Those of us that are Undead realize that we probably won’t ever get Halo: Combat Evolved back. Specifically, we won’t get our physics and our pistol back.

But when we play a Halo game from Bungie, at times, something clicks in us. Something draws us in and captures our attention for hours per day and months per year.

In Halo: Reach, Bungie has given us something to be very excited about: FORGE WORLD.

It’s Forge, but it’s huge. LOLHUGE.

The Forge World, the map in which Forge will run, will be as large as a map from the campaign. Take all the maps from your Halo 3 disc, put them together, and Forge World is bigger. It will take minutes to fly across the map in a Banshee or Hornet.

But bigger isn’t the only thing that is better.

Forge itself offers a lot of new fine tuning controls, has a higher forge-object budget (meaning map/game makers can put more stuff in a map), and offers new settings for new objects.

For instance, you can place a “King of the Hill” hill on a Warthog. Essentially, the hill is a moving Warhog.

You can rotate objects by a set degree or move them by microunits to make the perfect map.

And perhaps the best improvement to the Forge engine is this: You can place objects inside objects. That means you can get all kinds of neat shapes but not have to worry about a hill making an object unlevel. You can place a box inside a wall and it will look like you’ve made a ledge.

We aren’t going to get Halo: Combat Evolved back. But what we are getting in Halo: Reach will be great and well worth the time and money we’ll invest in it. A freakin’ video game.

I can’t wait.

And with the improvements of Bungie’s 3D rendering engine, does this mean that they have can tap into a new genre? Can they build world’s that are this huge and gorgeous and put more players on a map? Will this open the doors to an MMORPG?
