Subject: Forge in Firefight?

Heyyyyoh.

Perhaps they already announced you will not be able to forge in Firefight, but I didn't see that.

I understand Firefight is a game mode only available for play in campaign missions you have already cleared, but there is ALWAYS the possibility that Bungie will release a DLC allowing forgers to forge Firefight maps, campaign missions and multiplayer maps alike.

Take for example Valhalla. Forgers will still be able to place respawn points, starting zones, scenery objetcs, and weapons. (Although, Bungie would most likely make a restriction as to how many weapons can be forged.) Implementing a few filters and fixes, Bungie could prevent players from forging huge fortified bunkers with unlimited ammo within, thus forcing players to constantly move and change tactics instead of camping inside a forged structure. Forgers will also be able to set when and where the enemy forces will enter the map and deploy into combat, but they will be FORCED to spread out enemy spawn points across the map.


Such a feature could be implemented, thoughts?

noone knows but it would be sweet. but only on the firefight maps

Heyyyyoh.

I'm thinking you would only be able to forge on Firefight maps and small to medium sized multiplayer maps, converting those into Firefight maps.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

It would be great, but a video showing gameplay of ODST, including the real main menu, already confirmed that you cannot forge Firefight.

Heyyyyoh.

As I stated in my first post, it would be released as a DLC, although much later on.

I wouldn't like it. People would build really cheap maps just for achievements.

Heyyyyoh.

The fact that people would try to exploit it for achievements would be something that cannot be stopped. Players exploit the games just for acheivements, and I'm talking every single game out there.

A perfect example would be CoD...


Although achievements could be disabled on forged Firefight maps, just like how a cheat code would negate achievements.

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

Let us Forge - Making restrictions of what we can do - Bad idea.

It would be like finetuning maps, which isn't required or very useful if the original maps are great.

Some people suggested after Halo3 that multiplayer maps should have placeable AI - didn't happen.

Heyyyyoh.

Forging a Firefight map would be fun, not bad. It would only serve to allow players a little more freedom, while limiting our options to keep Firefight the way it was intended to be.

Also, I am an experienced modder, so I know for a fact that creating and placing an A.I. on a multiplayer map is nearly impossible, in almost every game. If you want a smart A.I. on a multiplayer map, it would require extreme scripting and would only be a waste of time and money. BTW, I do not mod Halo 3.

I want it sooo badly, ever since I heard this idea I started drooling over the possibilities. What I was thinking of though was forging on the actual Firefight maps, and possibly even taking it a step further would be to not only forge on them, but add a custom games option for it! It would make it so much more tasteful and amazing

Heyyyyoh.

It would be, but I'm not too sure about what you mean by "custom games option."

Sorry, I'll try to be clearer: it would be just like the regular custom game editor on Halo 3, but for Firefight - e.g. you could edit rounds, create/edit waves, point system, time length, infinite ammo, etc.

Heyyyyoh.

Ah, I understand now. That would be great, but you should NOT be able to set unlimited ammo and how much health you have.

why not? its too make it more fun, and you cant prove anything of your skill if online it says you played firefight on an edited map. and with unlimited ammo, it can help you get farther, and then results in a bigger challenge

NO SOUP FOR YOU

ERIKOZZY want to make grunts fly in forge!
