Subject: Forge Update - you like?

Oh, you think darkness is your ally. You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see the light until I was already a man. By then, it was nothing to me but BLINDING!

Yes.

"The only good Elite is a dead Elite."

All of that sounds dandy, and I voted yes. But that's not what Forge needs.

i like alot of these, but i'll comment on a few i find impossible, or too difficult to make.

- Gaurdians (spawn them and size them like a koth hill or a respawn area)
Wouldn't work due to the fact that it would lag the map, and each map has its own gaurdians. Too much diversity to make one item.

- A "Delete All Items" button
Now your just asking for lag. Thats like putting every vehicle you can in the door on high ground, then restarting the round. (try it some time. its fun. XD)

- 90 degree snap button
A good idea, but this would give people the ability to "snap" items into walls and what not, causing major lag and its just not easy to do.

- An Undo button (don't you hate when you delete something on accident?)
I would LOVE to have this, but its impossible. If you give someone a redo button on forge on LIVE, they'll just keep pressing it, and it'll screw everything up. And they couldn't make it just for each person. too much work.

I'm glad this is still going strong, it's actually a very good idea.

Just as every cop is a criminal,
And all the sinners saints,
As heads is tails, just call me lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint.

Bow chicka honk honk.

If bungie could do it, I would give them my soul. But they can't, so for now my soul stays in the jar above my bed with all my spares.

Basketball rules! So does Halo.

The Warriors of Darkness! Dominating other clans.
Surrender or Perish!

Yeah Man! Although some things I disagree with.

I'd pay 800 MS points just for the lock feature.

Yes, i would pay double the amount for this.

  • 06.11.2008 2:10 PM PDT

AI or Weather filters wouldn't be hard to do at all. AI obviously can sync in Halo 3 multiplayer due to Co-op, and the filters would probably just witch the BSP when you placed them.

Y'all that have ever made maps with Halo: Custom Edition will know what I'm talking about.

Anyway I'm not going to pay any $10 dollars for an update for Forge.

  • 06.11.2008 2:10 PM PDT

lolnope.

Man...Bungie should've added all this in in the first place but ohh no they can't. Too bad we can't have marines fight in multiplayer. Unless of course...

Subject: would not work

This update would not work... obviously because of the hard coding issues and the fact of how much work this would be to redo an entire system of how things work but if it comes out for money... that would mean posting maps on bungie would further seperate the people who like to buy the new features(most of us) and then the huge amount of people who for some reason expect everything to be free and then that would complicate parties as certain people would not be able to play the maps because even with an update that would mean someone would release the maps with all the new items and someone who didn't pay would download and play them in forge and use these maps without paying to get the same experience. But if you could somehow enable blocking of people from playing any map with new features when they don't pay for upgrade then it would still have the whole complaining thing going on just like with every map pack

I would pay for these, if I had the money.

  • 06.11.2008 2:56 PM PDT

Holy -blam-, he's good!

deff. because it is so hard to make things fit in right, so it is helpful for a 90 degree snap, and all the other cool new items

I did not see the "NULL OBJECT" I suggested on another thread.
This is like a folder where you can keep more than one object and essentially making the combined objects one single object that can be manipulated as a whole.
Say you lay out several boxes in a circle pattern, pop them into a null object and call the null 'arc'
Now grab the null now named 'arc' and rotate it onto it's side and you have a nice arch or a arc bridge if reversed.
The posibilities are enormous.

My third montage!

Hell I'd pay 800ms points just to be able snap items 90 degrees. It's one the reason's I hardly mess with forge because it's impossible to get two items to line up the perfectly. Drives me freaking nuts. The position lock feature would be awesome as well.

Oh I thought of a feature that would be kewl when I was forging last night. The ability to snap to pieces together. Like walls and such.

  • 06.11.2008 3:17 PM PDT

Yes although I think the price is too high for an update considering they are free.
