Realistic forge block and features idea post

Im making this post to see what forge blocks and features that us as the community would like to see that are realisticly possible to be added to halo 5s forge. I know i’m going to be hearing a lot of things that wont be possible for this forge like AI and etc… Some of the things i would like to see is a undo/redo added to this forge since i have had one to many blocks selected and then deleted so this is a must have now. I would also like to see true mirroring instead of flipping. Some blocks i would like to see are triangle windows, circluar windows, more cliff’s, and vegitation. I dont know how realistic this is but i would like to see req wepons and vehicles be added also. Please leave your comments on what you would like to see be added that could one day actually be added to forge hopefully will actually get to see some of our ideas in forge soon.

curved/spiral staircases, curved primitives (not just cylinders and rings, like curved 48x24x4 pieces etc
chairs, placeable water etc
undo/redo button, mirror group option, save group item to be placed in other maps (coming already)
volcanic themed canvas
more types of trees, palm trees, bushes, hedges etc, actual plants

edit: themed primitives, forerunner/unsc/covvy etc or a paint/colour option that is simply just “forerunner” for example that applies a seamless forerunner design to primitives)

actual rain and snow and a desert canvas, and forrunner/ covanant blocks

Easy Forge Mode, make controls for Forge from Reach to let people who don’t spend a lot of time on Forge spend time making silly things and not maps.

the controls are fairly simple tbh, just take 10 minutes to read them and place things down for a bit and its very second nature, everything you need to know is written ons screen, imo, peopel who claim this forge is too complicated or too hard to learn are lazy

an offline/ online switch mode

Grass, plants and trees. And more terrain options including those. Also weather options would be great for rain and snow, adding a thunderstorm would be sick for a map

i agree that if people would actually take the time and read the would see how much easier it is to forge with these controls i tried going back to h2a and even reach and felt like i went back to a commadore 64 computer all slow and clunky

i would like to see some of h2a’s scripting come to halo 5 along with some of its blocks along with round blocks of all sizes too

thinking about it id love to see more interior objects for decorating too, like, tables, desks, paintings, mirrors that actually reflect and all that kind of stuff

i would like to see 343i impliment a poll system so we could vote on whats to be added next too

  • Skulls on Props - Miscellaneous - UNSC / Covenant ship hologram on Props - Holograms - A rain effect on maps or something similar.

loving the constuctive ideas guys thanks hopefully we can keep this going and get some attention i’m loving halo 5s forge and can not wait to see what it will be like months even a year from now

I don’t really have much to add except I’d love to see a feature to dirty up the blocks and structures. Everything is too clean and neat for me and slightly ruins the feel of the maps. I feel like being able to show some wear and tear on the blocks would be really cool.

I’d like to see more covenant-related Palettes, for the maps that can benefit from such a offering.

In terms of vehicles, I’d love the Specter and a Human-Based Air vehicle. Other than that, I’m happy with what I’ve heard coming to the mode in future updates. Continuously adding the classic weaponry to the list of weapons also helps a lot. (Where’s that CE Magnum, 343?)

being able to have a paint feature would solve this so you can “paint” on overgrowth/scuff marks etc, kind of like the paint terrain tool on project spark lol

I would like to see a set of Cylinders that : instead of having a flat top and flat bottom,
have them with a beveled top., like if you took a cucumber and sliced it diagonally with a knife.

Also, I would love to see Cylinders that have chamferred edge around the top…so you could have a cylinder that is, say, 48’ around at the bottom, and 32’ at the top.

I imagine these would be SUPER EASY to create for 343, compared to other crazy ideas, and they would be incredibly useful for all kinds of applications.
