With the end of the Beta, and seeing the forge items we’ll be able to use in our maps, we all want to wonder- what will they implement into the game that will make this version of forge better than any of the others?
Here’s some things I’d personally be happy to see in the new iteration of Forge.
Team Colored Monitors-
We’ve had the same, boring Blue Monitors since Halo 3.
Make them team colored! As silly as it is to say, it could, and possibly will help with Halo Machinima.
OR
How about no team colors at all? Why not allow us to play without teams? Or, better yet, allow us to play on teams, but don’t force any colors. Just put a waypoint over your buddy’s head. The only colors that would be forced would be on the MONITORS.
Weather effects-
We’ve been using the SFX functions in the past halo games for a very very long time now. Now, don’t necessarily get rid of that, but add a weather system! Why not have it so it snows, the sky gets all blurry and the textures get frosted over and covered in icicles?
Or if it rains, interiors stay dry, but if you venture out, everything gets gross, muddy and wet?
How about sandstorms? Or a flood-pocalypse? How about changing the time of day?
It would totally help set the mood for the map we’ve created.
Saved forge "sets"
Creating a perfectly symmetrical side of a forge map can be difficult for some people.
Being able to select a large amount of forge items and then duplicating them in one big chunk of a map would be a fantastic way to make maps symmetrical and easy to make.
These are just a few things that come to mind. What do you guys want to see in forge for Halo 5?
