Forge: My Wishlist!

Games Other Halo
1

Before you come in here actin’ a fool, I know the game has gone gold. This is simply a list of things I want to see in forge. As a forger there are many frustrating things when creating maps. Below are some suggestions.

Undo

Many times I have made a mistake like deleting an object that I would like to undo.

Even Lines

It would be nice to have every block, bridge, and platform be able to line up for easier placement. It would also alleviate the “bump” while running over multiple platforms.

Lighting objects

Would work especially if I want to use a dark lighting fx. (street lights, fire, etc.)

Weather affects

This is the top wish that most forgers have wanted since Halo 3.

Foliage/Scenery

The ability to add trees and bushes would give maps a more organic feel. The addition to water would also be great.

Textures

A lot of forgers create beautifully looking maps would be able to add that extra something to spice up the map even more.

Ambient Sound

Could be useful for Floodmode to add more suspense to the game. Eerie sounds of the wind blowing, howling, etc.

If you have any real suggestions please list them and I’ll add them to this list.

2

Corpses. If I say build a pelican wreck, I would like the ability to add dead soldiers.

I also want NPC’s, but that is the most far fetched item to add.

3

All the pieces I need to recreate classic maps.

4

I really hope I wake up tomorrow and check the Bulletin and all I can see is Forge news! :'D

5

i want tress, and bushes, and grass.

also undo would be cool.

also i want the target designator to be a forgeable weapon this time!

it would have been fun to blas the -Yoink- out of ppl with that in Reach,
but Bungie failed in that game.

6

I’d like to be able to place various hill, rock, tree, foliage, water, grass, etc. objects. Phasing options make them viable.

7

I just want some lighting, maybe night variants of maps where UNSC vehicle headlights actually mean something and the covenant vehicle trails look like tron against the darkness?

8

> The addition to water would also be great.

This would make me so happy. Being able to choose where I want water would create so many awesome maps. I would love to build a puzzle map that has the water flood into a room giving you a time limit to solve the room and after the water fills the room a kill barrier respawns to create a drowning effect. AHHH SO MANY POSSIBILITIES!

9

We should also be able to choose an environment for every map that is available.

Themes could be like Jungle, snow, desert, lava etc…

Imagine every Halo map in these themes! A desert Avalance! Snowy Guardian! Lava Sandtrap, Jungle Haven!

How about an actual map editor where we can alter the terrain and such?

Seeing how creative people are with the limited items they have with Forge makes me wonder what they could do with an actual map editor.

Isn’t that a map creator? Forge is basically a map editor already, you can edit the map.

PS: I really want a map creator in Halo 5, if not in that I definitely want it in Halo 6. It’s next gen so it should be possible.

Map editor, map creator you’re just arguing semantics now.

Well, we need to get our facts straight! ;D

The proper terminology is Map editor. No one calls it a “Map creator”.

Look at any game that has that feature, Farcry, Timesplitters, etc…

They are all labelled as “Map editor”.

Alrighty then.

I would also love to see triggers! Be able to open/shut doors, bridges, lifts, etc.
