In Forge Ball Zooming In.

[Hitori]

Like in Halo: Reach, have the ability to zoom in while in the forge ball in Halo 4 forge.

Okay, so if you guys have no ideas what the above person is talking about, then listen closely. In Halo Reach, if you press down on Right Thumbstick then the view of your forge ball would zoom in, but in Halo 4, it doesn't work and chasing your pieces down a cliff or sneaking up on large teleporters is much harder without it.

I don't understand the point of this thread. It's a minor detail that doesn't hardly do anything, just go a bit closer to the object.

Wow, to forgers this a huge deal. Imagine trying to thread a needle with arms that are 20 feet long.

true it was easier with precision editing but if you just look at the item you are moving from the top it will move drastically slower allowing better handling

I agree, it's harder to forge very accurately now..

 

Hehe... 'Forge ball'...

[CDR Alpha Niner]

I have to admit, he's right. I'm so annoyed that some critical things which helped me align pieces have been removed:

 

-zooming in

-precision nudging via holding down one of the bumpers

-no view reset whenever you grab a piece (the system is now resetting your view, and if your Monitor gets trapped in an adjacent building while still holding your piece, your piece could end up getting ejected along with your Monitor)

 

I've been getting really frustrated at having my pieces go haywire or get misaligned and being unable to properly line them up. Sometimes I need to get in very close and align even more precisely that what the coordinate system will allow me to do.

 

I hope 343 will restore/fix these features.

i agree its harder now
