Bungie WWU: Legendary Forge Filters, Items

When the Heroic map pack was being touted by Bungie, their biggest talking point was the Forge possibilities with the map Foundry. With the Legendary map pack Bungie has been rather quiet regarding any sort of new Forge features. Until now. This week Bungie went all out, revealing the specialized Forge items for each of the three Legendary maps. Avalanche has walls, corners, ramps and watchtowers. Blackout has ramps and doors to block off room interiors. And Ghost Town has ramps, bridges and scaffolding.
The real star of the show however, are Forge Filters (see above for a preview of a few). Forge Filters are: "forge objects that change the camera settings to create a variety of effects." Have you ever placed your camera in a very specific location to achieve a precise image effect? Say inside of an explosion or something? Now with Forge Filters, you can CHOOSE the image effect you want applied to you image. And from ANY camera position, even during gameplay!
Wow. Do want.

I can only wonder what they have planned for the next map pack.

Just when you think they can't release anything new to the game, bam! forge filters.
Do want too....

I waited for free Heroic pack.
I am NOT going to wait for this pack. Sidewinder, Lockout, and now this stuff... it's too much!

I totally agree. I need Blackout now.

Now I know why they always put Love, Bungie at the end of their videos, because you have to love them for the stuff they come up with, man I can't wait.

now only if they would add a snap and rotate 90 degree features to forge, make it so much easier

I'm not sure how I could forget about this. Forge itself makes Halo 3 better than CoD4.

But will the filters work on all maps?

Forge is an amazing piece of software and this just adds to its awesomness

I wonder if we can turn an entire map black and white with the pen and ink, god that would be awesome...
