Most people don’t know this, but in Halo: Reach forge, if you hold the left trigger right as you turn into a monitor (this only works some times) you will shoot a focus rifle beam (you even see the focus rifle as your current weapon), but this happens just for a second. I have a screenshot of it in my fileshare. Anyway, why not make this a permanent “on/off” feature for Halo 4?
Think about it. Flying around as the monitor, building things. Then your dumb friend joins the game and starts shooting you and you’ll get pissed off 'cuz you’re just trying to make a damn map. Then you aim at him, and blast him with your beam, killing him in a mere second. That was a good thought. After thinking it, I evolved the idea.
Why not make monitors fully playable? And I’m not just talking about forge… Imagine playing as a monitor in a mode that is very much like juggernaught, except the juggernaught is a monitor! And why not have a mode where everybody is a monitor, shooting lazers at one another and flying away (obviously, you will not have shields and could not spawn anything in game).
This could bring MANY awesome gametypes such as “Monitor the Flag” where you have to pick the flag up with “A” and drop it in your flag zone. Wouldn’t that be awesome?!
Beyond that, since Halo 4 will have a bigger focus on forerunners (clearly), why not have a monitor Armory? There you can make up your own monitor name which will be a number followed by two words (i.e. 575 Adopted Kid) and then you get to choose some colors and body shapes… Wouldn’t that be AWESOME?!
What do you think?
I don’t like the idea of everyone playing as a monitor and having an armoury specially for the monitor. I like your first idea of having it in forge though.
I was just brainstorming, but some of these ideas might work.
that would be pretty cool but the armory idea wouldn’t be too good of an idea because it would take some memory off of the disk
A mode where everyone is a monitor would be funny. It would be a nice change of pace from typical slayer.
I would at least take what ever team your on, will be the color of the monitor. And give it a beam so if you were making a building or bridge, and you want it to look destroyed, you use the beam to cut off parts of the structure to make a hole.
And what about “shoot the monitor”?
Spartans vs monitors,monitors have to survive 2 minutes avoiding,and Spartans have Plasma launchers,i do this sometimes in forge,is fun!
BTW,Love the idea.
I like it. the monitor focus rifle beam, not the rest.

Wow. Thats a VERY GOOD IDEA. Wow.
I like the shooting the annoying people who interupt your forging, I hate it when I have to chase someone down and kill them till they leave.
I think that the monitor “eye” should change colors depending on your team.
The gameplay ideas I like. The armory should be restricted to monitor color. It would be easy for them to do.
