One really cool feature I always dreamed of since Halo 5 was the option to truly customize the function and abilities of vehicles (either as a forge setup AND/OR custom settings options).
To clarify:
Halo 5 had a few cool features in forge related to vehicles not just with forge item settings.
- FOV slider/Camera Modes - this allowed you to have custom FOV for when you were in a vehicle and essentially made it possible to make your vehicle zoom out or feel like it was on first person.
It would be awesome if 1st person mode and “zoom” settings were available for this game. - Customizing Weapons - the ability to disable weapons on vehicles (specific ones not just overall), so I could have warthogs without being able to shoot the chain-gun for example or a Wasp having only rockets and no chain-gun. Or I could change the projectile (as the devs see fit for that weapon) to something like “plasma shots”, explosive rounds, etc. Even modifying damage values e.g. 110% more damage (shields, human and vehicle armor sliders, default being general).
- Custom HP/Shielding - allow us to make vehicles have custom HP/Armor/Shield values, being able to apply shields to a vehicle that normally doesn’t have them would be cool, increasing armor/hp to resist damage and damage immunities (like disabling damage to specific parts like tires as an example). And adding EMP immunity or disable effect (disable weapons, movement, ability, time).
- Customize Handling/Abilities - Increase speed, lower or raise weight, change “special ability” recharge e.g. ghost boost can last longer, be faster or whatever. Also adding new features to the vehicle e.g. allow active camo, that gives you the option to enable or disable it (imagine a ghost actually being SPOOKY). **And adding things like "not showing on the motion sensor while not moving or completely at all). Adding anti-lock on, and flairs to essentially disable rockets or such from being able to hit the vehicle on demand.
- Custom Spawning On Vehicles - imagine having a Razorback spawning with a weapon already attached to it, so you kinda get a “two for one” deal. Get razor back and now you have a shotgun for example (would be really awesome for team heavies to have a power-weapon on it to take). Allowing mount-weapons to be fired on the back of the razor back as you sit on it, e.g. the machine-gun or missile pod.
**EDIT 6. Player Effects - Player’s in PROXIMITY (vehicles can have special effects on them at effect at a range of them) or in the vehicle e.g. drivers, riders can have special effects happen to them, e.g. shields auto recharge, over-shield, immune to weapons, restore ammo (including recharging energy weapons) and so on.
What do you guys think?
