There is a spot where they show a snow mountain top being added to a map i assume.... Perhaps they just showed us forgeworld 2.0
I know it woldnt have that name but still...
It looked like you would need a mouse to navigate the menu system, so perhaps theres a pro side where you can use better tools than default editor in the new game. Heres hoping.
Also i get the feeling that there will be custom matchmaking... They talked about how they dont know where the community will take the game.
Here my speculation, open world game with other galaxies to explore. You can choose your order ( like odst) but then you can explore user created planets.... This is where it gets interesting... Imaging combining firefight with foregworld.... Whe you can script when and where and what the enemies are... You can script if then statements, likeif the capture the flag, now they must do this... In the map/ planet you have forged. Then you submit it, and as long as the gametype works with the map then it can be found by other people to check out....
I dont care if im a smurf fighting dinosaurs in bowsers castle... As long as its fun.
And if you arent the creative type, bungie will of course have thier own content and you can play that.
I dont think using the browser to edit a custom map is too much of a leap... Bungie.net can let you tag files, render files, ect. And if i have to pay 10 bucks extra to be a pro and use a mouse to edit my map... Well then awesomesauce.
