Forge has been gradually becoming less and less stable every time I make a new map. : List of Problems/Things to add :
1. If I try and mess with scripts the menus overlap each other sometimes when I go left and right on the timers.
2. Sometimes when I place an item and tell it to respawn instantly when I kill it it only respawns once and the 2nd time it takes a century to come back.
3. My game crashes or worse my Xbox crashes when I’m flying in cartographer mode (getting worse every day)
4. (More of a personal issue on PLAGIARISM) Forge changes the author of the map as long as they go into forge and save it themselves. I’ve seen my maps dozens of times without my name on it. It doesn’t bother me that people edit it and put their names on it but I’d at least like some credit. For instance a ==Original Cartographer== “TwitchTV_icJOSH”
5. (Something they should add) There is no Holographic item to represent items I’m scrolling over. Meaning I have to select the item and delete each one to see if it’s the right piece where as it would be easier to see a preview in my opinion.

I love Forging and I hope everyone can rally on these issues and get 343 to fix them. Leave comments!!!
Topics on forge and custom games need way more attention if not the most attention. 90% of the time custom games are more fun than matchmaking. Its the ONLY reason i play halo at all. I know im not alone on this

You definitely aren’t alone. I prefer customs to regular matchmaking. It’s the reason I love Halo so much. I’m trying to raise awareness but all the popular topics are just people ranting on how much they think this game sucks…
Yeah im hoping for January. Awareness really does need to go up. I can understand people are upset with matchmaking issues but whats a lot more upsetting is taking days if not weeks on a map, putting effort into it and someone stealing it. Or forge acting up and losing your progress i believe thats a much bigger reason to be upset. Lets just keep our fingers crossed and hope they decide to fix this.
Good ideas, particularly #4 and 5. It’s annoying that I don’t know what the object looks like until I have placed it.
I just started looking at it the other day and haven’t really forged since Halo 3, and I found that in Cartographer mode I would explode too often while on the border of the grid and it was annoying. Overall though, this Forge sure has some cool features.

this has been true for the entirety of halo. Customs provide the longevity and alternative to matchmaking fir many people.

Yeah some noob stole my map and tried to get it featured on YouTube, seriously not cool. Unbelievable that 343 thought that this was acceptable. Fortunately the YouTuber knows me and knew it was my map, but the point is this isn’t just a theoretical problem it’s a real issue.
Sorry to hear that TurbTastic. Kinda crazy the things people will do to get noticed on youtube like steal a map thats pretty low:/. 343 really needs to prioritize this, if the cartographers gift update was centered around forge why release it like this??
Some unmentioned issues:
-Sometimes you’ll load Forge on a map, and you’ll just be staring into space unable to move or do anything except exit the game. Is my map file corrupted or something?
-Sometimes you can load a Forge map, but it won’t appear in the map section of the menu, and the retrieving data message will never go away. You can save it, but you can’t save it under a different name.
Forge is amazing…when it works.

That’s a valid point,the Original author should have his credits on a map he worked some hours on.
@5 sounds very usefull,sometimes i lose spawnpoint’s(don’t ask me why)they get under the map,so i can only delete all spawns or keep searching it.Choose all from this type with holographic visuals trhoug walls and so on would be very usefully.
Good post mate =)

There are workarounds for both issues, but you need a hero in shining armor. First issue, have someone join and they’ll be able to place a respawn, then you’ll spawn in. Second issue, have someone load your map on their own and have them Save As, grab that file from them, and the problem is fixed at least temporarily.

No there are just no “Nuetral Spawns” or Regular Spawns on your map. I don’t believe TurbTastics workaround works because I tried it with no luck but maybe I’m wrong.

What workaround? The JIP trick to get the second person to spawn in works 90% of the time, and it may work if you get about 5 people to join.

The only issue I’ve been able to see on my end (remarkably, other than 4, I haven’t ran into these as much as I can tell) is that depending on the angle of the monitor, the rotations get a bit screwy. Like, in the way that the axises alternate in a way that forces me to switch between yaw and roll (and this alternates the desired direction of he control stick as well), other than that, I’ve had no truly gamebreaking issues, and no crashes.
