What you need to know
- Halo YouTuber and Forger Red Nomster has created a fully functional Halo tabletop RPG game in Halo Infinite's Forge mode.
- The game essentially brings Baldur's Gate 3-style combat to Halo Infinite, tasking one team with using UNSC Marines to rescue a prisoner and the other to stop them with squads of Banished units.
- Players get two actions per turn, and can switch between first-person and top-down perspectives, turn on immersive sound effects, toggle tabletop figurine-style movement, and add spectators to the game whenever they want.
- The dice-roll driven randomness of D&D comes through in the game through the natural behaviors of the AI in combat, such as with missed shots or grenade throws.
- The mode is called "The Halo RPG," and Red Nomster used roughly 1,400 scripting nodes to get it all working as smoothly as it does.
