How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

I, like most Forgers, would like Forge to have more capability.

What new thing do you want Forge to do?

I want to have a Geomerge tool, and the ability to place movable objects so they overlap and become a single object. *Cough*Scorpion with a Fusion coil*Cough*

lol nice,anyways they REALLY need a undo object and also when you pick up a object that is placed nearly where you want it it moves erratickly and you have to replace the whole thing

You have no rights, play nice.

yah. a merging tool and a geomerging tool would be awesome. IT would make the process much simpler. Also, a budget seems a bit eratic. I mean, why have a restriction?

Mongoose + lots of fusion coils = fun, suicidal anarchy.

they need a budget to keep from people overloading the game :)

  • 07.17.2009 9:19 AM PDT

I agree about removing the budget. We already know how to get around it, so what's the point of keeping it? Maybe just as a warning or something.

I think we should be able to change more of the game options-like in the lobby like we can with custom games. FFA Forge ffs (And indestructible vehicles).

i want to change what projectiles weapons fire

"ah yes i love the BR, here comes an enemy *fires needler round*, wait?.... what?, no!!!!"

on a more serious note....

an easier way to float objects

and a forge map for every style that is similar to sandbox (having 3 tiers)
human forge map (foundry?)
covenant forge map (assembly?... heretic?)
forerunner forge map (citadel)
precurser forge map (sandbox)
flood forge map (EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW)

and on these maps i want tons of objects, for many more possibilities.

OH ONE MORE THING:

an object limit counter that tells you how many more TOTAL objects you can place.

the budget should be removed just keep the object limit.

Flood forge map?
Most likely is people setting up obscene screenshots.
Flood=fleshy :P

I got my Recon for the '08 VDay tournament for second most kills; 2671.

I didn't "earn" it via VidMasters.

Based on the success of Halo 3's Forge, I assume, this time around, it will be a full-blown map editor. Possibly creating maps on a computer, then transferring to your XBox.

  • 07.17.2009 11:48 AM PDT

yes i would like to to mix a scorpion turret with a warthog body kind like customizing the vehicles and turrets

It's cherry, tastes like strawberry, looks like watermelon, and you think it's raspberry just because.

I think the civilization styled forge maps would be cool, but I think what would also be good is to have different civilization categories in the forge menu. For instance: you open up the forge menu and pick human style, then you can go back to the style categories for the items and pick flood or whatever. Also, not sandbox items for Precursors, because they were even more advanced than the Forerunners, being at Tier 0 in the Technology Tiers.

Also, there should be, like others have said, a tool which allows you to meld, weld (as in stick together, but only used on non-operable items), geomeld, and freeze items in midair. And Bungie should finally make good on their statement that they would add NPCs to the forge items. It would be great just to be running along in a forged map, say in the covenant style, and then see a little grunt run by, and just shoot him in the face (for no extra points of course). Or, you could make it so that the NPCs don't see you, and if they are enemies, fight amongst themselves. You could have maps like a Coliseum map, where you could have a bunch of different cages, with different NPCs in each, let them out (at least some of them), and watch them fight. People could even make bets on who would win. Of course, there wouldn't be any actual money gambling or anything like that, I mean bets simply for fun.

Also, there should be 45 or 22.5 degree snaps, and grid snaps (optional of course).

These ideas are good. Keep it up!

No.

A forge weld tool. It would allow you to weld some objects together.

Something like Gmod's advanced duplicator. It would allow you to take those welded structures and save them as objects that you can then paste onto any map.

A no collide feature. It would allow objects to go through other set objects. It would make intersections a lot easier.

Switches. Doors, fans, motors, hydraulics, all that stuff. You'd set paramiters like "how fast does it movie? How much to the pistons exend? Toggle?" And you'd have another object set called "switches". It would include buttons, levers, knobs, and other stuffl like that. You'd match the moving objects to the switches the same way you match up teleporters.

Terrain. Sure a terrain deformer would be cool, but unlikely. If we can't have it, then I'd like the ability to place plants/ rocks. A library of tree/ bush objects could be cool, as would a library of boulders. Crashed chips would be cool too. In fact, here should be the ability to place downed vehicle objects just for show. Maybe even dead bodies.

A paint tool. the ability to paint decals on objects. Bullet holes, rust, blood, the whole nine.

Yeah, those are my ideas.

This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends;
Not with a bang but a whimper.

Perhaps make a day-night bar so you can chose how light it is instead of haveing to mix those color effects. Then maybe make it so that it can get gradually darker as well.

Also, what if they gave you several skyboxes to chose from. Not the skybubble, skyboxes, the pretty pictures in the background.

GameBattles Team:

I hope you can "snap" objects together, it could only work right on maps like Foundry and Sandbox because of the flat surfaces you have to build on, but it would help build a map that is perfectly "square" with 90 degree corners and such...

a wall that could stand up would be good. every time i try putting a wall up on sandbox it falls down

  • 07.23.2009 5:16 AM PDT

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Day and night effects would be awesome, as well as weather adjustment etc. I'm an avid Forger and though the system is good it is far from perfect...
