Halo: Infinity custom mode leaked

The most popular player in the Halo series is undoubtedly its custom "forge mode". A video showing Halo: Infinity's upcoming forging mode has been leaked and quickly deleted, but enthusiastic netizens have saved it.

Judging from the leaks, halo: infinity's forging mode will be spectacular. Forge Mode, a mode first introduced by Bungie in Halo 3, is an editor that creates your own maps and game modes, designed to encourage players to customize creations and extend game life.

For Halo: Infinity, the forged mode is arguably more important than any previous generation: with 343 planning to use it as a long-running gaming platform, user-defined content is undoubtedly a key element of it.

Especially for console shooters, like Halo 3 of the year, forge mode is a very forward-looking and fully functional innovation: players can not only build maps and set rules, but also play with friends in real time, testing the configuration of any setting in real time. You can also share these creations with a wider community.

The video shows players placing objects in the game, from static walls to vehicles and player characters, some of which can be scaled in the open world. Various effects and triggers can be added, as well as a range of biomes (including snow, which has not yet officially appeared in the game), as well as weather effects. One thing that doesn't show up is enemy AI, which is really one of the big problems.

There are other leaked videos showing various aspects of the forged pattern, but the exact date of these versions is unclear. So, while this is indeed the "forge mode" of Halo: Infinity, it's unclear at what stage it is. Don't be surprised if the final published results are different.

44k is worried that criminals will use these 3D scans to make pirated model toys for profit, and describes this behavior as a "digital thief". In addition, some netizens have made some suggestions to prevent the 3D module from being stolen: the mirror is placed on the bottom, and the model body is covered with a transparent acrylic rubber box, which basically effectively prevents 3D scanning. It is also recommended not to use an automatic rotating base.
