EDIT: Now that bungie has announced Halo 3: ODST I think the question of this poll should be changed to:

"SHOULD THESE IDEAS BE INCLUDED IN THE NEW GAME?"

A lot of people have contributed toward this thread, but many of the features discussed in the list are most likely impossible to create in an update. So as you have seen already I changed the question from "Would you be willing to pay for this update?" to "Should these ideas be included in the new game?". It aims in the same general direction as the first question. You get the picture. I would appreciate it if you could try to read most if not all of this list before voting. These are pure suggestions to Bungie, not complaints. Please take all this seriously!

The new features could include:

New Forge Features


- 90 Degree Snap Button
- Terrain Editor (sandbox anyone?)
- An Undo Button
- Delete All Items Button

- Delete All Weapons Button
- Delete All Vehicles Button
- Delete Everything Button
- Drag Copy 'N' Paste Tool (move, copy, and paste one or more objects at a time)

- Choice of Skin on Vehicles (iced, normal, etc.)

- Choice of color for containers on maps like Avalanche, Blackout, Rats Nest...

- "Spraypaint" Tool (put blood, scorch, or scratch marks on any surface)

- Position Lock Button (press while holding an object and NOTHING will make it budge)

- Levitation Button (could be fused with the Position Lock Button^)
- Size Editor Tool (change the width, height, length of any permanent object)
- Bottomless Pit Option (for maps where you could fall to your death)
- "No Collision" Tool (for those who love to merge / geo-merge)
- X Y and Z Axis Settings (for more precise editing)
- Item Elimination Delay (opposite of respawn delay)
- Adjustable Man Cannons (change strength of man cannons)
- Name Custom Power-ups (example: "You picked up _______.")

New Forge Objects


- Guardians (death barriers) spawn them and size them like a koth hill or a respawn area)
- Time Filter (edit the time of day)

- Weather Filter (some sort of weather modifier)
- Sizable Filter (size the filter so it only applies to a specific area)

- More Custom Powerups (edit their traits separately from the main yellow one)

- Openable and Closable Doors/Gates (like the ones on standoff, but closable)

- Destructible Walls (normal foundry walls, but would crack and eventually break)

- Ladders
 (who cares if the animation looks crappy? they would be great for gameplay)
- Trees

- Dead Characters (such as marines, elites, brutes, etc.)

- Wrecked Pelicans and Phantoms (maybe like 1 or 2 per map to avoid overloading)

- Red and Blue (green, orange, etc...) Banners (for marking each team's base)

- Breakable Glass Windows

- Roads (for racing maps
)
- Non Detachable Machine Gun Turrets + Plasma Cannons

- Weapon Drop Pods (that actually contain weapons)
- Shade Turrets

- Jackal Sniper Towers

- AA Wraiths

- Troop Warthogs
 (currently impossible to sit in the rear, but for future games maybe?)
- Snowmen L0L

- Computer AI (bungie confirmed impossible, but you never know!)
- Ammo Crates (ammunition in bulk)
- Mounted Missile Pod

These are both my ideas, and ideas of the public. I've created posts in the past gathering these ideas, this post sums it all up.

Oh, and for those of you who have been asking, x Foman123 x replied to this post on page 28. Here is what he said:

For that update, I'd pay 3000 points.

I'd also like to see an outdoor, no-ceiling, large-map version of Foundry.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT ACTUALLY HAPPENING, THEY'RE JUST SUGGESTIONS TO BUNGIE. Also, it would be greatly appreciated if you did NOT flame this thread. I know for a fact that quite a few of you will want to say stuff like, "GRUNTS?! Are you kidding me?!" or, "This is all impossible to program," or, "I don't use forge but i'm posting here anyway." Please refrain from doing so. We want to see positive comments if you're going to comment at all.

Wow, you're such an idiot. Trust a Fulham supporter to not know such simple facts.

How else do you think the Xbox 360 could be the fine piece of machinery that it is?

Yes.

Scenery would be sweet. I agree with a lot, except the ones involving characters. That's a no no I think....But not bad. I think I'd pay the 800, even though I don't Forge much. I might do it more.

  • 05.04.2008 4:59 PM PDT

In regards to novels and "canon". I will pick and choose which ones to support as I damn well please. Cryptum and Glasslands are irrelevant as far as I'm concerned.

Don't like that? Boo hoo.

Sure they're "canon" but that doesn't mean I have to support them, their existence, or the continued careers of their respective writers.

You had me sold at being able to change the time of day. :P

Indeed.

  • 05.04.2008 5:00 PM PDT

would've, but the bodies and AI threw it off for me. Wouldn't play on maps with 200 grunts running around

absolutley. That'd make forge even better. I'd probably pay more, but i like the 800 ms best.

  • 05.04.2008 5:01 PM PDT

I wouldn't want to pay ten bucks to get something Bungie should have given us at the beginning.

  • 05.04.2008 5:02 PM PDT

THIS SUMMER...

Yes, except the computer characters. That goes against the point of Halo multiplayer. Otherwise it sounds awesome!

some of these are not necessarily great in my books, but i think if the time of day could effect the speed of zombies or something that would also be cool.

also customizable vehicle paint jobs(ex: a customizable symble on the hood, and different colors/camos)

The Furry halo pwner... Lol...

whooo.. the carnage filled maps i could make witht the dead bodies!

  • 05.04.2008 5:03 PM PDT

I'm not here to flame but I would like to point out that that would take a tremendous amount of work. Making three maps is nowhere near the magnitude of adding the above said items to the forge pallet in all of the Halo 3 maps. Oh, and a question. What would happen if you bought the added forge pallet and forged and awesome map. Then say a friend of yours wanted to try out said map. Would they be able to play the map? I personally would pay ten dollars and realize how much of a steal that would be.

yeah i think if anyone would pay for just 3 maps anyone would pay for this.

  • 05.04.2008 5:03 PM PDT

how could you not say yes to something as awesome as this? i could really use that undo button.

  • 05.04.2008 5:03 PM PDT

The Furry halo pwner... Lol...

not 800 ms, thats map pack worthy... mebbe 400 ms

is this a true update?

  • 05.04.2008 5:07 PM PDT

Most Definately

  • 05.04.2008 5:08 PM PDT

I thought this was going to be a stupid post i heard a million times before but this I would actually would like these are some great ideas the time of day the red and blue side and also the signs that would be sweet if you could put whatever you want on them like any words. The update for delete all would be alot better and undo great post.

also It would be sweet in the update if this would happen but have all the maps that came with the halo be able to put shield doors and other objects from the heroic and legendary.

is this a true update? NO, do not get confused and think so, i just want this to get noticed by a bungie employee. It's just to see if people would be willing to pay 800 ms points if they did make an update.
