Hello, yesterday I decided to make a little easy and basic frge map just to get used to the Halo 4 forge. It was a FFA slayer map. I saved it just like in the previous halo games and went into custom games with it. The game loaded and the gravity hammer in the initial ordanance worked.
I had placed weapons on the map like you would place them in halo 3 or reach, no ordance drop - just simply sitting there waiting to be picked up. These weapons did not spawn, but armor abilities just lying there spawned.
I have looked through the custom games settings and there is no “weapons on map” function, while there is a “vehicles on map” function- so aboviously no solution here.
I have played around with the gametype labels none of them worked.
I have found 2 other threads where 4 peole also have this problem. Is anyone else experienceing this problem? Has anyone found a solution?
The reason i post this thread after 2 have already been made is that I feel that this problem affects the whole community, and 343 needs to see this. Forge, with only ordinance drops? Then what would th epurpose of even beeing able to spawn the weapons in forge be?

Christ, how many options did 343 actually leave out of customs? Halo 4 is a great game, no doubt, but this is just ridiculous.
Jesus, 343, what happened? How could you possibly ignore the CUSTOM GAMES community?
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it 343i!
If 343i personally doesn’t like a feature/option. . why remove it!?
Just leave it like it is. . AN OPTION! For those who want it, to be able to enable it. .
I almost want to get into video game programming just to fight against these backwards movements!
No reason to remove anything. . No excuse.
Yeah, this sucks. The same thing is happening to me.
Hello there.
I’m new to Forge, myself. I put together a small Slayer map, too, on Impact; and I’m having the same problem. What’s more is that not all of the armor abilities are appearing, either. Nearly all do, but there is one that does not always spawn - Promethean Vision.
The 6 vehicles I put it spawn, along with a man cannon and a teleporter (just to get out of the dig site); but alas, no weapons.
Any help would be appreciated!
After a little research, I found this video on YouTube:
Halo 4 Forge how to Spawn Weapons
The only problem with this (and it’s a big one) is that since it is ordnance, they show up as waypoints on the map & you can’t turn them off. (At least, I haven’t found out how to turn them off.)
Really, if there is anyone with an actual solution I would like to know it. This is starting to get frustrating - not being able to put in weapon re-/supplies (and not having an arrow pointing to it).
I haven’'t had this problem, but I suggest deleting and replacing the weapons.
Sometimes nudging objects unintentionally will cause them to glitch and either despawn or totally disappear.
This happens frequently with crates and pallets.
For some reason MLG seem to be able to get normal weapons on their maps. Not sure how though.
use initial ordinance instead of using the actual weapons. You can set the inital ordinance timer so they spawn just like h3 weapons and what not.
Search up ‘thesilencebrokn’ fileshare and download both game varients!
Just tried it and it works!!!
Halo 4 is a great game, but the customs community is getting screwed. First they take away basic Infection, which was the base of almost all customs in Reach, they don’t have any big maps for Forging on, they decreased the budget. It seems as though they only expect people to make standard 4v4 and Regicide maps. They’re forgetting the most fun part of Reach. Halo 4’s Matchmaking is great but I want my customs back.
