The Forge Tools included in "Halo 5: Guardians" has been introduced just last December, but players are already making impressive game content - enough to catch the attention of key execs.
The Forge mode is the creative suite in "Halo 5" that allows players to make or create their own multiplayer maps, reports Game Rant. Since its release, fans have been making original, custom maps that everyone can enjoy. A new map, "Mitake Machine," has however outshined many of them and caught the attention of Xbox Head Phil Spencer and 343 Industries' Josh Holmes.
"Mitake Machine" is basically some sort of boss battle where a team of Spartans face off against a player-driven giant machine which looks like it's patterned from Master Chief's head. The machine has two "kill balls" (yes, that's what they' re called, reports GameSpot) that kill (of course) enemies head on.
Spartans that challenge the behemoth need to destroy four separate cores found in the machine's different parts. They have to do this to gain access to the machine's main core. Once the main core is destroyed, the machine's pilot (another player) will then be available for the kill.
Here's a video featuring the map, "Mitake Machine."
Xbox Head Phil Spencer has caught notice of the map, and is actually impressed by it. In a Twitter post, Spencer noted, "What people do in Forge is pretty incredible."

Speaking also to GameSpot, 343 Industries Studio head Holmes said that they are impressed by the constant creativity that players have in using the Forge Tools, especially the new boss-battle map.
"It's been amazing to see the creativity of the Halo community unleashed with the new Forge tool set in Halo 5: Guardians," he said. "We have an ongoing email thread going here in the studio where people share new discoveries every week and it never fails to amaze us what people have managed to build."
It's important to note, however, that "Mitake Machine" is still in development, so expect to experience some frame rate and lag issues, among others.
