Rule 34.

would'nt it be a great idea to have a map editor for Reach on the PC?

it would be much easier to make maps with a mouse & keyboard than a controller imo.


Post feedback & ideas.

No matter how many times I forget about this place, I always get dragged back.

I'm more than okay with that.

I for one would enjoy this.

I would say yes, but only if you're talking about a map editor (creating your own maps) and not forge. forge should stay the same, though with some enhancements. but a standalone mapmaker can be cool. creating a map from the scratch. oh that would be so awesome!!!!

Decide what environment, daytime and weathertype you use. than make mountains, lakes, rivers, forests or fields with hills. Than put in buildings, roads and other human/covenant/forerunner technology!!!!

The Map, which is still canvas will be ported to your console on which you further create it with forge!!

o GOD YES.

i have used tons of game editors. Forge is one of the best and worst. The fact you can map for halo 3 is just awesome, but when forge first was being used. trufully. it was pointless. you rearanged items on the map, whooptie doo. editor was dead early on. but now with sandbox out! its a forge editors dream come true.

Placing an object upright in forge can be easy as pie, or more frustrating than anything. I need to rortate with a certan stick a certain way and place it so somehting doesnt roll off, and if i want to placethings perfectly together, then i have to glitch and then peices go flying and end up where i dont want them, then i delete something id dint want to and i have to remake a whole tower. In CREDIBLY frustrating. I absolutuly hate forge for being so damn difficult to do simple things.

SDK's on computers are just godsend compared to editors in games. + you can do anything you want. you are not limited by the gameplay area, becasue you have to make it all from scratch which is what mapping is rockalicious for.

We NEED an editor on pc. the way to get it i would suggest would be to sign into you live account, then if u have played halo 3, you cn get the editor for free. The frge editor on computer should give terrian editing, day/night editing, more color corrections, the use of brushes, and much more in depth customization techniques.

If forge goes on comp, I will be one of the happiest men alive. or dead.

Yes. We need one of these. 100%

Making maps adds a lot of replay to a game.

EDIT:
Dude above me is a genius as well.
