Ok so forge was a feature introduced in Halo 3. However it is far from perfect. Were as it is easy to spawn objects but putting them right were you want is something else. So here's a question for you. Assuming they keep forge in Halo Reach what you would like to see improved about forge?

I personally would like a "A line to Grid" option for picture perfect walls and such.

I want everything to be built the same. I want interlocking and geomerging the same.


However, a few things that would be nice...
- a save object feature that locks together multiple objects and saves them as one. So, yuo could say lock together the map, pick up the entire map and move it.
- 90 degree angle snap, but that's not that important.

that's it.

Remember, we are talking about forge, if anyone comes in here about sky tectures and terrain, that's a map editor.

~~Christian

the only problem that ive run into in forge is the fact that half the time when youre trying to delete and object, the object behind the one you are trying to delete gets deleted... thats the only bug ive seen.

i want to be able to move an object in one direction.

so you can move it along the axis so once you got it in the right place in one direction, it doesnt move out of it.

also to be able to make objects float, and lock any object so it cant move in any direction.

That would be nice

i made a post on somthing i want ill quote it here found it

Posted by: ares23
have you ever forged a map and it felt good and done but you couldn't get a party together to test it.well i have a solution i think im not even sure its possible. but if so it would be a great testing ground.well here i go.how about we have a party creator for those of else that want to test a map.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


if hosting a map:

1.you choose what game type you wish to test it on. slayer ,assault, ctf, infection,etc

2.choose how many players minimum 1-16 assuming bungie sticks to there usual numbers

3. choose how many players maximum 1-16

4. choose minimum ranks of players 1-50 in selected game type (some people like playing with people around there ranks)

5.choose maximum ranks of players 1-50 in selected game type

6.desired rounds 1-5(to keep testing periods short)

7.choose weapon start(not needed look to #8)

8. choose game type.

9.suggestions

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if joining a game:

1.choose preferred game type or multiple game types

2.choose if you desire to be on same team as your party if you have one if in team game type

3.choose preferred weapon start

4.suggestions?



as i said in the beginning this probably not be possible due to the usual set up of halo games
I know some wont like this idea but ill put my flame resistant armor on and post it.

All your world are belong to us.

bodies, blood? no, i know there are bodies in campain, but people will over do it and make disgusting messes, i enjoy gruesome games, i enjoy good ol' halo, but I dont want those things to mix and i reckon alot of people will agree.

"Through the fog the army moves on. Pushing through borders. Knocking over obstacles. Killing all enemies. Victory is secured, brothers, march on until the flag rises over the landscape."
The Holy Council

Halo reach should have the things we couldnt do in forge via halo 3 if there will be forge in any more halo games whatsoever

Two movies you should watch: Fight Club and Pineapple Express

"Wait. What do you mean, it's dead?"
"If marijuana is not legal within the next five years I have no faith left in humanity, period. Everyone likes smoking weed. They have for thousands of years. They're not going to stop anytime soon. You know? It makes everything better. Makes food taste better, makes music better. It makes sex feel better for God's sake. It makes -blam!- movies better you know?"

I'd like to see an undo option, freezing objects in midair and any direction you want unlike direction placement now. Also maybe an extend/enlarge, shrink option on objects and maybe instead of a money and item limit, instead have a bar that shows maximum performance so you'll be warned when things could start to lag. This would allow people to have an unlimited amount of items but at the same time help forgers keep the levels at maximum performance.

i like your ideas but you have to understand the limits are there because that is all the map can hold

I'm guessing there's a reason the "what would you like in forge" on the group questions... is going to be in Reach
