Halo 3 getting camera effects during gameplay

Submitted by rapture on Sat, 04/05/2008 - 8:34am.

In the latest Bungie Weekly Update they revealed a new camera feature called Forge Filters.  This filters allow mapmakers assign image filters to certain areas of the map.  These filters can be experienced by gamers in real-time during multiplayer. 

This means that you can venture to a certain part of the map and all of sudden be playing in Black-and-White mode, or Sepia mode, or Pen and Ink mode.  The filters are Forge objects so I guess there will be a limited number of these to go in each map.

This will add an interesting twist to custom maps and gameplay in Halo 3.  It could be interesting to see what happens when you can't see what color the other team is.

Nova mode


Old Timey mode


Pen and Ink mode

That's awesome. I can see

That's awesome. I can see some pretty clever gametypes stemming out of this. It would be cool if you could apply affects to object like flags or bombs, so for example everything will be b&w unless you're within 100ft or so of the objective.
