What forge features should be added next Halo

Community General Discussion

What do you want to see in the next installment in the Halo series (or just update Halo 4 if possible)

Here is what I would like to see that wouldn’t be that hard:
1)Turn dynamic lighting on and off
2)Bring back Monitor zoom and precision forging
3)Ammo crates
4)Fix SpecialFX (in reach they worked but in H4 they all look terrible)
5)Better forge maps (Forge World was great but Ravine is too small and that Forerunner structure is not easy to work with in my experience, Erosion has too many ledges and not enough flat land, and Impact has that space theme which is only good for enclosed maps and space stations)
6)more natural objects (more rocks to select from and add trees)
7)FFA forge (why use just teams? It’s not competitive)
8)Human aircraft vehicle (Hornet, Falcon, or something else)
9)Transport Hog and maybe Turretless Hog
10)Forge environments the size of Forge World or bigger with a different theme for each one (Forerunner, Space, Arctic, Desert, Earth(Forerunner like without Forerunner structures. Ex:Standoff), Erosion-like, etc…)

What would be nice to see but not expected:
11)Activated gadgets (doors and other things that can be activated/deactivated by switches like in High Ground)
12)Monitor Beam or monitors that can use weapons (who doesn’t want that)
13)Environment (weather and time of day)
14)A very large forge map could have a Pelican (a weaker version of course)
15)The option to select what can be used on each vehicle (which seats are usable(this would allow warthogs and other vehicles that are just ascetic for example))
16)Destroyed vehicles as scenery
17)change forge object themes (Forerunner, UNSC, Covenant, etc…)
18)Civilian vehicles
19)More scenery (Generators, antennas, lights that are ascetically pleasing, et…)
20)Doors that open and close when the player is near (like the Forerunner doors in CE and other Halos)

I’m sure there are more that I can’t think of off the top of my head

I think all of this would be awesome, I’ve put several (like triggers and such) on my Forge wishlists as well.

Also, some people wanted AI in Forge. Like you could spawn an Elite, set it to guard/patrol a certain area, attack something, defend something, etc.

Forced Spartan colors and the use of our own Spartan colors.

Normal and Fixed physics for vehicles.

I have more, i’m just a little tired and can’t remember them. I will update this later.

Group Objects: Select “Group Objects”, then use left trigger to highlight those objects you wish to group together. That way, you can Duplicate a group, allowing you to quickly replicate large portions of a map, especially useful for symmetrical designs.

Also, Terrain Editing.

Terrain editing. Far Cry 3’s map editor made the Halo 4 forge look absolutely pathetic.

Ten times the size, ten times the budget, natural elements like trees and grass with a drastically superior lighting system, weather controls, water, time controls, lighting elements, more weapons, more vehicles, AI enemies/allies/wildlife etc…

Just unbelievable how badly 343 sold us short on this one.
