I don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but I want to be able to snap objects to a grid and have the option to rotate at 90 degrees in any direction. I hate having to try and rotate stuff to a certain angle and having to adjust it over and over till I get it right.

Make a move I dare ya.

Oh yea I would pay 800 points and that is a great deal considering if they used all your options.

  • 05.11.2008 1:37 PM PDT

I'd pay all the mp points I have. (200)

Destiny awaits. And it will be great.

I'm more into your "function" ideas, especially the undo button. However, I like a lot of your ideas, including the breakable objects and placeable death barriers.

However, the fact of the matter is that an update of this sort would absolutely have to be free, and probably an AutoUpdate. Imagine if you spent the 800 points, bought this expansion, and made a map. You post the map on the forums, and lots of people love it. But they can't play it because they don't have the extra content/coding required to use the map, as they didn't download the expansion pack. Something like this would split the Forging "domain" into two distinct entities, the "haves" and the "have-nots." The "have-nots" are those that don't Forge or use custom content, and therefore decided not to buy the expansion. These have-nots comprise around 75% or more of the Halo 3 online population. Suddenly, you have the hardcore Forge Group with beautiful maps that can't be played by the majority of the community. These maps don't get recognized much since few can use them, and nobody really wins in the end.

Though I'd love an update like this, it doesn't seem plausible. I can see Bungie possibly adding some functions into Forge via an autoupdate, and adding new objects to new maps, but if I recall correctly they cannot modify the Forge palettes of previously released maps.

This is something I would really want and would pay for these updates no matter the cost!!! I also like the time of day update and openable and closeble doors but it would also be kewl to have different seasons as well, but what I really like are the placable covenants dead or alive same with marines and the delete all button. then again this is my opinion.

  • 05.11.2008 1:39 PM PDT

That would be awesome, I really do hope they are trying to put some of those things in now.

  • 05.11.2008 1:41 PM PDT

Who ever hates this update is not a person I would like so say YES!

Yeah, sounds pretty awesome.

  • 05.11.2008 1:43 PM PDT

All good ideas except the ones involving characters. I would also love a snap-to-grid type function, to allow us to lay things perfectly straight.

  • 05.11.2008 1:44 PM PDT

Never mettle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

I would definately be willing to pay for a huge update to Forge. There are few things in the OP that I don't think are necessary, but most of it is good.

I think there should make an object static (permanently still) or not.

I'd pay just for that.

  • 05.11.2008 1:56 PM PDT

Maybe if you have a new map like a map that is totally blank you could use all these updates.

You know you can use Invisibility and Overshields to determine between Blue Base and Red Base (A & B signs work too)

i r cool.

I'd pay for it.

I think it's more likely these things will be integrated into future map packs. If it was an update you would be forced to buy it to play any maps online.

This is probably the greatest idea in the world and is 100% reccomended and i know pros from MLG and they can tell bugie pesonally and your great idea will be told.
I would spend my whole college tuition to get it.
