What Would You Like to See Come to Forge?

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Halo 5’s forge is undoubtedly the best one yet and with new content being added every update, it only becomes better. With the recent Hammer Storm update we saw the debut of Pelican and Drop Pod props in forge, something that’s been requested for years. We also got the Grunt Toys from Riptide, something I requested Tom French add in, thanks Tom. So my question, good people of Waypoint, is what other items would you like to see come to forge? Choose five, five items be it props, weapons, vehicles, or more. (They can be very broad if needed i.e REQ Items)

  • UNSC Prowler prop - Covenant Sniper Tower prop - Sanghelios Ancient Elite Statues - More Holograms! (Truth’s Pillar of Autumn or Blue Team’s Argent Moon hologram as examples) - Phantom prop

I’ve been trying to make it nighttime on a map I’m making. Is there a way to do that? If not, I would like that added.

There should be a setting for night time in the skybox settings.

  1. Req Variants
    2.if we ever get infection maybe some infected environment pieces/effects
    Ill add more if i think of them
5

Definitely need REQ variants! The statues would be cool too! I’d also love to have AI, but I can understand the limitations of which, so maybe some corpses for Infection? I also would like some chain link fences or other stuff to make city maps

actual flyable pelican…

Everything you mentioned is exactly what I wanted prior to release, there as actually a lot of stuff shown off in The Sprint where they talked about Forge and showed off different pallets such as Covenant and Forerunner presets that I don’t think made it in sadly. But here’s my list, it might get a bit messy soo. Beware:

WEAPONS/ VEHICLES
-REQ Varients of Weapons/ Vehicles (Confirmed before launch not to be included, made me a bit disappointed.)
-UNSC Flying Vehicle. Hornet, Broadsword, Pelican, Falcoln. (Falcoln may return in Memories of Reach update.)

AETHETIC PIECES
-Elite statues/ Covenant themed blocks (Thought we were getting these at launch. 343 showed them on The Sprint/ blogposts but didn’t make it in apparently.)
-More Holograms (I really hoped we were going to get the Guardian hologram from Sunion. I NEEDED it for my Epitaph remake…) (Sunion Guardian Hologram, Enemy lines? Forerunner holograms, Governer Sloan Hologram.)
-Flood themed blocks
-Incubation tubes (alien/ flood)
-Plaza Maple tree
-Overgrowth plants/ building decorations.

PRESETS
-Warzone Armory and Home Base Preset buildings.
-Escape from ARC/ Sanghelios brown desert rocks.
-Raid on Apex 7 coastal rocks and palm trees. (Confirmed to be edible/ usable asset. Seen on Noctus.)
-March on Stormbreak Snow Rocks.
-Battle of Noctus/ Urban Elite/ Unicorn/ Helioskrill truck paint.
-Sunion Presets
-Covenant preset Campaign assets. (Sniper towers, crashed Phantom, crashed Banshee, Sunion AA Turrets, bridges/buildings/pillars ect.)
-Forerunner preset Campaign assets. (Foerunner buildings, Enemy Lines? Forerunner installation ring entrance, holograms, bridges/Buildings/pillars ect. not much Forerunner assets in Halo 5 Campaign sadly…)
-UNSC preset Campaign assets. (Meridian construction pieces, Meridian auto-turrets, anything from Argent moon.)

INTRACTABLES
-Any of the ground pound/ charge destructible pieces please.
-Destroyable cover
-Destroyable glass/walls. (Original idea for destroyable pieces shown in The Sprint.)

CANVAS
-More Skyboxes. (Night for all maps that makes sense, Cities/ Urban (May not be needed, you can glitch out of Empire/Eden)
-Sanghelios (Deserts/Sunion)
-Meridian (Mining area/ shattered glasslands.)
-Genesis (Alien Forest/The Breaking environment)
-Water planet/ Beta Gabriel (Fathom/ Riptide)

I’ve always been one to study environments in everything including games. Especially Halo, as an artist and animator I want to create awesome stuff, even with this new and powerful Forge tools I still find myself wanting more. But I’m happy with what Tom French and his team are doing and I hope some of these things come in the future.

Music blocks

Hexagon blocks
pyramid blocks
sphere blocks
Motion sensor objects
breakable wood pallets
longer facade windows
graffiti decals
more neon signs
city skybox

We need a canvas set on Sanghelios with the statues and a limited set of new structure pieces that look like Sandtrap/Sandbox buildings with textures instead of color options (Sandstone, overgrown ruin, Red Brick, Crystal, Onyx etc) so the pieces actually have some texture to them and aren’t blank and metallic. And obviously it’d be a desert canvas, which we don’t have yet (asteroid pieces with Gold/Warm effect is a half-measure really).

These tools would allow us to create developer looking maps, which is something even Halo 5 Forge can’t do atm. Also, add more props. Bodies, blood splatters, Crashed pelican, Phantom (with crashed variant), and some more detailed pieces in general. Facade buildings and structures would be amazing, for instance. We can make crazy things in this Forge, but it’s still very hard to make pretty things that aren’t obvious Forge maps.

Also, UNSC aircraft and a Forge World 2.0

11

5 items

  1. Script weapons
  2. Crashed versions of in game vehicles.
  3. Rainbows (to add in map editing)
  4. Wind affecting players
  5. Vehicle-vehicle welding (wraith-hog)
12

Lots and lots of props, Full proper welding. And the list keeps going.

13

undo option
mirror option
circular/spiral ramps/stairs
chairs/furniture
volcanic/wasteland canvas

themed primitives, unsc, covvy etc
pplaceable water/lava

14

Derive the pelícan in forge !!! … Please 343 , we want to drive pelícans ( with passanger)

15
  • preset structures like pieces from previous forge interactions. i.e, towers, bunkers. the works - terrain pieces like sand and trees such as tropical palms or winter pines/ spruce. - flyable pelicans that function as troop transports - falcons, if the pelican idea fall through, just add these in please! - elephants. By far the best DLC-map based vehicle with the franchise. if Bungie could do it on an old-gen console, 343i can surely step up to the plat for these next coming updates
16

Lots of good ideas, even if only like two or three of you actually posted five ideas.

17

Oh my god, the person above that said elephants is spot on. I love the elephant and it had so much potential to return as a vehicle in other maps and it never did, It was so much fun to stuff around on sandtrap because of that vehicle. It would possibly be too big for warzone but for forge it would be great!

18
  1. All the REQ variants of weapons and vehicles.
  2. More holograms (size variants too)
  3. More interactive objects (such as breakable platforms and such forth)
  4. Gravity volumes/zones.
    5.Trait volume/zones.

Those would make forge pretty much perfect for me.

EDIT:
6. UNSC Ariel vehicles. (Didn’t add this at first since apparently at least one has been confirmed for a future update. Likely ‘Memories of Reach’, fingers crossed for the campaign Falcon.)

  1. Similar to the ‘Metallic’ setting on each block, there needs to be an option for turning primitives into concrete or stone, much like the blocks seen in H2A.
  2. More foliage/trees. Especially since you can’t add grass blades to terrain sheets. Almost every bit of foliage in the level Infinity from Halo 4 needs to be in Forge.
  3. Undo button. I know it’s been said before, but it can never be stressed enough.
  4. More pre-built structures. It was nice to build things out of already well-constructed buildings in the buildings tab.
  5. Trait volumes

Yes, yes, yes. All of those.
