update to Forge in the form of PC screenshot uploading and numerous bug fixes. This includes improvements to the Z-fighting movement controls, Forge monitor movement speed, and more.



To improve the stability of script-heavy creations, individual script brains will be updated to have a 128 node cap. Fear not though, existing creations above that limit will still work, they will just not be able to add any additional nodes. You’ll also still be able place multiple script brains, to make sure you still have access to the full power of Halo Infinite’s scripting system.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">FPS Counter on Xbox</h2>



One quality of life update that we’re excited about is the addition of an FPS Counter option on Xbox consoles. Not only does this provide great contextual information for you while playing in a match, but it’s also vital for Forgers looking to build maps that have steady performance (framerate). Allowing Forgers this extra bit of insight should help them create quality maps that feel even more smooth to slay on.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">UXUI</h2>



In this update, we’re also excited to be rolling out a few highly requested improvements to our menus. Notably, we’ll be making the Customs Browser accessible from the “Custom Game” option right on the main menu. When clicking in, you’ll be able to choose between checking out what the Customs Browser has to offer and starting up your own Custom Game.



The matchmaking menu will also receive an update which will allow twice as many playlists to be visible at once—from 5 playlists to 10—before needing to scroll down. Though this change means the playlist images will be moved into each specific playlist’s details, presenting more playlist variety up front is worth it to the players. 



Last, but certainly not least, a selection of bundles from previous seasons will be able to be purchased through the customization menu. When checking out an item that was part of an eligible Bundle, players will now be presented with an option to view and purchase that Bundle from the Shop. 



Please note: previous season HCS bundles and current season bundles are not currently available for purchase.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Resolved Issues</h2>



We’ve outlined a few improvements throughout this blog, but we had several more that we wanted to call out before wrapping things up.  



Here’s a quick look at them: 



<ul><li>Various server and client stability improvements (reduced server and game crashes) </li><li>Various Theater / Observer improvements and bug fixes </li><li>Halo Infinite will no longer crash on launch when attempting to play on a PC that is below the minimum specifications. This was an unintended bug that caused the game to crash before showing the below minimum specification warning message.  <ul><li>Players can once again choose to continue past this warning message, but the expected functionality and visual experience are not guaranteed. </li><li>To learn more about PC hardware specifications, please visit our <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408731548180-PC-hardware-specs-and-drivers-for-Halo-Infinite" target="_blank">PC Hardware Specs and Drivers guide on the Halo Support site</a>. </li></ul></li><li>Addressed an issue causing Wasp “gun jamming” when playing with the Bumper Jumper control scheme </li><li>Cutscenes should no longer replay when relaunching the game </li></ul>



That’s all we’ve got for this preview but remember a full version of the patch notes with additional details will go live on the Halo Support site when the update drops next Wednesday, May 10. And, as always, be sure to give <a href="https://twitter.com/Halo">@Halo</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/HaloSupport">@HaloSupport</a> a follow on Twitter to ensure you get the latest Halo news as it happens.



Until then, we’ll see you online for the Site Unseen event!

SITE UNSEEN PRESS KIT

So… what’s behind the Live Fire door?



When Season 3 kicked off in March, we saw Spartan Dinh awaken after having his memories invaded by the Banished AI Iratus. We met with Dinh as he handed over his well-worn M392 Bandit, telling us to get good with the weapon and then come and find him. Meanwhile, during a live fire exercise, an errant grenade detonated by a door and revealed the symbol of the Office of Naval Intelligence…

If you need a catch up, you can find the Season 3 cinematics in-game or on our YouTube channel.

But now, the time has come to link back up with Spartan Dinh and explore the depths of the Spartan Academy in the Site Unseen event, which brings with it a free new 10-tier Event Pass full of customization rewards for your MIRAGE IIC armor. Complete Event Challenges to level up your Event Pass—you know the drill!



Let’s take a look at what you’ll be getting…

The Site Unseen event runs for two weeks, from May 2-16, and will see the return of the New BTB Unlimited playlist where Super Escalation Slayer will get the spotlight. Season 3’s new mode, Escalation Slayer, just got even better.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">HOW TO VIEW CINEMATICS</h2>



Two new cinematics are available with the Site Unseen event. The first is available from the start, and the second is unlocked by completing the Event Pass.



You can view the Site Unseen cinematics by pressing Y from the main menu to open up the screen that shows your Battle Pass, Story Event, and Challenges.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="2560" height="1440" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/SiteUnseenCinematics-A-scaled.jpg" alt="Halo Infinite screenshot of Echoes Within menu showing Battle Pass, Story Event, and Challenges" class="wp-image-66423" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/SiteUnseenCinematics-A-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/SiteUnseenCinematics-A-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/SiteUnseenCinematics-A-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/SiteUnseenCinematics-A-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/SiteUnseenCinematics-A-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/SiteUnseenCinematics-A-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/SiteUnseenCinematics-A-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /></figure>



 From there, hit X (you’ll see it listed as “Season Intro”) which will take you to this screen.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="2560" height="1440" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/03/Cin-A-scaled.jpg" alt="Screenshot of Halo Infinite Season 3: Echoes Within Cinematic screen for the Recap and Intro" class="wp-image-61834" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/03/Cin-A-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/03/Cin-A-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/03/Cin-A-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/03/Cin-A-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/03/Cin-A-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/03/Cin-A-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/03/Cin-A-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /></figure>

As mentioned in yesterday’s <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Community Update (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/site-seeing" target="_blank">Community Update</a>, we’ve officially rolled out a new process to ensure your hard work can be seen by 343 and considered for matchmaking. Thanks to the tagging system in-game, all you need to do finish your creation, attach a screenshot to it, and then use the appropriate tags when saving your map or mode. 



Here’s a list of the tags in-game right now:

Once you apply one of the new 343ask tags, our team will be able to find it and give your creation a look.

Would you look at that, it’s time again for another issue of Forge Features to spotlight a new batch of community creations that have caught our monitoring eye and made their way to the 343 Recommended tab of the content browser! 



Just earlier this week, Halo Infinite’s matchmaking was enhanced and refreshed with some new community maps that you can find out more about in our Community Collection Update blog. 



And now, if you’re looking to level up your Custom Games nights, let’s explore a remake roulette of campaign and multiplayer spaces throughout the series in Halo Infinite’s Forge.

A stunningly faithful recreation of the courtyard of ONI SWORD Base from Halo: Reach, which was present in the campaign and as a Firefight map. This iteration also includes some Covenant ships glassing the planet in the background.

You’ve fought your way through the courtyard, but you’ve got to fall back inside SWORD Base for the skirmishes to come. I hope you brought your Grappleshot… and stop camping in that elevator room—yes, you know who you are!

That wraps up another issue of Forge Features, which means it’s time to jump back into Halo Infinite for some Community Collection fun—tie up those Event Challenges for Fracture: FIREWALL, and head into Custom Games to try out some of these fantastic map remakes.



Oh, and go make some more cool stuff in Forge!

Community Cartography 009

Forge Features: April 14, 2023

The Community Collection playlist in Halo Infinite has been updated with new Forge maps from our veritable community of Master Builders!



When we launched the Community Collection playlist back in February, players got to experience maps both familiar and new that had been made by folks in the community using Forge—from a Banished-ified version of Damnation, to a UNSC-themed remix of Midship, and so on.



We stated that this playlist would be evergreen (meaning it would be sticking around in Halo Infinite for the long haul) and would be updated with more community-made content in the future. That day has now come, so let’s get you acquainted with the new arenas you’ll be stepping into.

Solution is a map that showcases just how far Forgers are able to push the density of detail with their maps while also offering a truly great gameplay experience. Just remember that there are enemies to fight, flags to grab, and strongholds and hills to capture as well as sights to see!

Evoking the neon-lit cityscapes we have experienced and loved throughout the series, from the nighttime streets of New Mombasa to the chaotic marketplace of Plaza, Vagabond looks like a place that fits right into the Halo universe.

Similar to Vagabond, Curfew centers the urban aesthetics of Halo 3: ODST in this city precinct that feels like a genuinely lived-in space. The Superintendent is even there to remind you to KEEP IT CLEAN, so be sure to pick up your spent bullet casings and please do not litter the floor with grenades.

These maps all join the existing maps in the playlist to add even more variety to the beloved Community Collection experience. Speaking of the existing maps, Absolution, Perilous, Salvation, and Starboard have all received updates from their creators to fix various issues, improve readability, or improve performance.



In addition to these new maps, you’ll find that other playlists in Halo Infinite also now include a selection of maps from the Community Collection.



Curfew has now been lifted, so if you vagabonds are looking for a solution for how to spend your time, jump into the Community Collection playlist today!

You know the rules. Get in a vehicle and stay alive within the bowl as parts of it disappear over time and hazards (like kill balls) come into play. Last one driving wins!

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">COMMUNITY CREATIONS</h2>



In what is quite possibly the coolest thing you will see this week, UNBROKEN ONYX has released a video of their remake of the epic final Warthog run at the end of Halo 3.

This remake is not only incredibly faithful to the original experience, but also includes the other vehicles you can use in this section of the game—namely, the Mongoose, Ghost, and Chopper.

If <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="VidGamesPete (opens in a new tab)" href="https://twitter.com/VidGamesPete" target="_blank">VidGamesPete</a> continues to put out awesome tutorials, I’ll continue to feature them. His most recent video helps show how you can build an interactable (or hackable) door in Forge. With this tutorial, you can essentially recreate the loot caves from Fragmentation all on your own.
