I think it would be cool if in Halo 4 you could edit the terrain on certain maps. Like say you get a map that is a pure flat grass land and you can place a lift point and change its size. Then when you connect it with the ground or a solid surface and lift it up the ground/solid rises with it creating a hill. Or lower it to make a pit/ditch.
Then allow for the placement of AI. Here is an example of the settings you would get when you go to change the settings on an elite spawn or place one.

-Agressiveness
-{}Offensive
-{}Defensive
-{}Wandering

-Combat ability
-{}Easy
-{}Normal
-{}Heroic
-{}Legendary

-Weapons
-Primary
-{}(List of weapons here)
-Secondary

-Grenades
-Frag
-{}1
-{}2
-{}3
-{}4
-{}None
-Plasma

-{}2
-{}3

-{}None

-{} Team player

-{} Lone wolf


You guys get the idea right?

These are a few things that can be easily be put into Halo 4's forge all that needs to be done is a few modifications of 343's DEV tools and then have the modified versions built into the forge program and then add trees as objects like in ridgeline(Almost died when I learned about placing trees on that map) and then some rocks and so on. A few minutes(or hours) later we have a new unique map to play on with a firefight or plain campaign feel to it.
Its easy fun and adds more options to gameplay which will attract more players to the Halo series.

P.S. It will also allow for us to make the map packs for 343 and earn them money while they don't do anything! Hey if we want another Halo game after Halo 4 then we might as well earn 343 money while they put their time into Halo 5!

Hope this gets added to Halo 4 and if not then hey I can at least say I tried! There is always a time to ask for this in Halo 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or Contact Harvest! Hey you also agree Contact Harvest would be a great Halo game!

You have no idea the amount of coding and programming that would need to be done.. In all honesty, I would take an undo button over any of that.

Actualy almost 75% of the coding and programing needed to do that is in firefight for reach! As you can change the enemies luck, eyesight, hearing, how good their aiming is, they could use the campaign difficulty and make it apply only to one enemy unit instead of all of them. The programing is pretty much done. How else could they make firefight! Using the same tools they use to make firefight maps just without the map making dev tools.
So in the end it would only take about an extra week to make the extra tools and a month to convert all the current dev tools from firefight into a format compatible with forge. So it should only take them 37 days to add AI placement in Halo 4's forge. Remember if something has a good part and a bad part don't get rid of the whole thing and start from scratch, keep the good and get rid of the bad. Then you can use the good with something else where it has a better outcome. recycle your programing!

Have A Nice Day!

yolo? -blam!- that! YOLTOSS!! You Only Live Twice or Some -blam!-

I think these options would be nice to have, but I honestly don't care if they include it. I don't do much in Forge.
