Some solid answers here

In Response To: Halo 5 Forge Reddit AMA Going on Now BTW (MacGyver10)

: The guys who played and helped design Halo 5's forge are having an 'Ask Me
: Anything' right now on Reddit! Go check it out!

: - MacGyver10

The new terrain pieces sample textures from their position on one of our Forge maps which makes them blend in almost seamlessly with the prebuilt terrain of the level when you mix them together.

In other words the terrain that you place will look exactly like the forge canvas below it. This way everything flows together perfectly. This lets your forge maps look smooth and not just bundled together

Sounds like much more malleable terrain that will have a much more convincing look.

Can't talk about weather effects, but we can say that there is fog and different settings for each map that include lighting and more.

Weather effects! Fog! Forge maps will be so much less sterile

You can mimic multiple types of themes with FX settings and there are different lighting setting for the canvases. Also there are more animated forge objects in Halo 5!
I made a ship that is crashed and has some space whales in it. Also a "stargate" looking structure :)

cool stuff

SPACE WHALE!
