In Halo: Reach, if you combine Purple, Next Gen (Gloomy) and Olde Timey, it will give a rainy environment.Even with Pen and Ink or Colorblind activated, some things can still retain their color, such as the blue glow of a Man Cannon or Gravity Lift when approached.Juicy and Old Timey allows players to see through Energy Barriers.It is nearly impossible to see with them all on.
#FILTER FORGE 9 FILTERS MOVIE#
Combining Gloomy and Old Timey on Cold Storage or Blackout creates a horror movie appearance, which can be used to make Infection matches more interesting.Combining Pen & Ink and Juicy on Blackout creates a "Frozen Wasteland" effect, the result is that almost everything on the map appears to be covered in snow, even player models.As an example, combining Pen & Ink, Gloomy, and Nova produces a sort of blizzard effect. You can turn on multiple filters at once, which is potentially useful for setting the mood.The Forge Filters are also available in Cold Storage and the Mythic map pack maps ( Assembly, Orbital, Sandbox, Longshore, Citadel and Heretic).
#FILTER FORGE 9 FILTERS FULL#
The Forge Filters were introduced in the Arby 'n' the Chief episode "Legendary," when Master Chief and the Arbiter downloaded the Legendary map pack and turned on all the Forge Filters for the full effects.The filter is similar to a combination of Colorblind and Nova.įorge Filters are also in Halo: Reach. The increased contrast also makes bright areas appear quite blurry. The colors are removed, contrast is increased, and sharp outlines appear on objects close to the camera.
Pen & Ink applies an effect to the map, making it look almost drawn. In some cases, however, parts of the Heads-up display remain blue. Old Timey applies a sepia effect to the map, giving the appearance of an old film projector. It can be thought as an opposite to Juicy. This effect is almost like a snow blizzard's or fog's effect on the eyes. It applies somewhat sharp outlines to objects that are close to the camera, blurring all else. Nova makes things look more faded and blurry. It can be used to make sniping easier in a match.
This effect pretty much eliminates glare, which can give objects and even characters a sort of faded look. Juicy applies a dark and richer look to the game by increasing the saturation of on-screen colors and slightly darkening the screen. In the Legendary ViDoc, one of the Bungie artists calls it "the Gears of War one," referring to Epic Games' dark and atmospheric shooter. Gloomy darkens and desaturates the screen while also raising the contrast. This filter could be placed in a team game to confuse players. The filter is named for an optical deficiency that has a similar effect. The effects are applied to the screen at all times, with no way to limit them to a certain area.Ĭolorblind removes all color from the screen, effectively turning everything grayscale. There are six different effects, which may be combined. Outside of Forge, Filters are invisible, though their effects are still present.
When in Forge, Filters appear as spheres these spheres contain smaller orbs, which contain little wire-frame cameras. The effects were made to make the Custom Game and Forge experience more enjoyable and different for players, and are also quite useful when making machinima.
The primary function of the Filters is to alter the way maps look like by applying special effects.
