Do you think there will be forge in Firefight? How do you think it will affect gameplay? What would you like to see?

Discuss.

There was something on ign stating that there will be no forge mode for fire fight.

There should be, but there probably won't be.

I am going to lube your butt hole with nacho cheese and -blam!- you with a crowbar.

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

It would be fun for some, but it's apparently not happening.

Yeah. I'm back. Whatcha gonna do about it?

Honsetly, no I don't see Forging in Firefight for a few reasons.

1: The rest of the Mythic maps will be released with ODST and the multiplayer servers will be the same as the Halo 3 servers as far as Forging and Matchmaking are concerned.

2: Firefight seems to be based in Mombasa and the Idea of being able to Forge your own Firefight map seems unlikely since many would build maps where they cannot be beaten by the AI.

3: The maps will most likely be set-up to be challenging to the players in a way that makes them fun. If anyone could just forge their own Firefight maps, the challenge would disapear and not many would play, in my opinion.

4: If able to Forge Firefight maps, achievements would be too easy to 'achieve' should any be set to that game-play type.

So no, I don't see Forging being part of the Firefight experience, sorry.

Thats sad. Would have liked to build a base.

AI don't do well when you place random objects in their way. The AI In the campaign are designed specifically for the senario, its one of the reasons your allies suck so bad because they were designed for general combat situations.

Besides, whats to stop you from spawning unlimited power weapons in a small narrow area which you can use to easily get achievements?

Soccer balls would be irrelevant, but being able to add a bit of cover here, a turret there, a sniper over there....etc, would be awesome.

-hi5!- We apparently thought of the same points there, bro.

if you could forge your firefight map, nearly everyone would have a base with an armory with all the power weps and lots of ammo, all turrents. (if there were kill balls people would put them everywhere) and a really tall tower for sniping, a super tall walls with grenade instant respawns on them. and a ton of trip mines

  • 06.02.2009 7:39 PM PDT

Also there would be a ton of fusion coils on instant respawn so the entire map would keep on exploding. totally unfair. maybe there can be a forge for fire fight except that you are unable to get achivements. forge just for fun

Make it unlockable!

It would be fun to make your stronghold overly powerful. Perhaps there would be some "Balance" measure. If you give yourself like 10 Lasers and turrets, enemies will be Chieftains, tons of wraiths..etc.

i would totally use forge on firefight to make a base and armory and sniper tower. (like if you use forge for firefight you cant get achievements) i wouldn't have to worry about the covenant getting in my base. though i could use that advantage and the armory to train my aim. that would really help me

It could be like customs, you cannot get achievements improve stats etc.

  • 06.02.2009 7:48 PM PDT

Forge on firefight maps would be a bad idea. You could just make one big base with turrets all around, and as many weapons as you like. Too unbalanced.

Bartoneye93, You are missing out on a great idea for forge on Firefight. Do you really think that bunige will let people take advantage of forge to get these achievements or to make the game easier? What forge will do for firefight, just something with a smaller selection of materials or money, it will allow players to make cool scenarios to make cool traps made out of fusion coils, or to formulate ambushes or just to have a, "Fall back" zone. by adding forge, there are so many cooler maps that have been made in halo 3 multilayer, and by adding it to firefight, your gonna make it that much cooler.

i havent heard anything about forge in firefight.

  • 06.24.2009 9:45 PM PDT

][-][ //-\\ ][_ ((_))

I wonder if bungie are saving it for a secret DLC? Like after they have released a map pack or 2 for firefight they might start to make forgeable firefight maps. Or maybe split into two teams, one working on firefight forge and the other on map packs...
