Forge is more like an object editor on most maps in Halo 3. The only 2 that are exceptions are Sandbox and Foundry. The only problem is that these maps have the most boring enviorments and are quite bland.

I suggest that for Halo Reach there should be a number of special Forge only maps that are completely blank canvases and they can each be on different environments.

There can be...

Island
Jungle
War Zone
Grassy Plains
Water
Cave

These are just examples and there can be more, but the main idea is that each map has its own environment and is empty of all structures (for example, High ground has all those structures and buildings, a blank map would have just the ground and environment.)

I agree with the object editor part., forge isn't really a map maker, but some maps are hard to forge on unless your making a slayer map.

I'd like to see a skybubble map with an inplace floor. Some of the larger more ambitious ideas of mine won't fit on the main floor (casue of the sand) or are too big for the crypt.

And the lack of a solid floor in the skybubble uses up objects I could be using elsewhere. (Just thought of a plateau map. Something like this but with more flatness and such. and maybe the ability to toggle the floor and a tall bordering wall.)

Yeah, the sky bubble is sort of inefficient.

What would be a water map?

I would say a big area of water with some rocks sticking out of the water, the actual area you play on would just be a shallow area in between some of the rocks, something like that.

Or maybe a lake that you could go underwater and see clearly, OR a half sunken large covenant/UNSC frigate.

Yeah, there could be something like that too, maybe on the other 2 levels I edited into that post also.

maybe instead of having different canvasses, they could have a "theme" option, you choose a theme and it changes all of the forged things and environment to that theme. This would only work on a Sandbox type map where everything can be forged. This would also change vehicle skins like on Avalanche and possibly the weapon skins (winter camo sniper anyone?)

That's a great Idea. I'm a bit sick of the same old sandy blocks on sandbox and would like to see some foundry or other objects too.

Well thats the same thing pretty much, they are still different maps with different environments, the only difference is that you suggesting to have an option to keep all the canvas maps in one slot rather than separate slots in the forge menu.

Also this doesn't mean there can not be terrain and stuff, just means that there should be no structures. I'm all for some terrain on some of these maps.

Check out my deviantART page

Some things I like:
Video Games
Anime
Art

Yeah this would be a cool idea! Some other environments could be a snowy valley and an underground cave.
