A few days ago I found the script for my old Halo: Reach Machinima. For fun I decided to read through it. At one point a location came up during the glassing of a colony. If you think back to Reach you’ll remember a DLC map called Highlands(?) which was a UNSC base during the event of a glassing. Cool right? Well this got me thinking…
Halo has been known for the Skyboxes. An arcing Ring extending all the way into the sky. New Mombassa skies at night during a Covenant invasion. Requiem’s ceiling. All these things added atmosphere, but were also beautiful art pieces themselves.
Reach’s Forge World was great, but it only had one Skybox. Halo 4 introduced three separate maps with their own themes. I propose the ability to choose your own skybox from a list in Halo 5 Forge. Storms, Night, Forerunner City, Human City, Covenant Theme, High Charity, Flood. The possibilities are endless, even downloadable as DLC.
