people are most likely not going to approve this idea but hear me out.
i believe base maps are fun, but in my op they can get old relatively
quickly nowadays. i think it would be more beneficial to everyone to
make some really nice base maps but focus more so on bettering forge
in the ways of aesthetics. so instead of everything looking metal, forgers
can have a choice of how there maps look.
community game type idea--------------
along with forge, most maps (good or bad) never got to see the light
of day. maybe a handful of people got to see great maps, but if you didn’t
have someway of uploading it to youtube the map was basically non existent.
so i have come up with and idea,(not fully my own) to give forgers a motive
to keep forging.
-
allow for custom game lobby searches
-
allow people to vote on weather or not the map is good
-
any map that gets x amount of votes is placed into a community playlist for play test
-
that map gets downloaded by the community and anyone’s map who was lucky enough to
make it this far gets some sort of metal/ nameplate people can see in all in game lobbys
end topic-----------------------------
i know this will not happen in halo 4, but there are more halo games to come.
if you have any comments or concerns please express them.
and thank you for your time.
reach had it, halo 3 had it so i don’t see why halo 4 can’t have it, permanently though. i’m hoping the maps would rotate regularly. also perhaps a living dead community map playlist too because the base maps are terrible for infection and theres some good infection maps.
This may or may not work, e.g. more people wanting to play there map and not enough people just exploring other’s maps. So a lot of people with empty lobbies.
I would definitly like something like this so heres my idea:
I think there should be a matchmaking playlist just for peoples maps. It would be limited to the default gametypes however(e.g. so players don’t go into games not knowing what to do). It would have sort of a turn system: you play X many games in the playlist trying out other’s maps, and you can host your own lobbie with your map.
I would really like a way to play test my slayer maps, this is hard to do in most custom games with most people wanting to play funky things like cops and robbers.
I think that all the maps should have some forgeability with them, especially the bigger maps, not just a few decorations or shield doors like the rest of halo Reach’s maps.
So instead of a forge world (maybe we could still get one) Each map (big or small) would have some forge objects that could be placed (like doors or style-matching objects to make ledges or bridges).
i completely agree, i hate going into forge in different maps, and there are forge pieces in there but not in forge world.
