Subject: Forge, Theatre, ANVIL (weapon editor)

I have been thinking about a new mode that could be in Halo Reach. This lobby or mode would be similar to that of editing custom games but much more advanced. It is similar to that of MLG Cheehwawa's idea on template weapons but the complete opposite. Instead of having the same weapon on the inside and different on the outside; have weapons that have manuipulated options picked but look the same as their own appearence.

Each weapon has the following options:
Damage: <6>
Melee Damage <50>
Rate of Fire <High>
Rounds Per Shot <1>
Headshot Bonus <Yes>
Magnification Levels <2>
Minimum Zoom <1>
Maximum Zoom <10>
Acceleration <5>

Some of you may regconize these options from "Halo Mapping Tools" (softare to modify Halo PC) and that's exactly where they came from. This editor would add huge custimizability thst isn't offered in other FPSs. It would be so much easier to create different gametypes and espeacially for MLG. Let's face it with custom games and Forge, the Halo Community is a very intuitive and user-created content oriented community.

So All weapons could be saved in a 'Set' with their own name and then can be put on their fileshare so other players play with them. If a player is playing customs they have to enable gametype, map and weapon set. It would also be cool if there were presets like "Halo CE", "Halo 3", "Tactical" or something to that effect.

What do you think?

I would enjoy to see this new concept come into play, because I love new options and game types and just new things in general. If it can be enabled and disabled in the right game modes than I think it could be a good new attribute to the game. "could".

If you experience any of these symptoms refrain from communicating with others until the symptoms have subsided.

This sounds great. It adds yet another level of customization that you know the fans would love to see. I would also like to see the option for "No weapon."

A long time ago, back through the mists of yesteryear, there once was a game called Marathon. Marathon was a truly great game and soon was released alongside Forge, and truly great map editor. Yet there was another editor called Anvil. Anvil let users tweak nearly every aspect of the game: physics, weapons, graphics, and sound. You name it, Anvil let you mess with it.

We have seen the rebirth of Forge alongside Halo 3, hopefully we can see Anvil reborn as well. Will I hold my breath for it? Not a chance and I'd advise anyone against do so as well. Still it would be a powerful tool that fans could use to craft some truly fantastic content.

Check this out.

This could stand beside your Weapon Editor and possibly a Vehicle Editor.

This idea sounds great, It would add much more depth and originality to some new game modes

  • 06.26.2009 2:39 AM PDT

Another one you should add is Projectile: Rocket Launcher that fires mulitple charged plasma pistol blasts for example.

i would absolutely love to have an anvil editor again. the only problem is that you will get those few players who would ridicuosly max out their weapons. other than that possible problem, I to hope that Anvil will rise again in REACH

  • 06.26.2009 3:25 PM PDT

one of the best ideas ever!!!!

  • 06.26.2009 6:23 PM PDT

Wow, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Bungie brought back this "Anvil" you guys speak of. If they brought back Forge for Halo 3 it is definately possible espesially since Bungie loves to relate Marathon to Halo. Let's Hope!!

Now would you be allowed to bring your custiomized weapons into matchmaking if so this could pose some problem such as really over powerful guns wich would end up being over used and become somewhat of a "pain in the ass" if this editor idea is used i hope bungie would put some MAJOR restrictions on this.

  • 06.26.2009 6:37 PM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

That would be an incredibly cool concept to put into play. I hope Bungie takes notes.

No the set would be chosen by Bungie for the playlist. But if a weapon set in successful for example an "MLG" weapon set could be implemented.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Like my Template Weapons idea... however, I think it would be good to have separate skins for weapons so you can tell visually what they "should" do if thats how you want to design it .

If they bring Anvil back for Halo: Reach, without a doubt that H:R will be the most played game of its time, I can't Imagine the possibilties of custom varients.

EDIT: Also with Anvil, it can be known as the most hardcore and casual game.

Halo: Reach really is the time and if they use Anvil as a Weapons Modification Tool, It would be great.

Lt Sartor: Dare kills her squad 4 r3c0n
goatman327]: they start bangin each other (buck and dare) in the back of the pelican in the end(thats y she kill squad, so they could hav some privacy on the ride home)
Graham 8D: 21 and didn't get. Not really bothered tho :) I just want that sexy body and one shoulder..

Holy crap I just multigasm'd just because of the name: ANVIL. That's -blam!- genius.

EDIT: And a few hours later, I realize that I should've totally read through the thread before knowing that Anvil was the name of the creator in the Marathon series.

You and App S Lawlz should totally combine these ideas together.

I think it would be cool to get attributes as you rank up and perks and stuff to your gun mybe a weapon system more like CoD?

They should also include weapon color so that a normal pistol can be distinguished from say a super pistol

  • 06.27.2009 11:07 AM PDT

Yes but then models to carry those weapons have to be made. With the modifications listed all of the changes wouldn't be visible so it would be a lot easier to make.

  • 06.27.2009 11:19 AM PDT

i think this could go far (i like the idea)
