Forge returned in ''Halo 4'' with several improvements from its previous iteration in ''Halo: Reach'', though not to the same extent as the changes experienced going into ''Reach''. The duplication tool has returned from ''Halo 3'', and selected objects now glow green depending on what type of object is selected for better precision, preventing players from accidentally deleting objects they did not intend. The feature now supports dynamic lighting on Forge objects, enabling each individual pieces to cast shadows. It features additional tools for user for map-making such as the ability to link Forge objects seamlessly through the use of the magnet utility and adding trait zones (such as enhanced movement and gravity). Objects can be locked, preventing being grabbed/moved. More Forge objects have been added to the sandbox to provide variety to the map-making experience.<ref name="RTX Forge">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFr2JMmr_aE '''YouTube''': ''Halo 4 Forge Demo at RTX <nowiki>[HD] [1080p]</nowiki>'']</ref> Infinity ordnance will be a customizable feature.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/blogs/Headlines/post/2012/07/06/The-Halo-Bulletin-7612.aspx '''Halo Waypoint''': ''The Halo Bulletin: 7.6.12.'']</ref> Halo 4 features four different Forge maps: [[Erosion]], [[Impact]], [[Ravine]] and [[Forge Island]].
