Subject: New feature idea:Mission Maker & map maker

Awesome isn’t just a word. Awesome is a way of life. Awesome is a way of war. Teamwork matters the most. Lone Wolves jeopardize the missions. Teamwork is key. Resistance is futile. The covenant fear us, not the other way around. We don’t fight for Earth. We don’t fight for Reach. We fight for the good of mankind because we are A.W.E.S.O.M.E.

I think halo reach should have a new map maker similar to far cry 2 but with more textures.And when your finished you can go to forge and place items on the map.There would be no limit to how many items you could put down,and all the items from all the maps could be put in any level.There should also be a mission maker.In mission maker,you go to forge and get to place marines, ODSTs,grunts,jackles ,brutes,elites, and spartans on your map.You choose how they battle and when your finished you and your friends could battle with them.

Good idea or Bad idea?

My old Bungie.net account was created February 6, 2008. Unfortunately, I had signed up using my brother's email account (we then shared an Xbox Live account which was linked to my old Bungie.net account), and he changed the password, meaning I couldn't log in. Thus is why I have this account.

This idea wasn't very thought out was it?

There are plenty of problems with this.
Forge can't possibly be unlimited, it would cause lag and possibly make custom games even more unbalanced than they already are.
Far Cry 2's editor has its own flaws you have not spoken about.
Some people already have long load times on just forged maps. An edited map would make load times skyrocket.
This idea is SO original.

There should also be a mission maker.In mission maker,you go to forge and get to place marines, ODSTs,grunts,jackles ,brutes,elites, and spartans on your map.You choose how they battle and when your finished you and your friends could battle with them.
I actually love this idea, wonder if the 360 could handle it... hmmm...
So many ideas... like being able to change units teams, so you could have you with a squad of marines against a friend on the other team with a ton of grunts...
Don't think it'll happen, but lets all just keep hopeing...

Let's not. The map editor would get into coding difficulties if bots were implemented.

I like the concept, but how exactly would a mission editor work?

The mission editor would work, but it would look, act, and play afterwards like a gas leaking, oil spilling, flaming train wreck that crashed into a truck loaded with chickens and the train had explosives that went flying into the nearby small town causing massive fires and eventually a nuclear holocaust.

The Mission Editor would work like this:It would be in campaign.You play as the forge moniter on any level and you get to go through parts of the level one by one(So it has time to load the next part).In each part you can place up to 32 bots in each area, like forge only just bots.You can customize what they say,and the destinations of where you go.They are automatically programed to kill the Covenant but you can choose certain people they cant kill. You can only leave the area when you complete your first objective.When you go to the next area,the bots disapear.You customize when they get in vehicles,their spawn points and what weapons they have.This mode would be for people who have already beat Campaign over and over again and are tired of doing the same missions.

And also,I think bungie could make the load times be okay.I think they should take as much time as they need with this game so there would be no lag ,or long loading times because if its the last halo game,it should be awsome.

No matter how much time Bungie could spend on this, load times would still be long and the game would still lag. I can't think of any multiplayer game that works around these.

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

A mission editor for the 360 sounds like a lagfest. I am praying for a mission editor to come to Halo 3 PC should it ever come out, but I just don't see it happening. Custom made content = Microsoft can't release overpriced content, and they can't have that at all.

why would it be any different for a PC?

I like it, the custom missions could be played in the Reach equivalent of Firefight if it has such a thing. But I think I would prefer the map maker. Unlike forge, it would be like the Halo 2 PC program, but way easier to navigate. Your friends would have to download the maps to play on them, but they would be awesome.
OH, Idea, how about they include all this, and a Forge Program with features such as 90 Degree Snapping and Immobilize object, and include a database of nearly everything, including campaign items to be forged, and all this on one CD for the computer so you won't have to awkardly twiddle thumbstick to move an object exactly right.

Blackness Confirmed. You've got soul.


The Ultimate Opinion.

ARMA 2 did. But thats a PC game.

I still agree that this is not possible, as of this generation of gaming. But possibly... but not for a long time.

Bungie could make the forge mode thing you wanted, Like far cry 2's and then you can go into forge... but they won't. I am almost positive they will keep forge, but i doubt a new map editor will be in place.

Although, i could be wrong. you never know.

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

Don't know about the mission editor, but the map editor is a definite yes.
