Subject: Halo Reach Forge?

Okay i created this topic to hear your opinion on Forge for Halo Reach. Bungie has said that Forge in Halo 3 was not created as a map maker, it was created as a map editor (i.e. adding extra crates and fusion coils around the map). They then realized that people were wanting to create there own maps entirely so they made foundry and sandbox.

So my question to you is "Do you think Halo Reach should have a total map maker?"
Maybe something like from Far Cry 2 so we can create the land and everything. Or do you not want a map maker at all? (Your dumb if you agree with the last statement)

Just let me know of anything that comes to your mind when you think of "Forge for Halo Reach"

Yeah, because we all know that weird guys on youtube always speak the truth.

Posting on bungie.net should require that the user has had to have read a chapter book all the way through.

Yes they need it!

so you guys agree that the "Forge" (if they even call it that...) needs to be something like Far Cry 2's map editor only it needs to of course be Halofied? (LOL)

I would be happy with a map maker like Far Cry 2's or something like a forge 2.0 that has the features that forge in halo 3 needed like a forge glue, an undo option, being able to highlight a group of objects (like a base you have made) and pick it up and move it.

Honestly, forge would be great if Bungie would add a system that allowed us to place objects with ease.

Now, if they could add an object placer system like LittleBigPlanet on the Ps3 then I could live with just forge and make do with working on pre fabricated maps like sandbox.

LBP Creation Tool

If you notice, the game allows you to pick the material(stone,wood,metal), the shape, then you can adjust the size accordingly.

Once those things are done you can place it accurately on a grid horizontally or vertically.

I think a system similar to this would be a welcome addition to forge without a complete overhaul into a map maker.

Its not luck, its the TwitchFactor.™

We also need 90° snapping, copy and past, and auto-merging.
