Forge mode wasn’t ready in time forHalo 5: Guardians‘ launch, but it’s here now. The map creation sandbox debuts with some 1,700 objects and will continue to change as 343 Industries takes in feedback from players. Knowing how ridiculously good people have gotten with these tools in prior games, I bet we’ll see a bunch of impressive stuff out of the holiday break.

Today’s “Cartographer’s Gift” update also adds SPNKr rocket launchers, several maps (one for Warzone, one for Overgrowth, and two for Big Team Battle), and more in-depthcontrol options. Well, that, and a ton of other smaller but still important things. Plus fixes for existing content.
