I would pay at least 800 ms for this and you should also be able to change the weather. But yes great idea

Yay, Legendary status! Thank you bungie.net!

How would that work? They can't just add new Forge items to existing maps you know, why do you think you can't get sheild doors in the original maps?

That isn't possible!

Why do you think you can't use sheild doors on the original maps? New forge items can't be added to original maps.

i just signed on to suggest an undo feature and seen your thread, they definitely need an undo option.

  • 05.14.2008 7:29 PM PDT

Yeah the "undo button" is already on the list.

  • 05.14.2008 7:31 PM PDT

For the fun of the game :D

Dude, you're a genius. No, seriously, you are a genius. I would pay 1600 MC points for this.

Im a FORCE COLONEL DEAL WITH IT

this is very awesome i like these thoughts good job everyone wants new stuff but is just too lazy to make a decent post

  • 05.14.2008 7:33 PM PDT

Ya, i think i would. I would love an undo button, i hate it when i go to delete an object on top of a box, and it deletes the box instead. Especially when i have it so its a merged box, and i have to restart.

I would also like to see a BIG,FLAT,BLANK map, like the size of sand trap for forging, since Foundry isn't big enough. With some kind of walls, and just a grass floor, or something like that, then an object like a KOTH area thing that you can make bigger or smaller for invisible walls

  • 05.14.2008 7:39 PM PDT

Noobs are AR pros.

i would and i barely forge

  • 05.14.2008 7:40 PM PDT

I would, I would pay way more than that to be honest. I do think your list is a bit impossible, but even if they were to just put in a undo/redo button, make it so you could choose to make vehicles never dissapear, and add a 90 degree snap, I would still fork out some cash for sure.

I like most of the ideas, and I suppose I would be willing to pay for it.

Hello

I agree, however my must have alteration's are as follows:
1) The budget of $700 on Foundry is too small, if you have not had a problem with this then you will as your ideas and creativity expend. Look at Thunder Dome on my file share ,"Xorse", to see an example of this problem, as well as how to make a Teleportal Bounce Pad (as far as I know my own invention). Thunder Dome is a complete map, however two small but worthwhile features had to be removed to fund the grenades and deployable equipment. I could not release enough $ from the layout provide a full set of weapons(only 4 are provided). The budget needs to be a least $800 but $1000 is desirable (I was $200 - $300 short of being able to finish another map Jericho) .
2) Agreed... the undo button is a must have. As is the lock item in current position button (Tip : I don't know if this is common knowledge but without it I could not have placed the Man Cannon's in Thunder Dome.. Put the item anywhere you want it so that when you leave the controls alone it does not move(do not drop it!). Save the map then end game. When you next load the map the item will be fixed in the position it was when you saved it (not on the floor where it droped when you ended game. This still won't make weapons etc float!).
3) If Forge has the ability to let you grab sections of your map, which may include multiple items of various types, then I don't know how to do it and would like to know? If it does not have this ability then it needs it!, rebuilding a map from scratch because you unknowingly placed it in the wrong place within the level (too near a wall, overhang etc) is depressing...
4) You are right some essential building blocks are missing... floor tiles of various sizes (sizable objects would be better, well done whoever surgested that!)... open corner, 3 way, and crossroad boxes (building a tunnel corner with roof costs min $8, $12 with a floor... too much!)... triangular wall, floor bits could be useful... The max Qty of many items is also a bit low, only 8 weapon holders??? I read a guy had created a switch door using these, not tried it yet though.
5) Foundry. This is the only map with a decent set of building blocks available for use on Forge... why?. Foundry's overhangs, giant candy grabber and other features can cause problems. We need a big open space, with a flat floor, no irritating features to work around and a much more generous height limitation... and flying vehicles!

I like many of the other ideas that I have read but these for my are the most critical issues. I would pay $20 for a pro edition of Forge provided it resolved all these issues and included a good mix of other peoples wish's as well. Most Important of all is that everyone who has Halo 3 has the ability to play and enjoy all the things that are created with the pro edition. It should be a free update that gives everyone access to the created content within custom games but does not allow them to access or edit any of it in Forge.

Thanks, bye!
Mike

something so you can change the how sensitive the movement is so you can get it in the right place

  • 05.15.2008 9:49 AM PDT

most of those are actually good updates, like they should have been done already
you should be able to enter dimensions for a building and have it just be created. then you could add doors and windows or holes and whatever. there could be different default styles like forerunner or like a human shed or whatever. i just wonder how much work that would actually take..

for sure. i would probably pay that for the undo button alone

  • 05.15.2008 10:36 AM PDT

If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?

I would definitely pay 800 for all that... however...

It would have to include a group/clone tool to group areas of a map and place them somewhere else for easy creation of symmetrical bases etc.

That would clinch the deal ;)

Salvation comes in the form of DEATH!!!!

I would love to able to change the time of day, so the zombie games on like Avalanche would be so awesome. Imagine old timey with like midnight time ... CREEPY!!!
