Subject: Custom Maps for Firefight?

So you went to the trouble of clicking on my profile, either to send a group invite or hate message, or to check my Halo stats and call me a BK. I like Peanut Butter Waffles.

I know this may seem riduclous, but it also seems pretty cool. What if you could use forge or some other editing program to make firefight maps? You would be able to embed AI into the map, their spawn points, what weapons they have, ect. If you are here to flame, don't post.

Someone came up with this idea when it was announced, a long time ago. It cannot be done because Firefight runs of of a Campaign engine.

"Dear Bungie.net, we regret being stubborn bastards, we regret coming to this forum, and we most definitely regret that Darth Kooky blew up our raggedy-ass opinion!"

Firefight is all about 4 buddies using tactics to kick ass, or get their asses kicked. Since it relies so heavily on tactical advantages, crates and other scenery for impromptu cover, and using the weapons available, adding Forge to the mix would mean impenetrable blockades made out of different objects with 4 turrets sticking out and Spartan Lasers and Rocket Launchers adorning every nook and cranny in the armory. Bungie discluded it for such reasons.

Spartans are from Venus and Elites are from Uranus

Probably not. It'd be way too easy to earn all the achievements for Fire Fight if you could set it up with Forge.

That's the sad thing about it. Poor map makers will start making those "Fat Kid" type of maps. The humans have everything, and the zombies have nothing. Not saying fat kid isn't fun though. lol

I will be there to answer your questions! No matter how obvious or stupid they may be, don't be afraid to ask. It'll pay off in the long haul.

if it was like that it would be to easy people would build inpenetrable forts that would be stacked with weapons and get whatever the rewards firefight will have (Im talking about acheivments obviously there will be a few) in just a few hours tops
