I was wondering since Halo Reach how awsome could be if 343I get to make some DLC to Expand the Forgeing experience…
I understand that they have lots of weight on their shoulders now since a lot of people keep telling that Halo 4 was and epic fail and stuff and they are maybe running in circles like crazy thinking on what to do what to fix here what to improve there what to upgrade over there. And so I came again with this idea so I decided to share it with you people to see what you think of it and possibly to scatter it around and see if the big guys of the Industries get to read it someday. So without further ado, here’s what would make a cool forge expansion, I hope you guys like it.
1st - Multi-Themed Forge World Remake
At first I was thinking why dont they do lots of forge maps with multiple themes (Thing that 343 actually tried on Halo 4) so people can make maps with more cool and proper surroundings, but after seeing those Halo 4 Forge maps I was really dissapointed with their work as maybe many of the forge community of the forum could possibly be.
First of all, maps are really tiny compared to Forge World and there’s few places adecuate to build those cool maps you were dreaming to do. I was starting to really miss Forge World because it had multiple spaces adecuate for whatever you were planning to forge.
So I think that the first thing a Forge Expansion needs is a big and adecuate canvas, and what could possible be better than the well known Forge World?.. well I got the answer, what about a Forge World remake with switchable themes for it, you know, to have also a desert FW version, a snowy FW version, a craggy FW version, a volcanic FW version and possibly many more to always have the perfect enviroment for your maps.
2nd - Weather and some more FX:
Yeah, a lot of us had dreamed with something like this someday, If they have the time to make those Ink and Nova effects that almost anyone uses for their maps, why cant they take a little while to add some weather FX too, to summon rain on our epic battle maps, to bring down a blizzard to those hidden bunkers, to call a sandstorm to those desolated structures, to add mist to those mysterious buildings. Also an FX to change the time of day could really help many forgeists to create a real dawn, dusk and night feeling instead of letting players just to try to beleive it by changeing the screen color tones.
The possibilities could be infinite.
3rd - Multi-Themed Structure Objects:
It would be awsome to have multiple variants of the objects on the Structure Panel most importantly a Military/UNSC, Covenant and forerunner versions (perhaps also a neutral human version too) of them to give our maps a more tuned looking to what we are forgeing.
4th - More Nature Objects to choose:
Rocks are cool you know, because when everyone opens forge the first thing they think is “oh oh oh, a rock would look cool over there”… nah just kidding, seriously most of us would have liked to get more natural stuff to decorate our maps instead of just rocks, Im not telling to remove them, but it would be nice to get some more vegetation or at least some trees for those who want to have a forest on their maps.
5th - More Decorative Stuff:
Boxes, pallets and sandbags are good decorations but Im sure we can find more than just that in buildings, to have some more decorative stuff like computers, technological devices, screens, signs, thrash (yep thrash can be cool too at times :P), etc.
6th - Vehicles:
In forge the community is up to everything, including crazy stuff in wich the removal of certain vehicle can ruin all his map so it may be of help if they return some remakes of vehicles from previous games like the falcon, the spectre, the revenant, the chopper, etc. at least just for this forge maps for the community use.
7th? - More Auto-Turrets Maybe?..
I really loved the Dominion Turret idea of halo 4 so this is new, it would be great to have more kinds of this turrets to use on our maps, maybe covenant and forerunner styled too.
Personally as a Forgeist it would make me happy to see this happen but the question is, What about you?..
