Halo: Reach revealed to us the amazing Forge 2.0 but it lacked one main aspect, Diversity. Forge World is awesome and I love it! We have plenty of opportunities and many areas to forge! It’s awesome but wheres the diversity? Ive been forging on Forge World for well over a year, and it has been fun, but it gets old. I remember Halo 3 when you could forge on all different kinds of maps: Foundry, sandbox, Avalanche, Sandtrap, Last Resort; I can name almost all of the maps in Halo 3 and it will bring you back to a custom map you’ve seen on it before. I can name almost all of the maps in Halo: Reach and you will only think of the same map, if I name Forge World you will think of many maps. Like I said before, Forge World was amazing but it lacked diversity, I’m a little tired of using the same old Forunner material; I miss using double boxes on foundry (UNSC) or sand blocks on Sandbox. If Halo 4 has plenty of forgeable maps to use, and different faction related materials like Covenant, Human, Forunner, and any other new species introduced, it would make Forge more diverse and more interesting. What are your thoughts?
One word. GREY. Get rid of it.
I completely agree, forge world seemed a little bland and dual but having another map like sandbox would be make the world go round. so yes bring back more maps for us to forge on.
I had this crazy theory if they made like forge planet and you have an entire world for your canvass
Just remove the gray and add more scenery stuff.
Your post reminds me of Forge World a little 
I agree with you.
I think Forge should have everything. Forge is a special thing that caters to a lot of people and a lot of people like it. The more that Forge has the more it will be able to cater. Better for all of us.
Might as well have a map editor that gives you access to all the resources, and then you could make practically anything.
Would be interesting in machinima too for artist to create their own sets to film in, instead of only being able to work around the pre-made maps.

Reach has some pretty bad drops in framerate sometimes. I think a map editor would be a terrible idea for Halo 4. However, when the next gen console comes out and the power it will have behind it, a map editor could definitely be something we might see.
i agree w/ your post, but a better forge won’t BRING BACK players!?!?!?!
As a matter of fact, if they improve forge and expect people to make there own maps I WILL BE PISSED!
they better make some awesome unique maps with things that we could never do in forge! just in general great maps
How exactly is this going to bring people back?
Two words: MAP EDITOR.
A better anything will increase the player count.
On the subject of Forge, we need variants. Something along the lines of having 5 maps: Forerunner, Covenant, UNSC, Jungle, Swamp: and for each one, multiple styles per object.
I really hope they have 2 discs like BF3 and other games. Its debatable what would be worthy of disc 1 vs disc 2 but separating the campaign and the multiplayer would do a lot to free up space to add more maps and maybe forge objects.
I think a few important things to add would be flat tracts of “land” that could be used as floors, walls, ceilings, etc that are “reversible”. These tracts would be the size of the Grid and one side would be sand or rocks and the other side would be grass and flowers. Other land grids could include Forerunner, Human, Covenant, flood, etc. It would solve a lot of problems without having to add 200+ forge pieces or worrying about changeable skins.

@Quote Poster:
Yes, and yes, and Even more…I hope they make it so you just by a touch of a button, by adding a picture, you can change the entire scenery to the picture…and Make it look in space, under water, inside a giant spartan, depending on the picture…I also hope that they make it so we can go forge underwater map, maybe add an equipment, call it oygen tank, to make it relistic if needed…
Definately Wanted: Forge your Own Campaign Mission…
@HWM Luv Gunn: Yes, & no: I personally agree with you, but then you can’t do multiplyer campaign online unless your on the campaign disk and maybe you wanted to do stuff on multiplayer, and then go directly to multiplayer…
So, id better if all on one disk, and with technology is, there will still be room left on the disk, its not accessible yet.
