Forging AIs, scenery editing (like adding more grass, or dirt , trees, or even flood spores), more destructable objects, placable interactive objects (such as openable doors or buttons), ability to place guardian like objects (like the killball only more customizable), a realtime camera (like a security camera), vehicle teleporters, and custom signs.

post a reply for any ideas you like or don't like.

Placeable trees (like the one in the Foresthalla mod)

agreed deleting everything by hand is annoying
and canvases take up memory

I would want to be able to place squid! Giant squid everywhere, and for the sand levels, those worms from dune. So when you acidently walk on the wrong spot, BOOM! eaten by a giant freaking worm. And when you fall in the water, BOOM! eaten by a giant freaking squid.

Well in another thread someone said that it would be cool if you could use Natal for importing textures to be used on walls and whatnot. The only thing wrong with that is people importing Swasticas (sp?) and inapropriate things,

That's an excelent point
i remember reading about a racing game where you could import pictures to paint on the cars
it jumped up the rating from teen to adult because someone put inappropriate things on their cars
i don't want to see that happen to Halo

I'd like bungie to go to The Home Depot (or Lowes) and write down everything they see then include it in forge

Despawning

Despawn + respawn timer (if it despawns lets have it come back too.)

Custom respawn/despawn times. IE 1 minute 2 seconds with an upwards of 1 hour just to be sure we get it covered.

Easy geomerging with everything

Every Type of forge object is available in ALL maps. And not scenery or area specific. (Like not JUST old sand blocks on sandbox. Add some from every map. Like avalance objects on sandbox.)

Easy floor placement. (Such as for the sky bubble) making a floor wastes rescources. it'd be nice to have a floor in place already. That's toggleable.

Non-ripable turrets.

Flood scenery. Like those gross looking doors on the Cortana level. or those pods that have the flood popcorn in them. that can respawn and generate flood.

Snap tool for precise angles and balancing.

An option to have an object float or not.

Set object weight. I want the oil drums to be 1 pound or 5000 pounds

object streaching Maybe my double wall is JUST too short. I want to add 3 feet to make it fit. or it could be used for shield doors. (make it look nicer

Objectives for infection mode.

Color pallet for objects. I want a bright red bridge and a bright blue bridge so I can mark red and blue base. BUT not limited to just red and blue.

Multiple teams for every game type. (Mostly for infection)

A.I.

"rounded" objects like a bridge that curves, but not at an angle. like this ---> ( or this ~

Letters So I can spell things on the wall. WITH a font selector. AND a color selector.

Ablility to select what weapons a team can and can't use.for ALL game types. (if some one becomes the juggernaut then they instantly have whatever weapons you assign them. Or for infection The humans can't pick up swords if you say so.)

"Fake" walls (like in Goldeneye 64, :P)

Latters .... for climbing

Man cannons that you can set to decide where the person will land. And how fast they will get there.

Weapons that you can spawn in the air. and have them float.

invisible walls.

Nature tool. for trees and shrubs. and rocks.

Arrows that I can put on the ground wall or ceiling to guide people towards something.

Kill boxes. Not just round ones. triangles too. and ones i can customize.

More effects.

Placeable Gun racks.

more light balls that I can change colors for.

Park and home scenery. I want a TV in my zombie haunted house. THAT PLAYS THINGS. or a sofa and a fridge

More construction scenery. LIke bulldozers or I-beams

Non-human controlled LAZERS! that just shoot a lazer every once in a while (That you can tell it when to shoot and what color.)

more destructable objects.

Troop hog.

Option to continue past forge limits.

i really do like some of these ideas, but the park and construction scenery and scenery editing tool seems a bit much, it isnt halo. the scenery editing toool would end up making forge (which works amazingly, best map editor out there) into a farcry 2 map editor, which for me was hard to use, unintuitive and unusuable for the average gamer. its to complex, bungie already did an amazing job on skyboxes, lets leave those alone and concentrate on items that allow more freedom of flow, i.e. doors and ladders.

I'm hoping for it to be structured more like a map creator/editor than an object editor. Like if I want to place a wall, I'd make a start point and move my cursor to the end point and have a wall at whatever length I needed instead of placing multiple walls and double walls. Same for ramps and other objects, I'd like to be able to set how tall or wide blocks and other geometry would be, kinda like what you're saying with stretching objects to certain sizes.
