Yeah, that would be a pretty cool update. I think, though, something like that is a bit too important to be a 800 gp update. Sounds like AT LEAST a 1200 gp update, or, actually, a seperate disk. Such as they could release a Halo 3 Map Editing disk or something, costing around 20 bucks. Some games, such as Unreal Tournament, and an old Star Trek game, have things such as this as seperate programs.
Also, I have ideas for more interesting functions of this map editing fantasy. I'll just pitch them in.
Weapon customization? Like, a placed weapon could have things modified, like its tinting, damage, projectile, projectile speed, weapon zoom extents and such. This is a bit far-fetched for XBox 360, but many PC games have editing such as this.
Another interesting feature I could think of would be to have customization in the effects of ANY object, meaning that not only could man-cannons and grav lifts have increased power, but that the path of travel could be adjusted. This could be carried out through... Idk, placing objective points for path of travel, which would be visable only in editing mode. As well as customization of effects of lifts, customization of objects such as fusion coils; increasing the explosion area and damage and such. I also propose having a customization of the weight of objects, meaning that an increased or decreased weight would make them easier or harder to move.
I also propose a new forge obect, which would be a bit easier to add to forge than the customizations; a light; not red or blue, but a bright light and dark light, to make areas of the map brighter or darker. These would have to be limited to 2 or so each. Players could make an area excessively dark or bright by placing both in one area, or, to be entirely pointless, place all four in the same place, just for the heck of it... This sounds like something I would do.
Any customization of objects would have to have a limit, as far as how much it could be done, as a game designed to load objects a specific way would have difficulty having to load EVERY object being different...
Oh and guys, please stop spamming posts that really don't matter in this section. He's trying to read everything to see what ideas are good, but wading through a hundred people posting the same thing; "Shun the non-believers" and such, really makes it diffictult to find anything of use...
