Custom maps in Forge

Played some Forge multiplayer games with some good Halo buds last night, and let me tell you… It was a good time! We started off with the blank version of Sandtrap and added a couple ghosts, tanks, banshees all kinds of big-daddy weapons like the missile pod and spartan laser.
Lots of explosions (and some friendly-fire. [...]

Pre-cleared Forge levels
