Doc's Advice #7: Endless Possibilities


Guten Tag, Reachers. Today's topic is kind of general. However, it is one of the main reasons why I prefer Halo over others multiplayer shooting games like Call of Duty. In both of these games, you can kill people both online and in campaign. In both, you can get all your friends together and play in a custom game, as well as edit emblems and clan tags to personalize your character. But, what Halo has that Call of Duty doesn't is Forge.

The possibilities are plentiful in this game type. Halo: Reach did a great job of improving on something already great by adding Forge World - a blank canvas where you can add structures, weapons, vehicles, and scenery to your liking. It is miles of vast land mass of varying terrain, such as islands, mountains, grassy plains, and seas, just waiting to be tinkered with.

Whatever you can imagine, you can most likely do. You can make an intense race course for all your friends to enjoy with all sorts of twists, turns, obstacles, and traps. You can create a battleground with sniper towers, long tunnels, bunkers, bridges, and corners to play with your friends and fight it out on something different than the normal maps. You can even just mess around in there, like splattering unsuspecting victims with a staircase or bridge while you are in forge bot. You can make a golf course and hit the links using the new golf clubs and Mongooses for golf carts.

So I say to you all, spend some time in Forge. Take a break from Matchmaking or Campaign and make stuff. Let your creativity run wild, imagine great things, and build the map you have always wanted
