if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?

those filter things look sexy, but do they cover the whole map or the ball-thing that they're placed in?

I got a question, Bungie said they wanted more knobs to tweak. So why shouldnt we be able to tweak the weather knob?

  • 04.06.2008 11:07 AM PDT

Alright, first I'm going to admit that I'm posting this late, and that I don't have any freaking clue about the intricacies of programming. But, just hear me out.

Bungie made Forge, they've alot of objects for it, ways to control when and how they appear; they created Foundry, the current pinnacle of Forge, they then created the filters which I cannot wait to use.

But, there's something that I personally, and most likely alot of other dedicated Forgers, have wanted.

A large, outdoors, Foundry style map, with a TON of objects, even some building type objects, for us to literally make whatever map we wanted.

I would be willing to pay at least 2,400 Microsoft points for that one map. Completely serious. 'Cause honestly, before Foundry, I never used Forge. That was because there wasn't REALLY any ability to create a unique map, you could just put some crates here, some barricades there and you've got a variant, not a new map. Once Foundry came along though, I LOVE forging new maps in it, 'cause you are creating a new map, not just adding a few things here and there.

So, that's my only request Bungie.

sladgen i agree but, they won't do it as they did two map packs so a third isn't likely.

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.

There are only two things I hate in the world. People intolerant of other peoples cultures, and the Dutch


Don't hate my hands just cause they smell of cabbage.

What a terrible day/month to not be able to update my xbox and not play Halo 3....or nearly any game for that matter, curse you College grade firewalls! And I have vista not XP so I can't use my computer to adapt the connection. How does an upgrade make something more difficult? Anyone have any ideas so I can play these awesome of awesomes?

Those filters are really going to take screenshots and even films to a whole new level. Big screenshot takers are gonna be all over this. I can't wait to play the maps and use the filters =D

EDIT: Also does anybody know if the filters are going a be added to the original/heroic maps. sorry if they already said this but if they were added to snowbound blue room flare would be crazy

Why wouldnt they make more map packs? They would eventually.

Im so excited for this new pack pack. Ghost town looks more interesting than any of them cause its actually "new map." But from the pics youve shown it doesn look like you can do much with the forge tools. the map seems to have so many unblanced sufaces and stuff, itll be hard to really make anything at all? But im still excited to see it. ;)

You guys probably spent alot of the time thinking of what to put in the new maps than making the map. o.O

i hope you left out the "one-way glass" forge object on purpose to suprise us! >.< i really doo.

dont think i forgot you mentioned that.

Well, this map pack looks amazing! Blackout, Avalanche, and Ghost Town all have unique feels and looks, not to mention the new filters in the screenshots are and amazing feature!

Bungie, can I marry you? Please? :)

  • 04.06.2008 3:52 PM PDT

I do that rather well...don't you think?

Forge Filter sounds sick.

I have a question, can you change who gets affected by the filter? For instance if you wanted a Infection game type where the humans have normal vision but the zombies have gloomy vision? That would be really cool.

Oh man with these new forge options Avalanche will make for an amazing 30 Days of Night type infection map, can't wait these maps will totally keep me occupied until GTA4 takes over my life.
