Halo 3 forge goodness: the Foundry “marble maze”

Here’s a treat for all you Halo fans out there in QJ-land! We recently found out about this cool Halo 3 video on Digg, and it’s a special fan-made video that uses the Forge to create a “maze” of sorts for this giant ball to follow.

Find the video and an explanation after the jump!

Here’s a treat for all you Halo fans out there in QJ-land! We recently found out about this cool Halo 3 video on Digg, and it’s a special fan-made video that uses the Forge to create a maze of sorts for this giant ball to follow.

Uploaded by mus65tang1, the video follows the path of a ball as it’s catapulted through the Foundry map via shield walls, ramps, and strategic Man Cannon placements.

Much like a Rube Goldberg machine, the aim of the complicated exercise in Forge design was simple: to get the ball into a goal area in an area to the right of where most of the action takes place. Yup, a simple man cannon shot to right could have done all the work, but then we wouldn’t have this video to show you now.

In any case, kudos to mus65tang1 for the excellent video, and we hope to see more awesome inventiveness from the folks who use Bungie Studios‘ Halo 3 Forge.
