Anyone else upset that forge won't release alongside Halo Reach?
Being one of the originals of Halo Reach, I enjoyed both the casual and competitive aspects of the game. I think they had a great balance between the two. Now I will be enjoying playlists such as swat and team oriented gamemodes, however, I feel as if the custom game scene is what gave Reach the edge in logentivity, and what made the game never feel old. It boasted the strongest forge for making maps, and a great gamemode editor which made all these fun custom games possible.
Personally I am surprised that there isn't more outrage that forge wont be releasing with Reach at the same time. Now I'm not talking about serious players, we will get what we want in that aspect when they roll out the big boy game modes, but personally I feel as if forge is a core concept and what made Reach what it was.
What am I afraid of? Well, My friends along with my old community were in it for the custom
games mostly. I'm afraid that, with Forge coming out along the time that Halo 3 or 4 comes out, (as stated by Ske7ch from 343) that Reach will end up losing a lot of interest as MCC starts to progress. If 343 says they will "release the game when it's ready" for the sake of making sure the game is "where it needs to be," then I'm at a loss why they don't wait a while longer until they are able to release it with forge. I know that Ske7ch had stated that there is a lot that goes in to porting forge over to the PC, but I honestly would rather that the game comes out IN FULL, so that we get everything that made Reach so great. If Microsoft is worried that xbox one sales did so poorly, then they need to make darn sure that their best shot at PC is everything it needs to be.
Honestly, I was outraged at the fact forge will be released so late on in the collection. I'm not saying it's not going to be worth getting the game, I just don't want to see the Reach casual fan base end up moving on to something else, and sticking with it after Forge comes out.
Any like minded peeps out there?

Pretty sure console is still going to get it at launch, and because of that, they will still be able to make maps which PC players will be able to play because files transfer.
I don't suppose that means we could launch Regular Reach on xbox 360, and transfer maps from there?
Nope.
Do you know if old file transfer system will work? Or will all darth humans maps and others go to waste? And can you transfer maps and the like from 360/ transfer from 360 to X1, then to PC?
You can't transfer from 360.
Just, you cant transfer anything at all ( :( ) , or you cant transfer directly to PC when it comes out.
So the transferring will only be compatible from X1 to PC? R.I.P the notorious hot persuit map and gamemode and other shiz like that then. If this is true and i feel sad enough and the maps are still on my 360 ill probably spend hours remaking them
Where did you hear this at? Do you have a source? It sucks that Reach on xbox 1 is the only way for custom games as opposed to reach on 360.
It's been talked about plenty of times in the past. 343 have the tools to transfer maps over but they won't be available to the public.
