Top Forge Creators Leaving Halo Infinite Over ‘Lack of Support’

Sure, here’s a revised version that aims for the style you specified:

Oh man, where to start with this whole Halo Infinite drama? So, there’s this group, The Forge Falcons, right? They’ve been one of those top-notch teams in the Halo Infinite community, cooking up all these crazy cool maps and modes in Forge. But guess what? They’re packing up and leaving. Yep, they’re out. The reason? A so-called “lack of support” from Halo Studios, which, by the way, used to be called 343 Industries—because apparently dev teams need new names as often as I lose socks.

So, Forge mode. Ah, the nostalgia—introduced back in the day with Halo 3 (like 2007, if we wanna be precise, but who’s keeping track?). It wasn’t until late 2022 that it waltzed into Halo Infinite. Now, it’s sort of the backbone for new content in the game because Halo Studios seems to be dragging their feet with new maps. Forge is this powerful toolkit that lets you build custom maps and game modes. Some even get to shine in matchmaking and all that jazz. But the people really carrying this are the community creators. Halo Studios should maybe buy them a beer or something, but that’s another rant.

The Falcons have given us some pretty dope stuff—like Inheritor, a battle royale deal. Then there’s this Call of Duty Zombies kind of thing they did called “Survive the Undead.” You’d think such legends would get at least a high-five from Halo Studios, right? Nope. Apparently, they didn’t even get a thank you card.

So, Falcons dropped a bombshell statement on Twitter—called their relationship with Halo Studios a “one-sided” ordeal. No creative freedom, no help, and zilch on the paycheck. They weren’t even asking for cash, just a bit of love. But, nah. Even though Xbox used their stuff in promos and updates, the Falcons were like, “Where’s the appreciation?”

Anyway—wait, where was I? Right, so now they’re eyeing Fortnite’s Unreal Engine. Seems like Epic Games has this creator program that’s like a warm hug compared to Halo’s cold shoulder. Meanwhile, the community’s rallying, backing up the Falcons, demanding proper credit and respect for these unsung map-making heroes. Guess Halo Studios is busy tinkering on something big. Rumor has it, maybe a Halo: Combat Evolved remake is on its way. Who knows?

There you have it. A classic tale of unmet expectations and creative geniuses moving on to greener, or at least more appreciative, pastures.
