NOTE: Bungie, if you read this, id actually be ok with a mapmaker just like Far Cry 2's. I didnt know Far Cry's editor had just about everything I wrote,

Seriously, I really want an AWESOME map creator. I want Bungie to make one 3x as good as Far Cry 2's map maker. It would include a time of day changer, and you would be able to add weater effects, like lightning, snow, rain, fog, ect. Also there would be a sky colorer, so if you wanted a green sky, you could get one! You would be able to have a bar to these effects, so you could edit how hard it is (Blizard, Sandstrom, Fog amount). You could add water, snow, sand, grass, dirt, ect, and how light or dark each one is.

You would be able to place bots, and weather they stand still, walk around to certain spots, if they see you they attack (certain gametypes). You could have up to 50 bots on a map at a time.

Comments have suggested a Normal and Advaned mode, for regular forgers, and pro forgers.

There would also be a 3D Model Generator. Making bases would be cool. You choose textures, colors, ect. There would also be a way to make things, like openable bases. You choose how and where the gate goes, the switch, and what the switch says. You could make HUGE things.

The biggest you could make maps be is about 6x the size of sandtrap. You could make stuff like elevators,energy bridges, ladders, working pirate ships (set areas to go to, not drivable), maybe even a sculpture of a giant spartan. Possibilities would be endless (NOTE: When you make your map, you can still forge to add scenery).

From making a futuristic city, to making a GIANT roman colusium, to making a house you would see today, but with everything bigger than you (Toy Story). If Bungie could do that, id buy Reach on the spot!

With this you get to make YOUR own map. Bungie could still make theirs, they would just be able to do more stuff with it, or sumthin.

This way people wouldn't have to keep modding maps, and getting banned from XBL, or PSN. They could make whatever their hearts desire (someone could still look over it to make sure they're appropriate).

Maybe Bungie doesn't need to make more maps. New engiene. They could make more Armor, Firefight maps (if its in reach), if there's a bonus mode, they could make campaign levels or remakes (like Pillar of Autumn, or Metropolis). This is their last Halo game. They won't be feeding us any more Halo maps soon, so they should make it so we could still have new maps ,years after they've stopped makeing them. Thoughts?

NOTE: This map maker wold be as easy to use as Far Crys is. It just has more options.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Dont forget:
Forge lets you alter maps.
This lets you create maps.

Yeah, first, Far Cry 2's map editor allows you to customize almost everything, it is one of the best map editors I have used.

Also, any map editor more complex than Far Cry 2's would be confusing to use. Forge is good, experienced forgers can create awesome maps, casual forgers can make maps easily.

My name is from Star Wars. Now you know.

Feel free to follow me on my twitter and stalk me.

Doing something like that on a console is possible, but it would be extremely convoluted and difficult to use if you're wanting this much.

I was about to say that!

Easy: Like Halo 3 forge

Normal: A little more advanced weather affects and color

Hard: All of the fetures in forge!

Something like that.

Wherever you roam

life threatening and terrible

Who wouldn't want that good a map creator? The question is: Will Bungie see any benefits from devoting such huge effort into a secondary feature or will they keep their focus on the game itself?

  • 10.20.2009 7:34 PM PDT

We all want it, the question is how hard is it to make?

i have been thinking the exact smae thing. FarCry 2's map editor is amazing, anyone who hasnt played around with it needs to if they also like forge.

Could they leave it open enough to make a computer program you could make maps with?

This is what I was thinking.

Overall, Halo needs a solid mapmaker. Forge doesn't count. It's a level editor, where you roughly move about clunky blocks in order to make a simple structure. A map creator should be in Halo: Reach, and it should be as good as Far Cry 2's. Better? Well, that might be a stretch.

How would more options make it complicated?

Hey

GOD Do you people who ask for this not get it? The forge right now is completely amazing, but it's just that most of you don't get how to use it because it's "Too Hard", unlike in Far Cry 2 everything can be done incredibly easily. No I don't want this I want the same forge with better items. The only way Halo 3 has made soo much money is by releasing many map packs, if we can edit terrain and such then there'd be no reason for map packs because nobody would need them, they could just make them there-selves. Far Cry's map editor is not going to help Halo 3, we need the same old forge with just new maps and items to forge on.

That's the problem. Im a good forger myself, and dont think it's too hard, but even forge can only take you so far. If you put barriers, walls, and lifts in snowbound, it would still be snowbound. Even sandbox and foundry. The ground, ceiling, walls, sand, dirt, the base of the level is still the same. So even if you forge around and compleatly rearange sandbox, its still sandbox.

With this you get to make YOUR own map. Bungie could still make theirs, they would just be able to do more stuff with it, like placing bots, or sumthin.

This way people wouldn't have to keep modding maps, and getting banned from XBL, or PSN. They could make whatever their hearts desire.

Maybe Bungie doesn't need to make more maps. New engiene. They could make more Armor, Firefight maps (if its in reach), if there's a bonus mode, they could make campaign levels or remakes (like Pillar of Autumn, or Metropolis). This is their last Halo game. They won't be feeding us any more Halo maps any more, so they should make it so we could still have new maps ,years after they've stopped makeing them.

Somthing similar, but with more options, and easier to use.
