Ever since the third game in the series, Halo fans have been building some impressive levels. While the series' Forge Mode may have started off as a simple level editor - players couldn't build their own environments, only edit those that the developers included - it's become something far more over the years. It's not just switching weapons and vehicles around anymore - and it was only a matter of time before the fans started creating some truly amazing stages.
Of course, it just wouldn't be Forge without artwork. While most fans try to build the best multiplayer stage, there are plenty of players who just want to hop into the game and build something entirely different. Now, roughly a month after Forge was introduced into Halo 5: Guardians, fans can get their first glimpse at what the editor can really do.
And the first batch of artwork is already impressive. One user, going by the name Bearskopff, is basically a Forge savant: it wasn't enough to simply build and AT-AT or a goomba - so he went and built entire levels from Super Mario 64 and Star Wars: Battlefront inside of Halo 5:
Oh, and the best part? They're all playable in Halo 5: just search for the gamertag 'Bearskopff' and the maps should appear. As for any future works, Bearskopff definitely has something up his sleeve...he's just not telling anyone yet. From his reply on Reddit:
"Got a few ideas floating around for maps at the moment. Now I just need to find some more time."
