HALO: Forge World Question

Hey everyone, I just wanted to clarify something:

Will we be able to download other people's custom forge maps and play them on Reach? If so, how? I see how simple this could be on a pc (download map, put it in the map folder of your games directory) but I'm sceptic that a restricted platform like XBOX Live will allow downloading user made maps from the Halo Community.

I have a feeling we could only play the Host's map and once the host leaves, so does his or her map. Can I actually play a random person's map and save it on my xbox to play it locally?!

If someone could confirm that we could do this, I would really appreciate it! This is by far the most exciting feature that has EVER come to a console FPS.

Thanks!

i think they have a search engine now cuz in the beta they had a thing to search for films but it did not work

Isn't there a "recent file" thing in Halo 3?
And you needed to download the map in the first place if you are playing on it =/

I'm not sure about the "recent file" thing. I agree that if I played on a map then I technically downloaded it, however what concerns me is if we get to save a map that the Halo fans make and keep store it on our hardrive PERMANENTLY. I'm sure the community is going to make some pretty incredible maps and I would LOVE to keep a bank of favorites.

epic. just friggin epic.

Back from playing some Halo 3
Go to "recent maps" in forge mod and the last custom maps you played should be there.

It automatically records the last 25 maps you played.

You can download any map variant. The easiest way is to get on bunie.net log into your xbla account and browse the maps and custom games and telling them to download. Then the next time you put reach in your xbox it will download the map.

yes there was a recent file and no you didn't have to download to play it. the reason is because you already had the map with items moved around. then you had the option to download it to keep that file for ever
