If you look at this and only see a wall of text read the second to last paragraph that will get you interested then read the rest.
Ok so we all know what forge world is and what it does, right? According to bungie there are endless possiblitys with forge, Wrong. Eventual every one gets board of "forging" a new map to play your new game type on or playing hoarse that new cool game you can do on forge. Maby you disagree with me and say "I have never gotten board of playing forge world." ok thats fine but when your friends come over there always one or two who say "lets play cod this is boring" well if bungie made this DLC that would never happen and forge might possibly pass matchmaking as the top played game mode.
What if bungie let us place computers into our forges. when i say computers i mean like the covenant and marines in the campaign. now i know what your thinking HOLY SHIZZ WHY DIDN'T BUNGIE DO THAT. well remember they had a time restraint on them for halo reach. They needed to get it done before there contract expired. well they can still make DLCs even though they already signed with activision so they could make this one.
Hers a possible way this could work. you already have a budget so when you put another cup into the game it would take away from your budget simple. There would be another slot on your forge panel with objects you can place. there would be a selection you could chose for there team color and affiliations so they didn't kill each other; or did if you wanted them to, and a place where you could choose from a few common weapons as you can with the warthog.(you could also put a weapon next to them and they would pick it up if you selected nearest as there weapon).
Now it would be boring just having marines fight covenant as usual through halo reach. even if you can make it to where it all grunts vs two or three Marines and elites or abonch of small teams all going against each other.
The flood would be the perfect race to add. there kind of smart so they can use the weapons you give them. or you can go to the forge placement box and choose out of a few common weapons like you can with a warthog.
Now imagine the battles you could make. covenant banishies flying at UNSC falcons. A few scorpions vs. a wave of flood. A army of grunts vs. a team of marine snipers and elites. Or a base defense against the flood were there are a few tours that you need to defend with bridges connecting them. the flood are at first held back by a few good sniper shots and you and your friends on the ground. But there starting to over run you. you retreat in side the nearest tower were there is a turret and a huge supplies of shotguns. but the flood come at you with plasma pistols and down your three marines left to defend the tower your in. you retreat to the top with a few marines you place along the stairs and some cleverly placed mines. you get to the top and you see two there towers have been breached. and your team of marines and elites has retreated to the last two towers. you grab the nearest sniper. headshots galore but then there flood makes it to the top of your tower with plasma rifles. you retreat to the last tower. (tis tower has three mounted machine guns. you hold them for thirteen more seconds but then oh no they have grenades its all over.
That battle is perfectly possible if you just set the spawn time for different weapons at a later and later time. tell me what you think and what ideas you come up wit and i might just add them to a update.
