File share and new forge

One thing i found bothersome with this update in regards to file share was the file browser which will only let you see files from those on your friends list or people you follow as stated below.

“At launch, Forge will support a basic implementation of File Browser, which will allow you to bookmark, play, and share maps and modes created by players on your active roster. This doesn’t require a “mutual” friendship, but only that you follow the player you want to grab a map from. From the player details page, you’ll be able to view a player’s files and their bookmarks. To grab a map or mode, simply bookmark the file, and it’ll be ready to play in custom games or open up in Forge. Similar to Forge itself, we’ll be making updates to expand File Browser functionality over future updates, based on your feedback. We can’t wait to see your creations, and I’m rather excited to sneak top community maps into some awesome social community playlists as soon as they let me.”

Why is it at launch halo reach had a working file browser for all players with filters and halo 5 which comes out 5 yrs later cannot do this. They have access to how halo reach file share was coded and created but are taking a step backwards into the same system of halo 3 file share. I don’t understand why… one of the best things about forge in halo was its ability to share and this update is a total let down as they had 2 extra months to work on it and still are not getting a fully working and functional forge with file share and browser.

Yeah I find it annoying that you have add the person before bookmarking. Also, there doesn’t seem to be a way outside of the game to save/bookmark maps.

it’s actually a step further back from Halo 3. Halo 3 Had B.net to search and download maps, and game-types. as far as i know this website doesn’t have that.

Current system is trash. I don’t want to friend the person for their map. Plus I don’t want to go through all the base 343 game modes in order to choose the bookmarked game mode.
