Forge coming to PC
Originally releasing back in Halo 3, Forge was a concept that allowed players to let their creative juices flow through customizing, sharing and saving maps to use in custom games. Acting as map variants of sorts, Forge served to let fans make tweaks desired to the gameplay and surrounding environment. Community members have created memorable custom games using Forge, such as a life size version of Jenga, a rendition of Rocket League using Ghost vehicles, and even shooting your way out of a giant toilet. This particular mode had eluded PC gamers up until now, as the Anvil’s Legacy update brings Forge mode to Windows 10 PC.
Having been announced back in May, Forge has finally arrived on the PC platform. The level-creation mode comes with full support for mouse and keyboard, with object manipulation and placement and high 4K resolution displays. Creators will then be able to download created levels on both PC and Xbox One platforms. This is a major boost for the Halo 5 game and the franchise itself, opening the door for new possibilities between the two platforms, which is also aided by the new content browser between the two.
Anvil’s Legacy adds a simple method for Xbox One players to access Forge-created content using the content browser, bridging the gap between PC and console to access each others content regardless of which one it was created on. For further added convenience, Anvil’s Legacy introduces the new Halo App, allowing Windows 10 users to launch into their Halo collection of games, as well as gaining access to the latest news and videos in the Halo universe. The best way to sum up the importance of this latest update is that bringing two opposing platforms together like never before.
