I'm sad I'm not in the first two replies, so almost nobody will read it, but you do know guys M$ would not allow bungie to do such a thing, right?
I'm not even going to talk about how hard it'd be to make it, nor how complicated the controls would be. I'm just going to look at the biggest problem : M$
Halo is their money cow. they make ton of money out of halo. first, you buy the game. the every map packs or else you cant play online. then, bungie pro (you buy it with MICROSOFT POINTS). etc, you know what I mean.
by taking out their ability to sell map packs, they'd loose too much money. who'd play ranked and pay for maps when you can just create ANYTHING else, or even recreate the maps? just play customs with friends.
don't reply "but their's forge in halo 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". forge is NOT able to let you create a map. you can barely do anything even on sandbox. barely.
there will be forge in reach, but it won't ever ever be able to modify terrain.
I'm not against the idea of a real map editor though. just telling why it'll not happen.
