I was about to offer an apology in case this has been discussed elsewhere, but then I remembered how many different “Sprint is the Spawn of Satan” threads we’ve had, so… yeah let’s just forget that.
Also, I am PAINFULLY aware of many of the bugs in Forge, but that’s not what I’d like to discuss in THIS thread.
Now, as 343 have repeatedly stated, Forge will be receiving updates regularly in Halo 5, which sounds awesome, because this could potentially (as far as my non existent programming knowledge can figure) allow them to add new pieces to the Forge. Assuming this is possible, what pieces would you like to see added?
My list right now is:
One-way shields
Landmines
Explosive Volumes
Proximity Detection added to scripting (On Player Enter, On Player Leave, Etc)
Gravity Hammer/ Golf Club
More Holograms
Wires
Something similar in function to Dominion turrets
I would also like a few more scripting options maybe an option for “On initial game start” because the intro is 13 seconds and the down time between rounds is 5 which throws off your timers and you currently need to do a really complex work around. Also proper timers in scripting or “delays” as an option so we don’t have to rely on dummy objects for timers which have their own problems. Suppressed weapons would also be nice because they change up the gameplay a lot and could act as toned down power weapons for realism game types. And as everyone requested hopefully a UNSC flying vehicle. Locusts and cobras from Halo wars would also be amazing but probably balance issues would become present
I know it sounds a bit ridiculous but I want AI, so that you can place AI on the map.

Couldn’t Agree more, can’t even tell how long i have wanted to place enemies on the map so I could totally destroy them with all my overpowered forge weapons. Also so if im bored, I don’t have to play campaign or warzone to kill prometheans and covenant. Also because it would just be WAY too much fun to set up battles between different AI.
Curvy props such as spheres/half spheres, teardrop shapes, rounded ramps and ramp corners/banks, etc. good for covenant stuff.
additionally, all in game props from campaign/other maps. There is a lot of good stuff in game already, lets use that before we start adding more.
edit: AI would make some interesting maps. One idea I had was a power weapon room guarded by hunters.
Could you update your post with items as they come in, like my forge bug thread, so we could constantly see a list of what is requested?
I request
-zone triggers
-unsc air vehicles
-more various curved pieces that could be used in covenant themed maps
-more interactive devices like EMPs, giant power cores, etc.
-more then 7 scripts for various objects
-immobile vehicles
-more animations like the prophet hologram
-more tech/blocks from the covenant and the forerunner races
-reqs in forge or at least the possible effects that come with special weapons
-custom signs or small letters to call it what you want to.
-AI turrets like those from dominion
-On player dead scripts
-custom voices
-pelican intro scene
-premade buildings/ability to save certain groups or welded objects to place in different maps
that’s all I can think of for now, but I’ll prob come up with more later.
It would seem that trait volumes are missing entirely, unless I haven’t been able to find them. That means I can’t create areas of the map with low gravity and such anymore.
I feel props of all types (but mainly covenant and forerunner) are very needed. I mean there’s a section called “hologram__s__”, with only one thing in it, the prophet hologram. Am I to assume 343I has more props planned?
They added the SPNKR to Forge. What about the Classic BR, or even some of the more unique requisition items? Similar to the point above, “Melee Weapons” also only contains the Sword at the moment.

yeah. unfortunately, Tom French the leader of the Forge team said that there wouldn’t be AI in Halo 5’s forge. He say’s there’s a high possibility for it to be in Halo 6 though, so you should try to get out ideas for what you want AI to be able to do. I already made a post with my ideas for AI a while back. Best to let them know now ahead of time instead of when H6 is being shipped
How about destructible objects?
Like the walls and floors that you can spartan charge ground pound through, the metal grate ones also.
I would like to see skins for the gravity hammer ( when it comes out) and energy sword. For example give the energy sword a katana skin or medieval sword skin, for the grav hammer how bout an axe?? AI would be great too, more holograms, BEING ABLE TO NOT HAVE PEOPLE STEAL YOUR MAPS… theres my list:)
