Subject: Forge Ideas for Halo Reach

What are your forge ideas in Halo Reach, I would personally like to be able to put al-controlled enemies on maps, I would like to edit more than just the objects on the maps and I would like to have more objects to change around. What are your ideas?

I've said it before

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.


There's more but I have to think

Those are some great ideas I hope Bungie implements some of these ideas as they are well thought and really good

Yeah dude, Forge has so much potential, and so do the gamers. But without an infinate number (or super large) of options for customization some stuff just can't be made.

Oh I just thought of another one.

A pop up that says
"You are about to exceed the object limit (or budget or the other limit) This will cause the game to slow and may totally suck when you play with more people, Would you like to continue?"

basically i would like forge to be a lot like a mix between haloCE and garys mod there needs to be tools where you can add hinges and weld objects together plus switches that activate doors and turrets seriously though just make garrys mod for the 360 as a free download instead of forge.
