OK this has pissed in my Cheerios since forge came out, why the -yoink- can’t we spawn upgraded versions of weapons and vehicles? I would love to have the Didacts signet as a power weapon on a map not to mention I’ve been itching to build a swords of sanghillios VS covenant remnant map as well as a oni facility ascetic piece but no. This makes no sense to me they have them in warzone, and campaign but not forge? WTF. They could easily put them in the menu as a drop down from the standard version so why not? It would even help them sell req packs, for example I’ve only baught one req pack with cash you know why? Why the -yoink- would I wast my money on a pack of random gun that at least 75% of I have no ideal what they are or what they do yes the gun card has some details but not enough for example Razor’s edge the tier 3 suppressor says “Advanced Suppressor fireing fast-moving metastable energy shards. If multiple shards strike a target they will create a " supercombine” explosion" OK cool. How fast is the rate of fire? How many shards is “multiple” 3,7,9,? Is the projectiles fast moving or fast moving compared to the normal suppressor? Does the supercombine work on vehicles like talon of the lost? Ect. Ect. So I have stopped buying reqs unless it’s with in Game points until I have a handle on the weapons, also why the -yoink- can’t you trade reqs? I have so many I don’t use for example it’s just a personal quirk of mine but I refuse to Sully my hands with a grav hammer call me a nerd but I love the story of this game and I will not use any jiralhanae made weapon. But can I trade my over abundance of hammers to other players for simple commoditys the RNGeusus seems to deny me like storm rifles? Or a plasma pistol? No. But I will make a forum for that later. Back to the original point. so what do you guys think? Tell me (and hopefully 343 too) in the comments why you think we should (or shouldn’t) be able to spawn alternate versions of weapons and vehicles in forge.
It’s been rumored that 343 is going to eventually add all the weapon & vehicle variants for forge. They’ll probably add it in a later update, claiming it to be a new feature when they most likely have been able to add it/could have added it anytime they wanted.
Been mentioned in twitter that we might soon get REQS in forge… yet the big key word is
Soon™
#soon. We get it 5 months later after the free updates finish for a price of $15. XD
Because if we could just use the upgraded weapons and vehicles in Forge, less people would buy REQ packs. Having them only available in Warzone through REQ packs forces you to either grind out the game or pay them more money.
They’ll make them available in Forge once they’ve squeezed every last cent out of the REQ system.
Remember in the past Halo games when we had access to every weapon and vehicle in the game from day one in any mode? Good times back then. Now we gotta grind away or pay.

Well I think that’s dumb, in fact I would buy far more REQ packs if I could place them in forge because I would be able to get a feel for what I was looking for.

actually this is false. in halo 3 lots of vehicles were map locked. you could only spawn them on specific maps
e.g you could only spawn snow variants on Avalanche.
I heard that they are

they stated they weren’t doing that kind of thing. They said they don’t want to divide the playerbase behind a paywall

Yes but at least we could place them at all. Also what really pisses me off is how the halo 1 Magnum and halo 2 battle rifle are both REQ weapons yet there different enough to get into forge but the sword\ultra ghost isn’t despite appearing in campaign.

Ok, so? At least the standard variants were still available. It’s not like they functioned any differently.
My point still stands.

Please don’t give 343 any ideas. I bet they’d love to make us buy REQ packs just to use them in Forge. Hell, I’d be surprised if they haven’t already at least discussed it.
REQs should be available for free to use in Forge and customs.

That chances of this happening are… pretty high actually.

That’s not what I meant. I meant if I could place all of them in forge by default I would buy more REQ packs because I could play around with them in forge and know what I liked long before I got it instead of oh look a new gun wtf does it do? Oh it’s a anti-personnel gun sure wish I would have known that before I tried to kill a mantis with it kind of situation. Like the needeler that works on vehicles how am I to know that it says armor not vehicles and every other needler is a
anti-personnel weapon.
343I is going to add them later when they are done. I heard a good rumor that 343I hasn’t added it because they are still more weapons to add, so to save development time they are going to drop all of it in one big update.
Makes sense considering to add a single weapon, they have to code it in, add the models etc…
Also supporting evidence is in forge itself, the weapons in the menu say [standard] meaning they are going to add all the weapons to let people know what they are. Also super Fiesta proves that 343i is thinking about it at all.

Still though you could technically use them all from the start.
That said at least we get the basic ones. And really, do we NEED much more than that? Not really.
Im not entirely sure how putting REQ vehicles on maps is going to change much, other than giving machinima makers some much-needed prop help.

Add it with the very last update down in June or whatever.
Forge was not even available at release, you really expect 343 to have this finished before the last update?

Yes. Yes I do.
