When I heard of forge I got excited thinking it would be like Garry's mod,(wich by the way is an amazing mod for half life 2) But it does lack in some areas.
- The Budget I presume is so the maps dont lag up wich is good as garry's mod didn't have this and you could break it by spawning loads of exploding barrels, so I like that aspect
- I think It would me more fun if certain maps did not have limited vehicles, such as epitaph you can only have a mongoose, sure this is practical and I understand this.
- A weld tool like Garry's mod would be quite good because then you could stick things together and hold them to the floor instead of them moving around.
- Some blocks and ramps and random shapes would be good to mess around with.
There are other things too but thats basically it, even adding a weld tool would be good i think, I wouldn't have thought doing any of these things would infringe copywright.

Garrys Mod Update with Halo 3 installments > Halo 3's Forge.

I hope this will eventually come out. If It does I'd..play it.

Very nice, I like the welding idea. Just a random thought, woulden;'t be awesome if we could place our own scenery? Like 'Oh, I'll just put a waterfall here', lol. But I suppose that's be to much like the Sims.

Is Garry's Mod the mod that allows you to walk throught certain doors with the numbers 0-12 along them?

That aswell, sucks having to delete every single item in, say, sandtrap.

Sword and Scales has a permanent +10 intelligence aura that has a 1 page range.
Enjoy your +10 intelligence, page 2 - Rampancy

*sigh* In case you couldn't tell, the original post was so amazingly full of sarcasm that it killed a few babies. -Waffle

Garry's Mod is the greatest sandbox mod of all time. Imagine Forge as store brand ice cream. Garry's Mod is a "gotta have it" from Cold Stone with a gallon of water on the side.

Its not going to work, Xbox is extremely limited for something thats is made up of Computer components, forge is like the closest thing Xbox players will ever come to a map creator / editor, so yeah, dont count on it mate

That would be AWESOME. Sadly, I don't think anything like Garry's Mod will come out on the 360. :'''(

Far Cry has a complete map editor. I don't think H3 should have one though. Forge is unique.

Also I'm not too sure about that welding tool. Say you're playing a game of CTF, you could just weld big crates to the floor around the flag and the attacking team could never win.
