i've seen alot of post on the forums on what the new forge mode in reach should be like,(if there is going to be a forge mode) especially on what should be added. but there is already a program out there that can do all those suggestions. garrys mod. if one guy (i think) could make such an expansive sandbox game/mod dont you think that bungie should be able to do something simular to garrys mod please state your thoughts on this

it is mod based on the game half-life 2
with it you can take any source powerd game (that is the engine) and edit any aspect of it want to add a tank to the first level can be done, put a rocket engine on any vehicile the options are endless hampered only by your imagination. other people can make even more sets of objects and then you can download them for your own use

Video which showcases Garrys Mod 10 abilities

If Bungie would do it properly and make it comfortable to use,
the Yes

Better video, poor quality

Lets be realistic here, I doubt anything as complex as gmod 10 (with all the features) could be implemented into a 360 game. The engine itself must be done from the ground up to support that kind of stress.

Simply, the best thing we can hope for this time is a real map editor. Complete with terrain, time, item, advanced edition features, etc.

So far, only one game was able to do so on 360.

Read everything in this thread (still only two pages) and be enlightened!

here is a video showcasing the complexity (still only skimming the top of it) of the editor.

wow i am so forget full
but see i can see which direction you are going garrys mod is very complex but if bungie made it simpler perhaps take out the most complex parts. what i meaant with this is expanding the amount of choice one can make in forge the tread you showed coverd most of this but one of my fav things of g-mod (or what i saw of it) is being able to atatch any thing to anything e.g. a thruster onto a shopping cart onto an NPC also if forge is going to be simular to g-mod think off all the posibilities for machinima producers. i agree it is complex and it takes a while to learn how to use it but if bungie added tutorials or made it simpler it would the ultimate forge mode

and about it needing an engine built gorm the ground up to support it. it is a mod meaing it was based of an existing engine.

There is nothing wrong with Halo:Reach. We all just have our gripes about everything we don't like. Not liking something doesn't make it broken.

No thanks. Some things just wouldn't work on the XBOX.

...
The source engine was made from the ground up to be developable. Every physics and collisions scripts were built in and made expressibly to be modifiable and tweaked. Garry's Mod more or less just made the whole process user friendly and added a few scripts (that run over the originals) so that features could easily be used.
