Your Forge, Custom Games Wishlist

First post on Waypoint. =D

Hello people. The purpose of this thread is for you to list out what particular features you think would be cool to see in Forge and Custom Games for Halo 5. Small or large, feel free to speak your minds out. Go crazy. Let your imaginations run wild.

A handful of ideas I have in mind:

  • Select background music for use in Custom Games. The soundtrack encompasses every track from the Halo series. Can be cued based on certain parameters. - Spawn AI allies and enemies, even those not present in Halo 5: Guardians’ campaign. Such as the Flood and Brutes. Adjust their behavior and difficulty. - Equipment from Halo 3 and Armor abilities can be made as map pick-ups should the player desire them (even Armor Lock). - Adjust weapons’ rates of fire, effective range, lunge distance, aim assistance, and so on. - Make your character left-handed. - Dual wield any and every weapon, toggle-able of course. - Being unarmed. - Dropping your weapon on the ground. - Walking on walls/ceilings. - Zero-gravity environments, with thrusters, would make for interesting space battles. - Toggle which Spartan ai - Johnson and Cortana could be alternate announcers. - Skulls. - CUSTOM GAME MATCHMAKING!!! - Adjust vehicle speed. - Third-person gameplay.That is all I can think of right now. But what ideas do you have in mind?

Oh man that’s quite the wish list. I hope you get everything you want! I don’t dabble in forge much at all, so I am not qualified to give adequate feedback.

  • Resizable forge objects
  • Conveyor belts
  • Functioning ODST drop pods
  • Terrain Editor to make hills/ditches
  • Toggle option on some objects to make them destructable (think vents in Warzone that you Spartan Charge through)
  • Colorable vehicles
  • Ability to highlight X amount of blocks to copy and paste (such as an intricate building that you don’t feel like replicating for another 10 minutes)
  • Ability to set a scripted path for an object to take (sort of like the satellite in the middle of Ascension)

That’s all I can think of for now.

I’m particularly intrigued by zero-g multiplayer!

Especially with thrusters and ground pound!

My wishlist:
~ Own terrain editor: build the base of the map before actually building ON the map
~ Music uploader/selector: let’s not have the same background music in everything, please.
~ Structure uploader: we see something we like in-game, we can have the AI “scan” the building for use/copy in forge.
~ true gravity: if we’re in space, we don’t have gravity. If we’re in orbit, we have microgravity.
~ map scaling/cut-offs: if we don’t need the whole map, we can “cut” it to save filesize and have other components (kind of like trimming edges off of an image)
~ have all vehicles used to up to date: if we’ve seen it, we can use it. (we’re downloading everything else for the game, why not this too?)
~ dynamic shots: bullets drop, expecially at longer ranges, impacts are not the same point-blank as they are 500yds out. There’s a maximum efficiency range.
~ dynamic weather: if it’s thunder-and-lightning in the skies, we should be hit by lightning every now and then.

yea, probably not getting any of this anytime soon.

Doesn’t mean we can’t be creative, though.

Multiple texture themes to choose from, please.

That and resizable building blocks are my biggest hopes.

  • My wish list:

  • Forge: different textures, so we would have Forerunner, Covenant, UNSC and Flood. as well as that we should have wood, old wood, dark wood, steel, rusted steel, concrete, and cracked concrete. There would be more of them than what I have written but I have just not thought of them.

  • More special effects, time of day.

  • We should be able to place water, lava, fire, ice.

  • Terrain blocks like flats of grass, hills, trees etc, so we can create our own canvas on which to work on.

  • In Forge World in Halo Reach, there was text above your Motion Tracker which would tell you the name of where you were. We should able to place them and they should work like kill zones.

  • Copy/paste.

  • Scripting like in Halo 2 Anniversary.

  • Custom Games: Game Options feature.

  • Some kind of ball game like Griftball so we can make volleyball, basketball etc.

  • Unarmed mode.

Without split-screen, I honestly won’t be adding anything to Halo 5: Guardians. What’s the point? Xbox Live for the Xbox One won’t be supported forever. And even if the 9th gen Xbox is backwards compatible, the 10th won’t support Xbox One. In time, everything I’ve done would’ve become unplayable. Why bother?

My biggest wish is custom games matchmaking, and 343i support of custom games (weekend specials, top community picks, ect). I played a few days of custom games with some friends on mcc and it was honestly the most fun I’ve had on that game. Plus that is where all of my amazing memories of halo 3 came from :slight_smile:

Custom conveyor belts im trying to make a conveyor belt with scripting and blocks but i fall through the block while its moving and timing the blocks right is a pain.

Holy Necropost Batman!
Gotta admit, I like some of the OP’s ideas, especially the adjustable weapons and background music
