Have you ever been trying to make a map with a friend in Forge mode, and he keeps killing and shooting you when you sit still as the Monitor, placing objects? I have a fix for this. First off, when you switch to Monitor mode in Reach Forge, you may notice the icon of a Focus Rifle in the top right corner of the screen for a split second. Although this seems to just be a kind of placeholder for not having a weapon, it gives me an idea.
Guilty Spark can shoot a kind of Sentinel Beam at misbehaving players (and Johnson and one random marine) in the Campaign of Halo 3. I think that Forge mode would be a lot more fun if we could shoot a Sentinel Beam in Monitor mode. I feel like I don’t really need to explain why this would be cool. It’s just a little thing that I’m sure everyone would like. It’s canonical, too! Because Monitors can do that. And stuff.
Not to mention, Monitor battles. That is all. You could chase eachother around complex maps and have Monitor battles with the laser. Does that not sound fun?
That would be hilarious. I would literally do that all the time.
On a side note, I though this thread would be about a type of object one could place in forge, even though it’s not, I’m going to tell you anyway; An ODST drop pod would be a sick forge item, especially if you made an invasion gametype
The shouldn’t have scrapped the option to allow only the Party Leader to enter Forge mode. The shooting, however, can be solved by simply setting the Monitor to invincible.
I remember when my brother and I would Forge random stuff in Reach, but when he messed with my stuff or tried to kill me… I’d unload a pre-charged Spartan Laser into his face. Good fun.
