File Sharing Needs to be Re-Made

We need to bring it the developers’ attention that File Sharing is a must for Halo players. In order to do this, I ask for you to upvote this post so it has the greatest chance of being seen. How else are we going to have our favorite Custom Games? Build them ourselves?! That is probably too daunting a task for majority of the community, but there are some who enjoy using forge and will love to build these maps for us. We need file sharing so we can get these maps/game modes from them.

There is file sharing. Even though it is complicated a bit, it’s there. :slight_smile:

Then how do I get to a friend’s file share in game?!

Go to the roster and click your friends name and then their file share

they have to be online at the same time as you. That’s the stupid/-Yoink- part.

Not only that but it means you have to be somebody’s friend AND they have to be online just to access their fileshare. That is such a difficult process for trying to get your maps out there

Well atleast you can invite people that aren’t you’re friends to be able to play you’re games and get they can download them!

Hopefully 343 will give us a custom maps playlist at some point in the future. Some of my favorite maps are made by forgers.

#FileCare my attempt on remaking file share is spreading that #… I know its lame but I’m desperate!

It should be remastered

I miss the good old days of halo 3 where you could just go online to some forums dedicated to forging, browse the thousands of maps and gametypes, and download them directly from the website to the xbox with just the click of a button… I had 3600+ custom games (different gamertag) and the game never got old… The fileshare system needs to be redone and made easy for everyone to be able to create games and others actually able to play them.

They need to implement a file share system that is like a virtual store, so people can browse custom maps, game types, screenshots and videos. Add it to the halo channel or here, it just needs to be some where so we can play custom maps again !

File share should be expanded to have ten slots or more

I totally agree, we should be able to put a gamertag in and view their service record, file share, etc. within H.M.C.C.

this WAS … PERFECT :frowning:

So is there any way of finding categories like “most downloaded” or anything? Or even a form of search tool for maps and game types?
I myself can’t remember how to turn off/block the guardians in Halo 3’s Sandbox and I have next to no friends with Xbox ones so getting other players maps is barely an option for me.
On a slightly related note… Nothing says classic Halo 3 nostalgia to me quite like looking through all those great pictures taken in forge by other players, so a fileshare like that of Halo 3 or Reach wouldn’t just be a nice addition, its something 343 should have had in the launch game anyway… :’(

We need a File browser. That way we can download top/most downloaded forge maps that the community makes. So far Forge is useless without that

The halo 3 file share system and browser, was by far the best system we ever had. hope they can bring it back!
