yes. Those are some crazy good ideas that i never thought of. Another thing they need to add is more large structures.
Yea some, actually alot more big structures!
Nah, they wouldn't be detailed enough and they would be annoying unless you're on a bigger map.

I would definetly pay 800ms points or more for this update

  • 07.29.2008 5:43 PM PDT

No anger, no envy, no pain, no guilt, no lie, no rest, no mercy, no regret, no pity, no blade, no silence shall cease your heresy in this world! You must be stopped! But stop your blind struggle for power and you can live!!! You can live and come back to us. You can come back.

This is almost what I had in mind for a forge update. Here is my list of ideas, organized from in game menus, etc. Descriptions of ideas are next to them.

(Pause Menu Screen):
Delete All Button/option (selecting this would clear the map of every forge-able item)
Delete All Specified Button/option (selecting this would bring a scrolling list of every object on the map to be deleted)
Pause Menu Screen In-Game Map (An option of some sort to see an overview of the map like Bungie's Heatmaps)
Locator Option (lets you search the map for a specified object and show the location of them on the map mentioned above)
Undo Option (undo your previous forge action, i.e. delete a Warthog or delete an interlocked box)
90 Degree Snap Button ( to have something like a wall instantly flat)
Float Option (so we don't have to go through the normal process of getting something to float)

(Forge Screens)
More Scenery (things like destroyed vehicles, dead bodies, and structures)
Vehicle Skins (having the option for them, like on Avalanche but more, i.e. desert, normal, ice, fire, forest, spec ops, etc.)
Weapon Skins (like Cod 4 weapon skins: normal, desert, woodland, then fire, ice, spec ops, etc.)
BioHazards/Gaurdians (having options like spawn rate, respawn rate, and size; blades, spikes, meteor shower, sentinels, flood, etc.)
Weather Modifications/Filters ( change the weather on a map to things like rain, hail, drought, flood, blizzard, etc.)
Time Of Day Modifications/Filters (change the time of day to Early Morning, Afternoon, Evening, and Night; this would change the position of the sun/moon)
Destructible Environmental Objects (more things like palettes but like walls, boxes, and Halo 2's Zanzibar's Glass)
Forgable Shade Turrets (awesome turrets like that need some multiplayer attention and they're just plain awesome!)
Forgable Elephants (Sandtrap needed it but didn't have it, and fortifing one was almost impossible)
"Forge Glue" (so when you place an item down it won't move when something hits it)
"Forge Paint" (so you can change the color of a box or wall to a color of your liking; Foundry's walls to a brown or black instead of that Tan)
"Forge Scissors" (to cut your own entrance or make a hole when you just realized that your awesome fort has no entrance but you don't want to mess up your hours of interlocking work)
Non-detachable Turrets (like from Halo 2, the turrets were big and couldn't be detached: the plasma turret of course)
Transport Warthog (but make it so you can get in the back, we really need another recon vehicle anyway)
AA Wraith (For when your Spartan Laser hasn't respawned and the enemy is killing your team with Banshees and Hornets)
Ladders (From Halo: Combat Evolved, when you want a secret way to the top of your base or a way for zombies to kill humans faster)
More Equipment (more equipment, kind of like from campaign, ie. invincibility, or an auto turret that fights for your team)
Sniper Towers From Campaign (the ones that jackals snipe from and grunts fire mounted plasma turrets from, in campaign. They were in Halo 2 multiplayer, why not Halo 3?)
PowerUp size and shape (having the option to change the shape of powerups, not equipment, from halo 3's shape and size to halo2/1's shape and size(and color too))
Custom Custom PowerUp Color (2 reasons; 1: so you can look at a different color than bright yellow and 2: each colored powerup can have its own set of abilities/powereups)
AA Gun (For large maps like Sandtrap or Avalanche. When you want a large structure and a cool way to fight against Air Assaults)

I might of missed a few of my ideas, and if there's anything i missed anyway please let me know and i'll edit it.

I remember when this thread was just starting out... ages ago. And I'm quite surprised to see this still alive, and btw I'm still all for this being a real update! *winks @ Bungie*

Nope

Hell I'd pay 1600 for an update like this, too bad it'll never happen though.

  • 07.29.2008 6:04 PM PDT

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

Yes, I would be happy to pay $10 for a forge update. Their are so many things that could be added to make so much better and easier to use.

I would like to see a Spiral staircase or an elevator.

READ EVERYTHING BEFORE MAKING YOU'RE DECISION!!!

Everybody knows that forge is one of the best things Bungie has ever given us, but it is missing a couple things that would make it the best thing they've given us. So the question is: Would you be willing to pay 800 microsoft points ($10) OR MORE for this great forge update? If you seriously think they should, please post a comment to keep this thread alive and maybe, just maybe someone from Bungie will see this. Eventually there will be a group of supporters of this update, and everyone who has commented here will be invited to join. These are pure suggestions to Bungie, not complaints. Please take all this seriously!

The update would include:

- Gaurdians (spawn them and size them like a koth hill or a respawn area)
- A "Delete All Items" button
- 90 degree snap button
- An Undo button (don't you hate when you delete something on accident?)
- Openable and closable doors/gates (like the ones on standoff, but closable)
- Destructable Walls (like a wall from foundry, but it would crack and eventually break when damaged like a barrier)
- Trees
- Dead characters such as marines, elites, brutes, etc.
- Wrecked Pelicans and Phantoms (maybe like 1 per map)
- The ability to change the time of day (an object very similar to a filter)
- Ladders
- Shade Turrets
- Jackal Sniper Towers
- AA Wraiths
- Troop Warthogs
- Choice of skin on vehicles (iced or normal)
- Choice of color for containers on maps like Avalanche, Blackout, Rats Nest...
- A second custom powerup (edit it seperatly from the main yellow one)
- Red and Blue banners for marking the red and blue sides of maps
- More signs than just A and B
- Non - detachable machine gun turrets + plasma cannons
- Sizable Filters
- Breakable glass windows (remember the ones on good old fashioned Zanzibar?)
- Floors/larger walls
- Roads for racing maps
- A "Position Lock" button which would allow you to make sure an object could not move
- "Forge Glue"
- A button making objects float (instead of glitching stuff to float)
- Snowmen on snow covered maps for laughs (not default placed, just forgable)
- Some sort of weather modifier (again, an object similar to a filter)

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.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN ACTUAL UPDATE, 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.



You sir, are a genius who deserves Recon.

This is a brilliant idea and would make a GREAT update. The replay value of Halo would easily, double, if not triple. A whole new level of map creation and enjoyment could be spawned from that.

It does deserve a higher price though. I think $15 would be a little bit more on the fair side and not ridiculously cheap for something ridiculously good.
