Forge needs to release with file share/ a customs browser + more than 1 template map

Chances are, if 343 industries drop forge Season 3, and for some reason there is no way for players to create, save, play, and share their maps and variants with the community then this will be the last straw for me and a lot of players still waiting for the dev’s to deliver on their increasingly empty promises.

  1. I don’t care if its just a community page on waypoint where you can download and browse created maps like they had in the old bungie.net days, but forge simply does not work as intended if there are no other fixes , features coming along with its update. There needs to a workable file share and map search at forge launch.

  2. Custom Games and saved variants still do not work properly. So how exactly are they going to incorporate a forge mode that’s worth anyone’s time if for 6 more months after its release they haven’t even created a space where you can search, or share maps.

  3. The forgers need more than just the single “Pacific Northwest” environment template to work with. This is seriously so simple and I have my doubts we are even going to be getting any others. Halo 5 had multiple environment choices for creators, anything less than an additional Desert, and Snow biome to work with is unacceptable.

Most of us are aware of the closed flights for forge that were handed out recently to a select portion of content creators on youtube, etc… 343 needs to open up the flights to any public forger willing to participate. There are a ton of competent creators out there that I am sure could help expedite this process, and help out in the bug fixing.

The current UI is so abysmal that it makes the experience tedious by default so I would hope we get some refinement to that to make browsing easier (I doubt we ever will, though)

if Forge launches without the tools we’ve been cozy with, it’ll hurt the experience

should Forge launch with custom games still broken, no CGB for community & no file share to show off your creations then you’re going to fracture & isolate the custom game community.
