Subject: One change I would really like for Forge...

I would really like it if they got rid of the item limit for most objects.

I know they have their reasoning in Halo 3, and there probably is some physical limitation, but I just don't see why I can't have a map with 41 normal walls on it yet I can have a map with 40 normal walls, a pile of never ending fusion coils, flame grenades, and a fuel rod cannon (sounds like the start of a good B.U.N.G.L.E. map actually).

I can understand that some items impact the way the game operates and need to have a physical limit besides the budget / third mysterious limit, but really, when you are trying to make a map, it gets annoying when you are worrying about running out of flooring when you have plenty of wimpy ramps just laying around collecting dust.

It would make forging in Reach much easier for people who want to create bigger maps. I mean, I'd just like to be able to spawn as many of the basic building blocks without a limit besides budget, nothing too much to ask for, right?

Anyone know if this is feasible?

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

I hands you a cookie.
A larger amount of creativity could be done with expanding an item limit by 5.

I'm not so sure this is feasible, but I would like to see Forge having Unlimited Spawn Items.
If you spawn too mag it will make your game laggy and buggy. So there might be problems when there is an option for Unlimited Spawns.

Either do as you said in OP or at least increase the limit to like 35+, 50+ or possibly even 65+ based off of the item like Walls should be 50+ while the boxes be 35+ based off the maps as well. maps similar to foundry should be 50+ walls while maps similar to sandbox should be roughly 65+ walls.

Well, by "unlimited", I mean "You can keep spawning walls until you run out of budget."

Seriously. The game won't crash just because I spawn a ton of single walls.

I agree with that. i really dont see what the deal is.

Even if it did make it a little laggy thats the creators fault and his map will be bad.

I mean let us DO WHAT WE WANT BUNGIE! Even if you know it will lead to disapointment or regret. That is how we learn :D

I want one thing. The ability to snap items to 45 and 90 degree angles. THINK ABOUT IT. Have you ever got a wall and want it to stand upright, and adjacent to the other wall, exactly parallel? I know you guys fumbled with double boxes and random walls, and heard that CLUCK SHK CLUCK, every time you bumed it into something. A snap systyem would be very nice.
