Hey, i'm wondering what everyone would like in the halo reach forge, what updates to what we have already got would you want?

Me personally would love to have trees and rocks to make it look like a proper map, and would also love curved walls and ramps, just like the snipe tower in guardian.

Anyway, can't wait to see what you guys put :P

I'd love for forge to be taken out, entirely, and just put in a full blown map editor, like farcry and farcry 2.

If you are here because you're trying to rank bash a captain who just outsmarted your ass, leave. You probably deserved it. I never go ape on a person unless they have it coming. -The snake

I personally would love to have all of the weapons and items be "universal", along with using an XYZ axis.

I love forge, its the only reason i still play halo 3. (its a little boring when you have every achievement;)
New feature in forge: Weather, organics, Time of day, Grid, grid snap, ghost button, detail objects, auto merge, all weapons, all vehicles, materials, Water!, boundaries, terrain editor, Living things (birds or bodies, "dummies") lighting effects, Destructible button, moving objects, trip activated objects, button activated objects, Background editor, and of course immovable objects.

Grid snap- ability to snap an object to precise angles an a grid.
Ghost button- turns the object in a no clip object, allowing it to be placed through terrain and float where ever you drop it
Detail objects- small objects such as back packs, ammo crates and camping stools ON EVERY MAP! also adding blood splatters and posters to your map
auto merge- ability to have objects smooth together and close all gaps between them.
Materials- a button to change the material of an object or structure EX: wood, metal, concrete
Boundaries- ability to set boundaries and make death barriers.
Terrain editor- ability to make hills, valleys, cliffs or just edit the existing terrain.
Lighting- ability to change the lighting EX: make every thing have lower contrast, or make every thing grayer.
living things- ability to add 1-10 birds or other creatures to your map, also to add dead bodies and living "dummies" which are people who just stand there.
Destructible button- press the button and your selected object becomes destructible, also a slider would appear allowing you to change the objects resistance.
Moving objects- things like high grounds doors, long shores bridge, and the doors from campaign that slide open when you walk up to them.
Background editor- allows you to add to the image used for the background. you can add smoke planes, fire, ships, clouds, buildings, mist, banshees, and other details to your background
Immovable Objects- ON EVERY MAP!
Water- ability to add water in low spots on your map ( which may be created using the terrain tool) and ability to make the water running. Also a "fall" button which makes to water act like a water fall. deep water would not be instant death, you would have to place a death barrier under the water.
Time of day- a slider that allows you to change time of day, there would also be preset one that change like 12:00 to 17:00 (5:00 for those who don't know 24 hour time ;) these preset ones would actually change over time while you play on the map
Interactive Objects- the ability to place things such as skulls, flags, and golf clubs on your map. these objects would look like the objective objects but just function as weapons or equipment.
Weapon Mod- the ability to add scopes, ammo, silencers and other attachments to the weapons you place on the map.
Health packs- ability to add health packs to your map and edit their respawn time.
Destroyed vehicles- Ability to add pre-destroyed vehicles such as, tanks, pelicans, and even scarabs. Also to add unusable vehicles that aren't destroyed such as pelican
Ammo- crate full of ammo that refill all your ammo
Guardians- ability to make guardians kill you how ever you want ( land mines, lasers, sniper rifle head shots)

EDIT: the ability to add animations to your back ground like covenant ships coming every 3 minutes and glassing things, or long sword fighters flying above and dropping off troops, and my personal favorite the ability to add odst drop pods that fly out of orbit. you could make some get shot down by artillery as well.
Vehicles- the ability to add civilian vehicles and civilian buildings to your map.
