Forge 3.0 In Space!

THIS IS A MUST!!! FOR ME!!! a forge world in space!!! yes space as in where stars and suns and planets exist, this is possible!!! its so we the community can build and play on epic space maps, i mean we are definitely lacking this, have you seen the amount of maps that people have made with spaceships and space stations on them, it doesn’t feel right, they look cool, but it actually needs to be in space to make them feel right.

~~~ FORGE IN SPACE ~~~

First of all we have a massive area to forge in, actually it doesn’t need to be massive, just big**,** anyway it will look and feel like the halo 3 sky arena on sandbox, a grid in the center that will be removable, this is to help people to make things straight if they wish as space is a 3 dimensional area. the surroundings will be like a sky box but all over and it will consist of stars, nebular’s, suns, planets in the background, and most important HALO! it is a halo game, the stuff that you can use would be all the blocks from the current forge-world, but you will be able to put skins on them such as Covenant and Human/U.N.S.C, so that you can make cool looking ships and space stations.

you can pretty much build anything in here! with the water block idea people have been thinking of, you can convert a space in this area into a underwater base! think off the possibilities!

oh and this map can have new vehicles in it like the space banshee, and pelican. not that bothered about these but saber, the covenant seraph, or the UNSC longsword/short-sword would be cool.

also they will be a gravity block, similar to the kill block, you can make it as big as you want/wide.hight, this will effect the walk speed and jump hight, giving the feeling of being in space, howto use it? well you can put it out of doorways that lead outside, this will make it so it feels like an artificial gravity is inside and its space outside.

so what do you think? pot and add comments pls

havent you already made this thread before?

space forge world would be cool but i am still sticking to an underwater forge world, including fishies

How about scrap the concept of Forge, and request 343i develop a sophisticated map editor instead?

Best idea i have heard all year…

If we can’t get a space area as your describing it, im up for a 3 level map like Halo 3’s sandbox. All forgeable, lots of material, epic maps to come.

While I would personally like a sophisticated editor, part of the attraction that Halo has is that it’s simple to pick up and play, that goes for forge too. They need to find the right balance of ease of use and sophistication. Too sophisticated and it will become to difficult for some people to even learn to use, too simple and the rest of us will loose interest.

OT: I like the idea of being able to Forge in space.

thanks for liking my idea, also agree with you, i mean i have seen a lot of people that have difficulties with forge right now, yeah tell me about it, how??? i am making a map and ask some to lend a hand, come back in like half an hour to find everything is out of place, they don’t know how to use the positioning tool, if we make it harder that means people like that, which there is a lot, will not be able to forge altogether

i want a pro editing system/forge where i can do a lot more than i can do now, but to make sure everyone has fun i would prefer to wait and allow them to make it has simple as possible .

anyway back to my thread pls, what do u guys think of my idea?

i see no future for it…

> i see no future for it…

why :{ its soooo good tho :slight_smile:

oooooh i want, me want, let me have, a nice space map for space stuff :slight_smile:

you know the major problem with this idea is it would greatly reduce the amount of content available right.
because right now a forge map is just a list of objects and their coordinates, that is essentailly all that is in a map variants data, which is why files download almost instantly.

by having a map editor…
each map would have to be already downloaded by everyone in the lobby for the game to start.
and because the files would be more then just a list objects with coordinates…a lot more. each file would be about anywhere from 1mb up to and beyond 70mb, depending on the quality of detail and size of the map

the beauty of forge is that it is easy to download, share, and play several maps without any hesitation. but when it comes to taking 4…10…even 20 minutes to download a custom map just to look at it. it greatly decreases the appeal of halo reach custom content and game lobbies. not to mention it would totally change the availabilty of fileshares and 343 industries ability to suddenly manage the same amount of files suddenly 100x larger then before.

So… Forge? :smiley:

every comment in this thread has nothing to do with what the guy was even talking about, so anyone want a space forge world

How about 343i creates multiple “Forge Worlds”, each of which suits a certain environment. One for water, one for space, one for sky and so on. I agree that 343i needs an underwater map, but why not create multiple “Forge Worlds” so everyone can be happy and stop complaining about “How much I want a lake on my friggin map!” 343 is smart so let us see what they can surprise us with…
