There's been several highly sucessful map creators on consoles already. Unfortunately, these games that have these map editors aren't exactly highly addictive in multiplayer.

Considering how much people seem to desire a map editor for Halo as proven with what people treated forge as, who really wants to see a map editor for this game?

One sentence explains my answer to this... : Halo isn't Far Cry :P

Halo (even if it isn't part of the triology) should still be doing what Halo does best and that is letting you shoot the hell out of ugly things. Forge was a very good addition to Halo and is an addition that has revolutionised the way people think about Halo games and the capacity of a game but i think Bungie should draw the line at Forge; if they go any further then it'll take up too much time that could have been spent, for example, making better death animations for enemines :P

Well look at it this way. Compare the smoothness of gameplay and such between Far Cry 2 and Halo 3. I don't know about anyone else but Halo has some of the smoothest gameplay I've ever seen, which is why I love it. And also look at the map geometry in Halo games compared to those, its a lot more advanced.

Anyone who doesn't agree with having a custom map editor is just selfish. Halo needs this, because of it's incredibly large fan base it will have some really great maps. Some maps will be absolute rubbish, so just ignore those.

Yeah a good map editor would be great!

here is my ideas from my other thread:


i had the idea of a simple mode and an advanced mode, so everyone can make a quick map like we used to, and then people who want to make a whole new map can.

Simple mode would be like the forge we have now, but with some changes like:

-be able to move in one direction. Eg. along the x, y or z axis
-force rotaion at 90 degree angles or more
-being able to make objects float
-able to make any object static so it cannot move no matter what happens


Advanced mode would have all the extra features like terrain editing so everyone can do what they want. Advanced mode would have:

-Have a complete terrain editor where you can change the landscape completly and make whatever map you want to.

-Have all the objects and scenery from the default levels and campaign availible for use.

-Have individual wepon properties changes, such as how much ammo it has, damage, clip size, etc. for each gun you place down or for all you place. Also be able to change the the properties of vehicles, such as speed and gun damage, and be able to make it so that the engine or gun is broken, so its a stationary turret, or just a transport.

-Have mission creator, where you can make a small coop mission against AI or other people, such as destroy a base, or capture an object/vehicle/person.

-Be able you change the enviroment with night and day, and weather effects , such as rain, snow or fog.


If they included just a couple of these then it would be amazing.

Forge could be improved in many, many ways.
