Halo 4’s Forge mode is being developed by Certain Affinity, the studio confirmed at the Rooster Teeth Expo on Saturday.
Forge is a fan favourite, and looks to be getting a nice set of new functionality in its Halo 4 implementation.
New Forge functionality and features:
- Lock placed objects on the map
- Moving your cursor over objects highlights them green and displays their name
- Easily duplicate objects on the map – ideal for building structures like roads
- Objects can be magnetised, allowing them to connect to other objects in pre-set ways
- Brand new lighting system that allows for shadows to be cast from and onto objects
- New Player Trait Zones let map makers alter player attributes in the map
- Grav Volume reverses gravity for anyone who steps in it
Certain Affinity might not be a famous name, but it has developed numerous map packs for Halo games down the years, before developing the dungeon crawler Crimson Alliance.
Halo 4 is released exclusively on Xbox 360 on November 6.
