I heard this in school this year. I forgot who said it but.
"Courage......Does not always roar".

I made up EPIC APPLE SAUCE!

Ok, we have walls and wall doubles but there are a few things i can think could make some cool map ideas.

Ok, lets how bout switches. Say there is a flamethrower in a window panel and somebody steps over or passes the sensor or switch. The flamethrower then would shoot and burn them.
Just like when the dumpster smashes you when you pick up a custom power up.

And maybe some water, rain, thunder. On outside maps like snowbound, sandbox, sandtrap etc, and on Halo: Reach outside maps. They can have some effects like it rains and thunders, and lightning. It would be cool on sanbox and santrap to have sand and sandstorm effects any sand maps could maybe have sand and sandstorms. Maybe some enemy covenant that can shoot at you just like in campaign but in forge and custom games.

There are so many ideas i won't be able to post them all.
Message me if you lke these ideas and maybe post your own ideas.

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.

Awsome ideas,I like the filter ideas.Maybe you could also add doors that you could lock and unlock,and automatic doors.Maybe even some useable and sizeable elevators in forge would be cool.

Elevators would be epic, and i have to say that actually was a really good idea. Maybe some objects that are actually traps like a block double trap. Like theres a section for traps. That would be cool. I actually thought maybe background objects like banshees and hornets fighting in mid air but in the background. I have so many cool ideas.

These are all my ideas from past forums:


1.Sunset,Snow,Cloudy,Rain,Night,Day,Morning,Outer Space,Green sky,and Purple sky filters;Each would be unlockable by collecting a skull.

2.A map creator that lets you use either the original forge map editor or a Start-From-Scratch map generator that lets you choose you map size and take screenshots as your map picture.Each has infinite items and infinite money and you can color items,and put down trees,grass,snow,water,and dirt as items.

3.All the maps from Halo 1,2,&3 including mappacks and a couple of sections of campaign levels(ex:Forest on sierra 117 or the bridge on metropolis or the pillar of autumn)

4.A new skull list:Assasin Skull -Unlocks Armor
Crystal Skull -Filter & Special Ability for Campaign or Myth Multiplayer:Telekinesis(pick up enemys,move em,throw em,or crush em)
Emrald Skull -Filter & Secial Ability for Campaign or Myth Multiplayer
Dragon Skull -Filter & Unlocks Weapon
Ruby Skull -Filter & Special Ability for Campaign or Myth Multiplayer
Saphire Skull -Filter & Special Ability for Campaign or Myth Multiplayer
FTBYNTE Skull -Unlocks new armor,cutscenes,a vehicle,and filter
(..........................and all the Halo 3 skulls would conclude the skull list)


5.New weapons: -A usable Kanana as the human counter weapon to the energy sword(changable sword stances)

-Spartan Gloves(A melee weapon,dual wieldable for each hand and wears out with 50 punches)

-Nitrogen Lazer as the Covenant Counter to Spartan Lazer(Can freeze
enemies for 6 seconds)

6.New gametype:Myth(One player is a myth.You can choose his actions(ex:When it kills someone it has a deep evil laugh,or he does a backflip action when he jumps).You can also customize his auora (Electrical,Fire,Darkness,or Light).His ability could be from a skull you collected and or he could infect people,or use the default abililys(active camo,sheilds,speed,gravity ect.)

7.New vehicles:Spectre(from halo 2)
Bubble Ball(blue bouncing bubble shield with turrent)
Clipper(A boat vehicle,looks like long blue crate with no top)
Weasel(A motorcycle,same color as mongoose,holds one man,does incredible slippery powerslides,and speed is at 500% and can only brake by powersliding.Powersliding too fast will cause you to fall off)
Jet
Drivable Peican and Phantom


8.Night vision in snipers again

9.Better death actions(ex.when rocket launcher is shot at and hits the chest,spartan will fly back or when you are sliced by an energy sword or a katana spartan will have a cut line where the sword sliced)

10.Sword combos and sword combo finishers like left diagonal,right diagonal and across( \ / --) you could also impale

Halo Reach should have huge online universe.
You would register with the UNSC,or Covenant.Then you get to choose your voice and name.You would start of as a marine and you would get real time missions.You would get taken to missions by a pelican (or phantom) and get other reach players as teammates.Every 5 missions you do you would get a medal and $20.Every 10 medals you get,you get eleveated to your next post(marine to odst to spartan) or (grunt to jackle to elite).After all posts are unlocked you get more medals to unlock armor and suits.Also once you are registered you can go to Free Play.If you press it, you will be droped off in the middle of the ocean with a new boat type vehicle.If you drive it you can go to metropolis or sierra 117 or any other place on earth.There would be like 7 islands you could go to.You can find others who went to free play and form a clan.If you go somewhere a mission is taking place at you could help but wouldnt get a medal or money unless you signed back in to the UNSC or Covenant.In free play there would be an island where you could buy land and forge yourself a base or house(you will only be able to forge on land you bought).If your in free play and kill another UNSC,you will go to UNSC prison.Every person you kill you get 5 minutes of jail time with cell mates.You could break out also for fun.With UNSC,you could fly to reach,halo,or the pillar of autumn.With reach or halo you could set up bases and do missions there.I the covenant captures you, the UNSC will be informed and that will be the next mission for other players;to rescue prisoners.Money is used for buying land weapons and vehicles like your own personal driveable pelican for you and your friends or colored mongooses.Someone could steal your vehicles and a waypoint would be placed over the vehicle so you could take it back.Some people would be assigned pelican drivers or prison guards or misson reporters.You would also be able to choose FPV or 3PV and the sky would adjust with the time of day. It would be really fun.Also you could play the multiplayer in custom games. It would be like halo 3 custom games but it would include all the maps ever made from halo 1,halo 2,halo 3,and all the map packs.Forge would let you customize day,night,snow,rain,sunset,cloudy,windy,purple sky,and green sky filters.It would also include infinite items from all the levels(like sandbox items on last resort).You could also delete everything on each level.And placing water on the map would be a new forge item.
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.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.

SO MANY IDEAS SO LITTLE TIME! We should actually alert Bungie and get them in on this. Maybe they would listen to us. Dude, i got ideas you got ideas and a lot of them. We need to tell bungie. And on the massive multiplayer idea. The islands would be on free play right? If they are you can create like retractable bridges and docks for USNC boats. Maybe a submarine type vehicle where you could travel underwater and explore the ocean. Many shipwrecks and cool fishes maybe an underwater skull that activates a giant Shark or Octopus for your maps that can eat you if you shoot at it. Buildings you can put that are empty and you can put items in those buildings. Objects maybe like USNC pelicans destroyed, in peices, or together.


Filters like mountains and hills, and a death pit where if you fall in you die and maybe if you step on the death pit it triggers spikes to kill you from random dicrections everytime( But you would have to set the directions)

I have this list of ideas that keeps growing...

-have object library composed of only 4 geometrical primitives (cube, triangular prism, cylinder, sphere) that are relatively low-polygon so we can place many of them, as well as height maps, water, death barriers, soft ceilings, gravity lifts, etc...
-ability to edit color, texture and opacity on an object.
-ability to resize objects (x,y, and z individually)
-ability to position the x,y,z coordinates of objects
-ability to change the roll, pitch and yaw of objects
-ability to edit the last three properties of objects using a keypad type thing
-ability to create bump maps/height maps (whatever they are called)
-ability to create water
-ability to turn physics on or off for anything so we can make our own crates, barriers, etc...
-ability to cut certain geometry out of other geometry
-ability to place 'death barriers' as mentioned by Zorinth, but they should be transparent like on every other map
-ability to place customizable gravity lifts with different effects and heights/diameters
-ability to give objects basic scripting capabilities so we can make buttons, drawbridges, giant rotating things, etc...
-ability to enable/disable the more advanced options so new users aren't overwhelmed by them
-give us a completely blank map to build on. No preexisting objects at all.
-limit our maps to numbers of polygons total, not by some predetermined value
-fix the 'glitch' that causes walls to be uneven to conserve file size. Videos can be 16 megabytes easily, so why is Bungie trying to keep map sizes so low?
-allow us to have more than 100 items of user-created content
-ability to group objects together
-ability to change the weather and atmosphere of the map
-ability to copy/paste objects or groups
-ability to place soft ceilings to keep people from leaving the map
-ability to create 'zones' that give certain teams different base player traits
-allow us to place the objective objects without changing gametype
-put in as many Halo Wars vehicles in forge as you can. They'll be like the Fuel Rod Gun and Incendiary grenades.
-allow us to alter the power and abilities of vehicles. Bungie did this on Avalanche with the Transport Hornet
-more specific spawn characteristics, ie: VIP, Juggernaut spawns, etc.

Yes, really

i like the switch idea. maybe not the traps but maybe you can have a door or gate that you need to open up to get a power weapon.

Just enjoy the damn game!
Who cares about BR vs AR

4th post has a mahoosive wall of text, and so I didn't bother to read it. Good ideas though in the OP.
