Sounds like a great idea, unfortunately I don't see Bungie ever doing this.

I would definitely pay 800 points for this type of update!

Absolutely. I like the spraypaint idea and Forge frustrates the heck out of me. To make it more "accessible" to players would be a terrific improvement. Just about everything in the list sounds great and it would be delightful to see a game company actually listen to its fans and cater to something like this. Think about it Bungie - you can't lose!

And I'd pay more than 800 MS Points, too. I'd pay 2K or more. However much to have an update like this; it would be too good to condone.

110 % agree, I just want to place things in the air easily so they do not move!

I also wish you could fuse items together easily, but no its very difficult and you have to look through a guide =(

Public Service announcements you will never see: "When you drink and drive... drive real fast. And dont forget to eat mints, it fools the cops."

I am speechless... but don't worry! It's in a good way.

After reading your entire post, I would have give your idea(s) an 8.9 out of 10.

I'm sure some of them were contributed by people's comments or other suggestions, but the overall idea of having and uprgade to our maps instead of just new ones is great.

(Not to say to bungie that I am dissapointed with the several new maps you have put out, but rather dissapointed that you haven't done a similiar idea to this progressively over x-box live.)

My opinion

I'm sure, with all respect to bungie, that these would be very hard and confusing updates to add to all of our systems. But if they could just do maybe a couple at a time over a span of several months, then that would be more reasonable to ask.

And of course I would pay a measly 800ms for an update such as this, it's just that. If theoratically, your idea worked. The update would take forever to upload. So that's why I am suggesting to just have several mini updates instead.

Now of course, some people have wound up reading every comment and I may be copying another person's ideas and such. But I don't want to read several hundred comments, so I figure I might as well just be detailed instead.

Two ideas of yours I wish to Go..... uhhh, bungie employess to happen. Is that bottomless pit one and "delete all" button one. So many possibilities are instantly made after the option of these. Just imagine game players at home... "Dang it, if only there was a button that could delete everything on the map. Oh wait... THERE IS!"

Obviously no one would ever say it like that, but you get the point.

Why the rating

If your curious at all on why I praise the idea so much, but only give it an 8.9/10.

.3 taken off because it would be extremely time-consuming to press this button to get to that button to make this button work

.2 taken off becuase of unrealism in many retrospects.

.2 taken off becuase this would just be yet another update to online gameplay instead of having something more campaign related. The stroyline of halo seems almost forgotten excluding the urge to beat it on mythic.

.2 taken off becuase it is a lot to ask of bungie. As I said earlier it would be interesting to have some of the ideas added, but we all seem to be fine with the maps coming out, and Halo 3:ODST.

.1 taken off becuase of madness. Some people would just go insane with all the features when they are just trying to create this simple little..... cops and robbers map or something.

.1 taken off becuase I think for all these ideas, it should cost more than 800ms.




Hopefully you have read and understood my opinion. I obviously know I may get some flames from people, but I really hope not. This is just MY OPINION, and you didn't even have to read it.

Thank you.

  • 07.19.2009 8:21 PM PDT

Don't fear the Reaper!

BUNGIE PLEASE CONSIDER THIS FOR ODST. I WOULD LOVE YOU EVEN MORE =)

An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it.

If this update were to be released, I would gladly pay money to get it. To me, it would make Forge more useful and accessible to someone who doesn't want to spend hours geomerging objects.

Yes i would like to edit vehicles colors and even pay 800 mspts for all of these things, please bungie consider these options they are great ideas :)

  • 07.20.2009 7:08 AM PDT

These are all terrific ideas, i would probably buy it, but i wouldnt want to spend the money. Either way great idea. The shade turret, merging buttons (im always to lazy to merge myself) undo, all of those buttons, and then the banners, its all good.

May I borrow your earpiece? This is scout! Rainbows make me cry!

Maybe not so much with the dead characters, but everything else sounds amazing. I would pay 1600 points for a massive forge update.

Please DONT bother me with group invites. I play halo for my entertainment and have absolutely no interest in joining any group no matter what.

probably not. although it sounds cool i never use forge so it would be pointless

  • 07.20.2009 7:59 AM PDT

If you had a dream of you beating me, you better wake up and apologize.

I'd would pay for it, but i doubt bungie loves that much

  • 07.20.2009 8:10 AM PDT

I have something to add t that you would start off in a massive white cube with plenty of grid lines, where you could Place whatever terrain you would like whether it be jungle or blizzard snow you can use tools to make mountains and hills or small bumps and with the spray paint you should be able to add texture.

  • 07.20.2009 8:23 AM PDT

Waffles taste so. . .waffely. . .

I'd like to see a temporary wall thing. Like say you want to build a roof over a nice building you made but you don't want to fill in the building with stuff to hold the roof, put the roof on, delete all the holders and then be done. Instead you could place a wall or something that you want to be a marker for how high the roof should be. Then you select Temporary roof/wall in the forge menu, and it gives you an icon to select an object. It would only select faces of an object, and turn whatever face you were selecting blue or orange or whatever (so you could make sure you were selecting the right thing). Then you'd press A and a new temporary floor would be made. So if you selected the top of a standard foundry wall and then got a new object. The farthest that object would move down would be equal to that wall. This could also be used to create straight walls by simply selecting the side of the foundry wall, then you could line up the rest of the tiles. Go to the forge menu tell it to remove the temporary wall and bam! you have a perfectly straight wall (or celling) that could go as far as you want.

I'd also like to see a snap to grid option. This would make it for while you have it active, every object you use will only go on a grid line (like there are in sandbox) this could help if you want to get clean cut corners or whatever. Then when you turn it off, it's back to normal and you can put any object wherever you want to.

I didn't die! I strategically miscalculated.

I would pay far more than 800 for that.

  • 07.20.2009 9:02 AM PDT

yes, though if they just made it where i could edit maps on my computer then download them to halo id be happy

i do not think though that we should pay over 800 mspts because most people do not use forge, so instead of raiseing it so high we keep it low so more people will buy it.

yes bungie should really do this, it would make forging alot easier AND alot funner, wow that be really fun, also they should make it easier to place walls, like the walls would stand up straight (like an option that gives you the opportunity to make everything perfectly straight and placed perfectly (like not slanted) and the other option is to place it however you like (the way we forge things now)

OMG i would pay 1200 Microsoft points for this!to bad bungie would probably never accept it.

i love forge and the copy and paste is a great idea and the other ones

  • 07.20.2009 12:12 PM PDT

I bought Far Cry 2 simply because of the level creator, but I never spent time making a quality map. I felt like I couldn't do things as accurately as in Halo 3's forge. I hope that this could be packed in Halo 3: ODST. I know that not everything will be able to be put into forge, (AI) but I like the idea of changing the size of objects/terrain.

If this never gets on console, maybe it could be released standalone on PC like a developer's kit, or when/if Halo 3 comes on PC.

My only problem with this is, if this is ever released, will people still purchase maps made by Bungie?

1 more thing to add to this forge update, you should have spartan heads as sceanery and have loose helmets. then after putting these things on you should have pre-bloodstains made by bungie to customize your vehicle whatever it may be.
