We loved Forge, but we need it to be cranked up to 2.0. Not anything like Far Cry 2's editor, but just give a few more things. What is that you may ask? Well, I'll keep a list of things commonly suggested if this gets to be popular.

MY REQUESTS:
An object called Forge Glue, you put it some where, it sticks, and will stick anything to the place it's stuck. Invisible out of forge.

90 Degree Snapping.

A New Forge Look. We're before Halo 1. No Spark. Why not something else?

No item limit. Instead, like FC2, a lag bar. It shows how much lag it will cause. Up to you not to make the mistake of going over.

AI.

All guns on all maps. I want to spawn with a CARBINE!

And a map twice the size of Avalanche (including the space between the main part and the sky box), %100 Blank.

COMMUNITY REQUESTS:
90 Degree Snapping Feature.

Veto for ARs!!!!

Dynamic objects.

Switches that you can 'tie' to other objects, which can be used to turn them on or off. Press a button, and a mancannon turns on. Press it again, it turns off. Of course, those settings could be changed in the options menu (limit turning things on again, etc) Would also work for shield doors and the like.

Combine that with doors, extendable bridges, weapon spawns... lots of possibilities there.

A map that is a completely blank canvas to work with

Bungie effed up twice
1.Foundry
2.Sandbox

I want a perfect square, no details that add unneeded geometry.

there should be just a blank map like a landfill. and u can do anything on it (with in reason) like change the wall graphic, and weather. and then normal forge in it or with added features like in the posts above.

Well, ODST has shown us that day/night variants of maps are possible, so how about the option to do just that, with the possibilty of some 'Forge Filter' to change it to day/night during gameplay.

Instead of "Block, Small" "Block, Large" "Block, Huge"
just one piece "Block" that is resizable... (to sensible restrictions)

Don't worry, Bungie has it covered, the Halo 3 forge editor wasn't originally meant to be map editor, just something to be used to make weapon placement, etc changes yourself instead of waiting for matchmaking updates.

Of course, when they found out the abilities of the community, they tried to make it more open with Foundry & Sandbox.

Just believe in Bungie, after all, what about all those community spotlights and where they asked "what would you like to see added to forge?", I'd say they've taken notice...

I just want to say, and will say it again. GIVE US THE ABILITY TO EDIT WEAPON TAGS. We could with CE, why not Forge? If I want to make me BR shoot rockets, let me. If I want to make my pistol capable of 3 shot kill. Let me. I know Forge wasn't supposed to be a map editor, thats not what I'm asking for. Bungie I am asking that you let us do at least some minimal weapon tag editing in forge, along with weapon editing on vehicles (Warthog that fires sniper rounds?) If a player makes his map unplayable because of the way he designed his weapons, that is his fault. If you give this to us Halo 3 will live for a very very long time even after you stop supporting it with new DLC. Seriously, Sniper Rifle that fires stickys cross map for a torque bow esque weapon? YES PLEASE.
