Forge World Ultimate (Forerunner.map)

The ultimate Forge Canvas for Halo: Reach

Info and Downloads

About

Forge World Ultimate started in 2014 as "Forerunner.map" - a modded map for Halo: Reach on the Xbox 360 that was, as the name implies, going to be heavily Forerunner-themed - with Forerunner weapons, vehicles, and so on.

As time went on, however, the project goals shifted to adding as much cool content to Forge World as possible. On the 360, the best tool available was Assembly - and while it was powerful, it was still limited. However, the result was a map that reached a certain point, and then broke - forcing a reset.

However, now that Halo: Reach has official tools released for its MCC port, I decided to revisit this project once more, and make it better than I could've dreamed on the 360.

Featuring brand new forge objects that were never available in Reach, made from the ground up - and of course being made for PC, Forge World has never been so ultimate.

Forerunner VI - MCC PC

Most versions will have two possible map versions available:

  • Replacement Download - This is the current recommended download method, as the Master Chief Collection does not natively support the introduction of custom map files - as such, replacement of an existing map is required. This version replaces Condemned (condemned.map).

  • Standalone Download - This is a "future-proofed" download, that includes a separate map file, along with mapinfos and map images. Should MCC support loading custom cache files natively in the future, then this download should be used instead to avoid replacing an existing map.

Please keep in mind that any forge variants made with this map will almost certainly break with future releases. Additionally, any existing Forge World variants will also not be compatible with the map - as the map features a completely rebuilt forge palette.

All versions from 6.0 onwards will not have any changes to the forge palette to avoid breaking existing map variants. You may also download any version from 6.0 onwards from Nexus Mods.

Legacy Downloads - Retail Halo: Reach (Xbox 360)

Most versions will have two possible map versions available:

  • Full Download - This is a pre-compiled map file, with info and images included. This is recommended if you do not wish to install or use Assembly, or encounter problems patching the map.

  • Assembly Patch Download - This is an Assembly patch file that can be used to patch an existing Forge World map (forge_halo.map). This is recommended if you have slower internet, as the file size will be slightly smaller.

IMPORTANT NOTE: All legacy files will likely have crashes when spawning in certain objects, and may have some areas of incomplete or non-functional content. Additionally, these files will NOT work on MCC - these are intended to be used with the original Xbox 360 release of Halo: Reach, using a RGH or JTAG modified Xbox 360 console.
