Couldn’t find this anywhere on the net, and took me a while to figure out myself so thought I’d explain just how to unlock the small “visual flair” that Bungie talked about before the launch of Reach.
Halo Reach - Forge World
Bungie recently took the wraps off the Forge editor at Comic Con for their upcoming title Halo Reach, it is a huge improvement over the previous version included with Halo 3, which was safe to say quite clunky and restrictive. It is now a very clean, very usable editor with fine-tuned controls and a better object collision system allowing for more control over objects and the way they interact with each other.
But what people may not know is that the Halo Community itself wanted this, a long time ago and what a group of hackers achieved in 2004 was a map editor for the original Halo (xBox) – all well before Halo 3’s in-game version which shipped September 25th 2007.
