The Farcry 2 World Builder is a phenomenal tool for editing. With this being one of the first map modding software to make it to the 360, imagine what Halo 4 could be like with it. The possibilities are endless if you can manipulate the terrain.
Outside of the obvious better overall creativity factor, it can help a developer like 343 a lot. If the community is able to make new maps almost at will, the DLC option starts to close, which would let them work on the next game instead of maintaining one that is already out.
Hopefully 343 is already working on something similar. Most people don’t realize the difficulty when the terrain is locked.
I would cry because of all the ugliness on people’s fileshares…
And it won’t happen because then MS can’t make money off map packs.
Eh, I never really like the Far Cry editor. One of the best parts of Halo 3 Forge was just seeing what you could do with what you’ve been given.
Then again, it does seem like the next logical step in the evolution of Forge.
I loved that map editor, it made all sorts of fun happen.

They could still make money off of it. Instead of releasing map packs that we know of. They could releases DLCs for the editors.
-Environments.
-Objects.
Stuff like that.
Honestly, just being able to edit the terrain does it for me. Everything else is just a cherry on top.
That’s garbage! Halo is NOT about map editing. Let Far Cry never be compared to Halo!

Since you know what Halo is about, and what it’s not about. Can you tell us what Halo is, and what it’s not about then?
Also if “Halo is not about map editing.” Then why does it have Forge?
To be honest, I wouldn’t like that. one of the reasons I love forge is that it’s so simply, and you can easly pay attention to the little deatils like where weapons and things should go.
Fay Cry Tools is just to much, its good but not practical I would rather:
4 Forge Worlds: City:(Longshore) Snow:(Avalanche) Desert:(Sandtrap) Greens:(Vallaha)
Be able to Change the Time of Day/Weather
Pelicans and Elephants for Forge
Moveable Objects
Undo
This Would Fufil Most the forge communinity.
Far cry tools would allow user created maps to outdo built in maps. Maps that I used to play in far cry 2 were absolute masterpieces. I used to make maps in far cry 2, it used to take me roughly 4 to 5 hours but the end result was a no compromise beautiful map that I was proud of. There are many highly talented forgers out there, most of which are not even recognised, They would use these tools to make maps that some of us would only ever dream of. I know I would give it a go. A full map editor is the logical step forward for forge.
