I’m sure most of have thought at least once about if and how Firefight could work with Forge. I’ve got an idea. I’m not expecting 343i to look at this and be look “no ways, we never thought of this!”, but I reckons, despite some belief, that FF and Forge would be possible if done right.
How would it work, exactly? Basically you select your map and enter it. In Forgefight you won’t get rounds of enemies, nor will you be able to script enemy A.I. , considering you would need developer skills and kit to actually do that successfully.
What we would do though, is add all sorts of fun items on the map! I suppose in order not to mess up A.I. and scripted elements such as drop ships, there would be restricted forgeable areas where you can add stuff to the map. Think of all the fun-ness you could add:
- Ammo Banks, with limited or unlimited ammo.
- Weapon specific racks, with limited or unlimtied ammo.
- Vehicles, Gauss warthog on Unearthed anyone?
- Power ups for that classic Halo experience.
- AA’s, or whatever may be replacing them.
- Scenery + misc. items like exploding barrels.
I know it’s not massively revolutionary, but one of the defining feats of Halo is the depth to it’s custom games. While Reach offered a plethora of custom game options, a complimentary forge palette would add so much depth.
I feel like I’ve rambled more than enough now. So what are your thoughts? Would this work, could this be made any more awesome?
