Just a suggestion with a fun little title. What would your thoughts be if 343 added a DLC dedicated to Forge with a ton of forge and custom games features for Halo 4. This DLC can include anything like objects, options and even more features that you could think of if we didn’t have a stupid Forge World instead we get a Map Editor.
The day a game with custom maps able to played on for a console…online…made by an external map maker…by the consumer…ON THE XBOX, is they day pigs fly. Microsoft just wouldn’t allow this.
However, if at all possible without changing the core code integrity of the Halo engine, 343i really should edit the system to where you can download new tags to maps without having to redownload the entire map.
This way, along side each DLC map release, they can make a Forge DLC that has many new objects to use on all the maps.
I’d like an in-game and entirely possible map creator similar to that of Far Cry 2. It would go well with enhanced custom options and a custom games browser.
I posted this idea in my topic a few minutes ago but I will add it here. I want a free map pack for Forge that are just basically clones of sandbox with a few extra features. They would be completely blank. Each map would be built the same but have different climates and environments. Like grassy,ice, and desert. These are just some examples. We would have the pieces given to us in Halo 4 with maybe a few new stuff. Let’s say we are on a desert map. If I spawn an object I could go to options on the object and would be able to click an option called climate. I can change this between the map climates available. So, back to desert. If I build a base on the desert map and change there settings to ice, I now have a base with a a texture similar to the base in Halo 3 sidewinder, only I’m still in a desert map. This would be good for creative people, fun, and machinimas

I honestly disagree with this. I would rather just have one main map that allows me to change climates,weather,environment, terrain, etc but also be able to change object skins and textures because having all those maps just makes it cluttered and pointless. It is your opinion but I just feel it’s easier.

Garrys mod?
We need more than just another Forge world. And common really? Editing terrain? We both know thats not going to happen. try to work with something that’s realistic right now.

Give me one reason why terrain editing is not realistic.

This is Halo, in our latest installment of Halo we have gotten a major update of forge. In the Halo 4 Q&A thing back in 2011( can’t remember where it was) Frankie said they were adding things to forge but nothing major. Terrain editor is major. It is not realistic.

How is terrain editing “major”? It’s quite a simple concept, actually.

I think simply having the option would make people happy. Let alone more creative maps than forge could ever conceive.

I’m not talking for the amount of effort it would take. Look at the forge we have now. Your telling me if I could take a map like forge more and make the land flat, that would not be a major update to the Forge?

Really fool? Terrain editing has been done in (I’m sorry to have to bring this game up as it’s always brought up when comparing Forge and map editors) Farcry 2. That game is old and yet it can do so much more than what Forge is able to do. In REALITY, Halo 4 should have a ton of more features that is Farcry 2 x 3.

Apparently me saying realistic makes you think it can’t be done at all. I’m saying it won’t be done.

While personal attacks aren’t appropriate, I do agree with you on everything else.
