I know all of you are pissing your pants in anticipation at the arrival of Halo 4 in 2012, so i comprised a list of objects, gadgets, FX and numerous other awesome toys that we would like to use in Halo 4's Forge (If they include it, that is).






Door switches

We all know how awesome it would be to have control pad operated doors on our forts and houses, not to mention it would make a brilliant machinima tool.

Pelican/Phantom

I know all of you have been clamoring for a Pelican and/or Phantom ever since that Halo 2 mod allowed you to fly one and that Halo Reach easter egg. So, let's pray to whatever god, deity, idol you pray to that 343i will include a Pelican and a Phantom in halo 4.

A 250 limit on all objects

I put this in because i know most of you have some problems with the limit of objects your given. So i propose that we increase the set amount to a maximum of 250 per object. And if the game lags because of the massive overflow of objects, then that's a sign to delete some of the objects. Its not perfect, but you know what i mean.

Weather FX (e.g. Rain, Snow, Windy etc).

Now THIS is one that i think all of you will agree on. Weather effects such as Rain, Snow and Gusts of wind will add that extra layer of awesome to your maps, and will affect the way your map looks also. For instance. You put snow on, and over a short period, it will look like your very own white christmas. The water will freeze, allowing you to stand on it. Snow would gather on the trees, and then fall off when you shake the tree. Just think of the possibilities...

Different map layouts

This option allows you to change the outlook of your map in real-time. For example, you select Map Layout from your forge list, and you can select the overall style of your map.

You want it to be dry, dreary and sahara like, then you can do it. You want a Snow covered paradise, be our guest. You want a monsoon devastated map, with tree's blowing from side to side, and waves gathering on the shore, then have at it.

Player-Tagged Items

This Feature allows you to tag items that you've created, so that other players won't be able to delete them.

I will be updating this thread regularly with your ideas and ways to improve Forge.
