First off I think that some of the suggestions are way to far out of the question:

-Any Custom terrain (Trees, Hills, Mountains....ect.)
-Weather
-Time
-Roads
-Wrecked Pelicans/Phantoms

Why you ask?

Because Bungie Spent long and hard making a great Map that they call their own. Adding any of the above contradicts what they made and takes away it's originality. Yes I would love to be able to create my own environments and maps, but with millions of people making original maps it would get out of hand and there would be so much crap maps out in the sea of custom content that the meaning of forge would be completely changed. Currently you as a forger look at a map and consider, what can I do to make this my own? When really your just changing BUNGIE's Map to fit something of yours. Another problem would be a whole lot more of mods and -blam- to be rounded up in file shares that seems to have finally come to at least a slow pace.

There are some things that I do agree are reasonable though:

-90 degree snaps
-A Delete Filter (Vehicles, Weapons, Everything)
-Guardians (Editable Death barriers similar to territories)
-Mounted Missile Pod (GREAT FOR MINI GAMES)
-Undo

I didn't mention alot other things but It wasn't really necessary. I also think some things would be to hard to integrate into the current HUD set up for forge.

Sorry to "Flame" but I wanted to state my opinion.

Thanks for reading!

That is why they would make a blank canvas from which you start your map from the groud and not editing something they have allready made.

These are all great ideas!!!!!! i love them all i would play even more than 800 MP for this, great ideas for all that came up with them

  • 08.18.2009 11:40 PM PDT

Yes. I think it is worth it. I could really use the undo button. Sadly, I don't think that will happen. Some of it is too complicated.

I think that this would be amazing, in so many ways. For those guys who make racer maps, no more stacking and waiting for respawn delays. For Infection ap makers, night time with blood spatter and bodies in the maps... (maybe adjustable lights on top of that). Slayer maps would be able to get more complex with the weaponry and ammo locations.

Best of all, if we can get the merging and position locks, we wont need to stack an we wont need to start new rounds.

I am one of those guys who spends more time in forge than play, and when I do play its custom games in my maps.

I would love this and so be willing to pay, but if they could include it as a patch with ODST or just an update, that would be pretty cool too. So, BUNGIE, if your willing I look forward to seeing what you can do, but I won't be too surprised if we dont get it, that would be a lot of programming, indeed.

i like the scenery idea with trees, bodies, broken pelican, etc etc.

i love the idea of added vehicles like shade turrets, troop hogs, and the jackal tower also.

i would love a larger foundry style map that would give a more "earthy" feel to the game.

undo/delete all button would be a life saver.

breakable walls and glass i love. Guardians or "dead zones" plus door you can open and close would be extra awesome.

the ability to edit objects further such as skins for vehicles or allowing turrets to be immovable.

the resizing of objects i think would over-complicate forge for some of the people so not my favorite. however i like the "stay here and dont move" idea so you don't need to constantly add and delete things.

I would pay 4000 MS Points...

  • 08.19.2009 8:50 PM PDT

Ya That Would Be The Worth =)

  • 08.19.2009 8:55 PM PDT

I would pay the 800MS or even more then that. I don't think it will happen in the near future but I do think Bungie should pick up on some of these ideas to enhance the forge.

I do agree with some posters that some of the ideas would be to complicated and take a lot of time programming... but other things like the "lock" and "undo" features should most defiantly be considered. :)

  • 08.19.2009 10:02 PM PDT

Ueg Legends LT

omg id pay 1200 points for this its like a dram some of it is not reasonable but yes yes yes wait ill take the hell yes option if u will

  • 08.20.2009 4:13 AM PDT

Meow?

Bungie and Microsoft have taken enough of my money. Why would you make a thread announcing that you'll pay more money to people who have already squeezed every dime they can from you? I think Forge could certainly benefit from several of the ideas mentioned here, but a Title Update is a more reasonable solution than more DLC.

  • 08.20.2009 6:11 AM PDT

i am gunna support u on this one. bungie needs to add these features u listed to make forging more fun and easier. i could imagine all the kinds of crazy maps people would be coming out with. interlocking objects in forge now is a pain restarting the round all the time and figuring out where to place the item.

  • 08.20.2009 8:49 AM PDT

We Are ODST - Prepare to Drop

I would love it...

We all would

  • 08.20.2009 7:55 PM PDT

it seriously should be free if it is true... too much like garry;s mod

  • 08.20.2009 8:39 PM PDT

I would Absolute Pay for this!!! THis would be REDICULOUS!!!

  • 08.20.2009 8:55 PM PDT

It started when the phone rang, and it all went downhill from there...

Yeah, I LOVE Forging, and I've actually thought of some of these ideas while I Forged (Before I saw the thread.) The Locking idea would be great, I think that every body needs that, but there should be an option to turn it on/off if it was created.

Unfourtunautly, these are a lot of ideas, and I won't be surprised if Bungie doeasn't make the update, but even if they took a few ideas and turned it into a free update would be cool.

Either way, I would definatly spend 800 on this, or even more.

all of that should be implemented except the roads and terrain, that would need alot of debate.

  • 08.21.2009 12:39 AM PDT

Viva La Revolution!
Social Infection ftw

I would pay. Also want Green covenant vehicles, like the ones the Covenant Separatists use.

  • 08.21.2009 12:44 AM PDT

I would pay a max of 1600 ms points and min of 800 i think bungie would be the best if it was free or cheaper than 800 will bungie listen to this though who knows

  • 08.21.2009 1:15 AM PDT

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

yes,yes,yes, and more yes.

  • 08.21.2009 11:12 AM PDT

it would be fun to take a dead body and slap it into stuff
