How to Play Forge on Halo

The Forge mode, first seen in "Halo 3," is an amazing creative tool for players to build unique experiences with custom maps. In "Halo Reach" the Forge mode was given an overhaul with more options and features. What can be done in Forge and how it is used is only limited by the player's imagination. The amazing things built from the Forge toolset include expansive maps, intuitive weapon placement in existing levels and detailed sculpture art. Just like any match of "Halo," Forge is more fun with friends.
