''[[Halo 2 Anniversary]]'' | ''[[Halo 2 Anniversary]]'' features a Forge mode, though only in the reimagined multiplayer component.<ref name="IGNinterv"/> The new Forge features several bug fixes, including menu polishing and adding magnet location consistency. Precision control and zoom have also been added. New features include "Snap to Ground", "Align to Ground", and "Movement Snap". Tool settings are now stored between Forge sessions. The Forge "Structure" palette is now cleaner and smoother, along with new mirrored versions of objects. Additional natural and terrain structure pieces—including cliffs and large pieces of land—have also been added to the Structure palette.<ref name="gameinformerH2A">[http://www.gameinformer.com/games/halo_master_chief_collection/b/xboxone/archive/2014/08/30/343-details-halo-2-s-many-changes-and-additions.aspx '''GameInformer''': ''343 Details Halo 2’s Many Changes And Additions'']</ref> Three Skybox-only maps—[[Awash]], [[Nebula]], and [[Skyward]]—have been added, allowing players to create maps and structures without interference from previous existing structures.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Halo/status/505789783004958722 '''Twitter''': ''Halo'']</ref><ref name="ign demo">[http://www.ign.com/videos/2014/10/28/halo-2-anniversary-forge-demo-halo-the-master-chief-collection-ign-first '''IGN.com'' - ''See Forge in Halo 2 Anniversary'']</ref> | ||
The new Forge budget is now based on the amount of objects in a map. The budget can essentially be replaced by a "Performance Meter", presumably determining how well the map will run given the amount of objects placed.<ref name="gameinformerH2A"/> In an official demonstration, the developers showcased a map containing a remake of [[Beaver Creek]] within a much larger Forged landscape, built completely on a flat canvas using the new terrain pieces. "Simple scripting objects" have been added as Forge objects; these allow players to create interactive systems including switches that can be used to perform various tasks, including opening [[door]]s, spawning vehicles or terrain objects, or triggering explosions.<ref name="ign demo"/> There have also been Gadget improvements and new Gadgets.<ref name="gameinformerH2A"/> | The new Forge budget is now based on the amount of objects in a map.
