Various Halo Infinite Forge leaks show it sure looks like Forge mode

pcgamer.com:

A video showing Halo Infinite's upcoming Forge mode has leaked, been swiftly removed, and because this is the internet is now mirrored in multiple places. The embed above is working at the time of writing but, if it has suddenly disappeared, then Redmond's lawyers have done their thing: Luckily, there are plenty more.

From the looks of things, Halo Infinite's take on Forge mode is pretty spectacular. Forge is a mode that was first introduced in Halo 3 by Bungie, and intended to give the game a life beyond the maps and modes it shipped with. For Halo Infinite this is arguably more important than ever: This is a game that Microsoft intends to build as a platform, and frictionless user-generated content is a key ingredient in that.

For a console shooter especially, as Halo was at the time, Forge was a remarkably forward-thinking and full-featured innovation: Players could not only build maps and set rules, but do it in realtime with friends, instantly test any given configuration, and of course share these creations with the wider community. This is where stuff like Halo Kart and Grifball came from.

The videos show players placing objects from the game, from static walls to vehicles and player characters, some of which can be scaled within the open world. There's the ability to add various effects and triggers, as well as a range of biomes (including a 'snow' biome, which has yet to feature in the game officially but has been known about for a while), as well as weather effects.

The one thing that isn't shown is enemy AI, which is really one of the big questions here. Will this be the traditional multiplayer sandbox or will people be able to straight-up build their own Halo campaigns?
