When Microsoft announced Halo 5 Forge as a free, Windows 10-only game, we wondered exactly what gamers would and wouldn’t get from its eventual September launch. We knew the free download would include the series’ long-running “Forge” mode (since, hey, it’s titular), meaning players would be able to use mice and keyboards to build their own custom Halo 5 maps and online-combat alterations. But what else?

Microsoft confirmed to me in May that the mode would also enable online multiplayer, so users wouldn’t have to dash to an Xbox One console to test their Forge creations. You could build your own level then invite anybody on your Xbox Live friends list to join a battle in Halo 5‘s “custom game” mode so long as they too were running the limited, Windows 10 version of the game. That didn’t sound like a bad freebie, but it seemed like a pretty limited tease and/or advertisement of what Halo 5 on console offers.

What Microsoft didn’t tell me back then, and instead revealed on Thursday with the free download’s launch, is that the free game includes some pre-made levels. Not just the weird-looking Forge ones, either.
