343i, I’d love it if you’d let me take a picture of my Forge map and set it as the preview image.
Anyone agree?
I would want this. It’s always good to show off Forge and feed that community.
My reaction to said picture could be of utter joy if Forge World doesn’t return and we get more unique, smaller maps to Forge in that have their own Forge Palettes.
The grey, Forge World (if it returns) will not put stress on the game itself and limit disk space, it’s going to hurt to streams as it’s quite boring to watch grey maps. A bored audience is an audience that doesn’t stick around and Halo right now, isn’t pulling big stream numbers (though grey maps isn’t the only factor that contributes to the decline).
By all means though, improve upon the already cool stuff Bungie implemented for Forge in Reach and expand upon it. Bring back phasing, coordinate adjusting, fine tuning etc. That i am all for.
Though if we can get to toggle fine tuning that we be so much better than holding down the stick. It’s quite uncomfortable for me 
My guess is that it will just be a blank, gridded canvas as the MP areas ARE a holodeck. Ergo, easy implementation of pallet swapping, and maybe if you’re lucky, even some terrain sculpting.
I would like forge back as long as you can change thr grey metal into different textures such as covenant(purpley) UNSC(green) Promethian(black and orange??)
Grass,
rock,
sand,
snow
And any other colour
These opinions could be put in the ‘object colour’ menu on an item.
People would abuse it and draw p3nises or something.
That would be amazing and really help when your looking for a specific map or just want your map to stand out. It’d be really interesting if you can tinker with some effects like lighting or whatnot for the pic but I digress.
agreed, it would help with organizing and for getting interest in the map.
I also want like 4, smaller forgworlds. Such as regular, city, jungle, desert, snow, lava, etc.
Even the biggest of maps used only like 3/4ths of forge world. And the Spire rock thing was almost never used well. And those big maps were still too big even with 16 people.

The size and scope of Forge World (while certinaley ambitious) is it’s own worst enemy.
When you load a custom Forge Map in Reach, it loads the entire map and not just that little arena you are fighting in. What’s the point of all that space if it’s not being utilized?
343 can certainly do more with less. Take the original idea of Forge World, which was actually four or five smaller maps.
Alright, so my original post didn’t seem to post.
The way I want forge is to give us the engine to literally make new maps, not modify the base map. Unfortunately I know most of us probably don’t know how to make a map from literal scratch, but something along the same lines as this would put me in love. Hell, I’d like to see this even if we need a separate Forge disc.
Which I’d just like to mention this for a moment. I’d like to see three discs. One for the mega campaign of epic proportions, one for multiplayer, and one for Forge. All jam pack full of whatever they’re meant for.
Why not just a map editor on a separate disc? I’d pay for that.

I agree with this idea 100% however i can see an immediate problem with individuals who like being idiots, who would love to exploit the feature to make the default picture something inappropriate, if there was a reporting system for it, and it couldn’t be changed once you created it, i wouldn’t mind it.
I agree, it would give people playing a better Idea of what kind of map they were going to play.
That would be great.
I always found it annoying to look for a map when I couldn’t remember the name. A preview image would solve that problem.

And make Explicit images with our favorite and most cherished childhood anime/cartoon characters having S3X…
Spongebob and Patrick Butt-Yoinking-!
…Kill me now…
I have always wanted that 
> Why not just a map editor on a separate disc? I’d pay for that.
agreed although not lickly, 343 needs to pull elements from other great map editors like far crys and trials evolutions (no matter how annoying it is) but forge has gotten better each time and im super excited to see what they do with it
Oh my god so much yes… If we can select our load out image, why couldn’t we do this?
I’ve wanted this since Halo 3.
they should also make some sort of ranking system so we dont have to guess whether the maps were downloading are actually completed or not
This would be a great feature to have.
