The reason that it is so difficult to build indoor maps in Forge is because Forge is fundamentally broken. It's a great feature that wasn't implemented well. There is no reason why it should be so hard to make small adjustments. I cannot figure out for the life of me why the hell objects are automatically picked up when you select them. It makes it near impossible to make small adjustments without just starting over again. Also, why are certain items limited to certain maps? Foundry has lots of nice structural features, but where are all the decorations? Radios, camping stools, etc. It might not sound like much, but it can really spruce up a map.

posts containing nothing but "1st!" / "1st post!, "2nd!" / "2nd post!","1st page!" etc on Bnet bulletins make you a forum n00b.
those who cuss out others for having a crummy K/D ratio are elitist scum who suck at life.

pretty interest stuff there, ske7ch. However, I was always pissed the new forge items weren't able to be integrated into the rest of the original maps..hope there's a way to fix that in the future. you people at bungie are brilliant, should be able to be accomplished, right?

I think the fact that Foundry can be completely edited is a step in the right direction, a big step. Now the next step is fixing two vital things, One: fix the timing and effect of the beatdown. This is a problem we all know it. Its like the elephant siting in the living room that we all avoid mentioning. Second: If we can edit every weapon and object on the map, why is it so hard to enable the Beam Rifle as a starting weapon? I thought it was a given, but apparently I'm wrong. So Bungie, pretty please with sugar on top, stop ignoring the problems, quit effing around with Grifball and fix the best game to hit the 360 console.

I love the Halo story, the design, the weapons, everything...well, almost everything. I'm not sayign Halo is the best game (top 10, but not best), but I'm saying it is an amazing game. My brother and I are the creators of Robot Halo Chicken, check it out on YouTube.

And its always hard to get people to try a map with you, its either you and friends offline or wait around for a few people to join you.

I bet modders could easily do what Bungie either can't do or refuses to.

Forge is in serious need of an align to grid tool. It would really speed up things in building maps. And why do things come towards me when I select them? Who did that crap? Half the time I'm barely adjusting a item, and there it goes moves 5 ft up and toward me everytime. -blam!-.!!! Guys should use a little more common sense when building these things. I mean come on. It just gets in the way.

Hey there, Ske7ch. Me and a couple friends played Baseline last night, 2 flag CTF, and the spawns were way off. As the game started, my teammate spawned in the other teams base and grabbed the flag right away. As the game progressed, I recall this kind of thing happening more than once. The map is really well designed, other than that. I hope to play a version with the spawns working properly.

Lurking like a baws. Totally. It's like totally important if I post because I barely post.

...

WHO EVEN LOOKS AT SIGNATURES ON BUNGIE.NET ANYWAY???

amazing dude. You've inspired alot of people to try and make maps. I know it took you days to finish it, but as I say, "Hard work gives awesome results."

I really personally like the "Baseline" map. By far, you are the only one who used the armory as a spawn point of a warthog. That part was my favorite... I said, "A bridge to the armory, which has a warthog in it? Cool! Why haven't i thought of that?"
Again, good work.


P.S: I think some people are stealing your ideas....

Don't ever let anyone judge you for who you are, or what you are not.

GREAT IDEAS ON FOUNDRY!
