Would you rather have...?

Wich would you prefer?

  1. A Forge world just as big as in Reach with almost the same abilities, objects and room to use. This would be on the one and only disk for Halo 4 and would limit the capacity of Forge by a lot.

  2. A/multiple Forge World(s) with much more room, more objects and abilities. Because of it being so much bigger and expanded than option 1 Forge would be on a separate disk.

So actually the question is: would you mind switching your disk for Forge if it was bigger, better and more fun? Or would you rather have a Forge that is just as big as Forge is in Reach all on one disk? Do you think a bigger and better Forge is worth switching your disk?

I would prefer option 2 because forge has already gone a whole lot better than in H3, but it isn’t what it could and maybe should be. I hope 343 considers this because I think the Reach disk is already pretty full and if they want to listen to their (Forge)fans they will have to add abilities, areas, objects that will simply not fit on today’s disks… I wouldn’t mind switching at all for Forge and I also believe there is no reason for Forge and Campaign, Matchmaking, … to be on 1 disk.

You would be able to create a map on the Forge disk and save it to your harddrive or with cloud saving, then if you wanted to playtest it with friends you would simply pop in the main Halo 4 disk and start playing your freshly created map. And people that do not Forge will also not be bothered by it because they will not have to use the Forge disk.

Option 2. Hell I’d happilly by a forge game.

You’d have to put custom games and matchmaking on the Forge disc in order to make that work.

If you had forge on one disc, then matchmaking and custom games on the other, then that wouldn’t work the way you think it would because in order to play to play the maps you made on the forge disc you’d have to have everything on the forge disc also in the Custom/Matchmaking disc.

If you didn’t have every bit of what is on the forge disc on the Custom/Matchmaking disc then the maps you made wouldn’t appear on the disc with multiplayer. They wouldn’t exist on that disc.

Option 2!

Personally, I would rather have to get up for 10 seconds to switch the disks then have to deal with a limited forge component. Just think, if they can fit a huge forge world and all of the other maps, along with firefight, matchmaking, campaign, and theater on one disk, I would love to see how much would be possible using say two disks. using 2 disks could improve all of the sectors of the game, not just forge. More space could potentially mean a longer campaign, or an improved matchmaking system, or even more maps.( All depending on work force and budget of course.) I really don’t see the huge complaint against having more than one disk in a game. It doesn’t really bother me at all, and I don’t see the complaints it gets.
