Halo 3 is just hours away from joining Halo: The Master Chief collection. The FPS game's due to land in all its reworked glory on our home platform later this very day, and now developer 343 Industries has posted the patch notes for us to eyeball ahead of launch. Alongside the bunch of new features and fixes, "(PC) Forge is now available for Halo: Reach, Halo 2: Anniversary, and Halo 3".
The patch notes - posted on the Halo Waypoint site and included below - announce the Forge game mode is back, and has been "updated with new features, including object physics, rotation, coordinate snap, and precision edit tools". The feature was originally introduced with Halo 3, and gives players the option to edit, save, and then share multiplayer maps with others for use in custom games.
It'll be exciting news for fans of the original mode, particularity as there are other improvements, additions, and tweaks detailed in the patch notes for its return. For example, "Halo 3 and Halo: Reach Forge pallets have been expanded with new objects and budget increases", and Forge tools for those two titles and Halo 2: Anniversary have also now got a new feature, 'toggle rotation axes', which adds "toggleable rotation around world and local axes".
