One thing that’s always kind of bothered me about forge is having to go to outside websites for maps, advice or to share forge related content.
When will forge get its own forum to discuss and share maps? I’d love to be able to get on halo waypoint, see forge maps and download them straight from the site along side the game.
Usually the online shareable maps from file shares are limited with info and don’t allow for responses/feedback.
Would you like to see forge more of a focus on halo waypoint?
If 343 ever decides to do something useful with their piece of junk Waypoint mobile app, I think having a Forge map list with search, download, and comment functions, would be a fantastic addition. Doubt they’ll do it though. They can’t even get stat trackers and the shop preview to work. At the moment, the Waypoint app is only useful for checking the daily shop, albeit incorrect previews. There’s so much potential to make a useful companion app.
If not, we will always have sites like Forge Hub https://www.forgehub.com/
Hopefully they will have some sort of forum set up here.
Can’t wait to get my hands on Forge - and see what wonders can be created (by other, more talented people).
I’ve been doodling with scripting possibilities and can’t wait to chat about them with similarly keen fans. Like a handicap game where, for each kill, you score the opponents K/D (multiplied by 10).
So if you kill a player with a 2.1 K/D, you gain 21 points, but if you kill a player with a -1.6 K/D, you lose 16 points? Absolute chaos. Players doing badly are essentially point draining traps. A team would have to stay winning, but not too much, or else they lose points for killing the players they are wrecking.
You could only get a negative K/D by committing suicide. Easily fixed by making the penalty 0 points.
No should be fun. The good players, eg. 2.1 K/D are worth 21 points… but the bad players, 0.3 K/D are only worth 3 points.
The idea is to encourage the good players to seek each other out as opposed to gorging on the low hanging fruit.
Plus we would have some sort of bonus on spawning;
K/D less than 1 get a better weapon.
K/D less that 0.7 get an OS.
K/D less that 0.3 get camo.
You could step it up and make it so anyone with a K/D over 1.5 can’t do certain things (pick up power weapons / equipment etc).
Our group has a wide range of skills and we just want to be able to play custom games on a more even footing. The good players still win of course… but the idea is for the lesser ones to not get wrecked.
