Subject: Forge Update - you like?

If you look at this stuff....go to a park or something else active

Uuumm...who wouldn't? Only thing I don't like about it is the no AI. But, i'd still love it whether or not it had AI or not.

ya, gotta know who you are...

Yes please, they should take example from other editors from other games. I'm thinking Starcraft in particular. That editor was AMAZING. If any of you played Starcraft you will know what I'm talking about.

When I heard Halo was going to have an editor, I was very excited. Yes the forge is very much less than I expected, but it is a leap for console gaming.

In addition to your list -

'Optional' or editable boundaries (invisible walls)
'Optional' or editable death barriers
A list of triggers and events
All weapons/ vehicles/ equipment/ scenery on all maps
A Forge gamtype
selective control over who can moderate
whether or not moderators can create
whether or not they can delete
are they allowed to move things
what are they allowed to create
what are they allowed to move
what are they allowed to delete
moderator powers? (eye beam)
"Team problem solving using forge"
competitive versus game including moderator support

If we are too general in our requests something will get left out.

I WANT MORE CONTROL. If you put it in there someone will find a use for it.

I'll add more to this list later this is just off the top of my head...

sure, there is stuff there i would like, but some stuff it hink i'd never use. I'd buy it anyway, but i think that some of the stuff isn't that worth it.

  • 08.26.2008 5:14 PM PDT

We march to the drums of the damned.

why don't they just give us a blank slate to make our maps from scratch

  • 08.26.2008 5:18 PM PDT

I had my named changed, it was mastercheif24, now its
xXN1GHTxMAREXx, yea

Great idea. Im kinda 50/50 on the AI characters. But i like the idea of dead bodies, it make a great zombie map.
I wish there was a button on the side of the bungie web page that said new update suggestions...yea.
But great idea, and great post.

  • 08.27.2008 12:17 PM PDT

1 way walls. I like that

  • 08.28.2008 9:03 AM PDT

Yes, that would be awesome.

  • 08.28.2008 9:46 AM PDT

I'd start playing Halo again and pay well over 800 Microsoft points.

  • 08.28.2008 10:08 AM PDT

There's no such thing as too many grenades.

A few items on the list seen unnecessary, but overall it would greatly improve forge.
Also, it would be nice to see some new basic shapes to forge with.

  • 08.28.2008 10:09 AM PDT

I would sell my shoes.

No, im not black....

  • 08.28.2008 10:13 AM PDT

Even with all this...
I still think the Farcry 2 map editor is the best map editor of all time ( i had to)

  • 08.28.2008 10:18 AM PDT

that is so whorth it i would love it that update happened i would pay 880 ms

  • 08.28.2008 10:19 AM PDT

All of the following are suggestions and positive criticism. Thank you for the Forge which rocks.
When pressing x on an object, a menu like the following could be used:

Place at start: (Yes or no)
1st spawn: (XX : XX) X going from 0 to 9. the left one being minutes and the right one seconds.
Respawn timer: (see above)
Delete timer: (destroys it and stops it from respawning) (XX : XX)

Also the internal only (for now I hope) shield door barrier deleter would be nice as well as the beta trip mines which stuck to vehicles and were more powerful.

Sorry couldn't resist the disclaimer to avoid flame ^^

  • 08.28.2008 10:47 AM PDT

Multi-Kills FTW!

I would pay twice that :P
i love forge =)

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
- Computer AI have been REMOVED
- 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)
- A "spraypaint" tool that lets you put blood, scorch, or scratch marks on any surface
- 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.

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:

Posted by: x Foman123 x
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 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.



I hope Bungie reads this...

  • 08.28.2008 10:56 AM PDT

Also, you're not empathizing with animals. You're being judgmental and snooty. you're just using this as an excuse to prove to the world how great and noble you are. This is an ego trip, that only you and those who are on the same type of ego trip could justify and applaud. You take narcissism and turn it into an art form.
