I believe that is just when you play rts mode (or something like that)

There is no RTS mode. That was an example of a game variant people could play.

You only have a limited amount of money to buy things with, when you run out, you can't buy any more. It's always like that in Forge. You can't have an infinite amount of items.

So THATS what the price is for, haha (kept seeing it on the weapon pages). I'm so out of the loop with Halo 3.

No, he's talking about the Bungie weekly updates on the weapons, where they list weapon replacement costs.

Win. Custom powerups that can be placed on maps.

I beleive that in the 2006 Halo 3 EGM, they mentioned custom powerups, but cool all the same.
At first I thought Forge would ruin the game, but now I think it will be great

Dissolution241 · Post by **Dissolution241** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 11:59 am

Oh yeah, should probably mention that the budget and cost of items in forge is in $ and that it doesn't cost very much to place objects. At least in the IMAX preview, you had about a $200 budget, a Scorpion cost $20, Shotgun $2.

And in relation to the article, that's awesome that you can set up checkpoints to create your own Race gametype.

you could do that in the beta, but you could only do it on high ground and snow bound because you couldn't place new powerups, only edit the existing.
