Two years ago or not, this is still a request that would fit in Halo 3 or Reach.
One thing no one has mentioned is "area portals".
http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Areaportal
An areaportal is a term and entity designed for Valves Source engine, but the same concept is in all three-dimensional games. An areaportal has to do with rendering stuff you select instead of everything in your map.
Here's an example:
You build a mansion and it lags like crazy because the game is rendering the entire mansion, along with any explosions that occur. If you put area portals around every room, you will only render the room you're in. I've played WAY to many Forge maps that look great but lag so much that it's not fun to play.
We need an areaportal feature Bungie.
