I think a combo of the past 4 forge modes with many of these past ideas tweaked with some 343 pizazz would make an epic game mode. The monitor has sorta worked itself in there as the original symbol. Even when i play CE, he pops up n makes me wanna go play forge. Playing as a monitor makes sence to, it can fly, its small, kinda the only way u can play as one too being as combat consists of throwing fusion coils at eachother with minimal succession. Maybe now that the mode itself has come so far as to have its own category completly ( in regards to machinima, even firefight?modes, etc,.) there could be a character selector? Hit up on the D pad and your just a hovering civilian, a bird( haha a tuckin Moa), maybe an odst or flood infection till you touch ground then maybe click a thumb stick or somethin to start a test walk thru. Just even to have the option for those intence machinima makers, i have made a fare share of aestheticly pleasing sets but exodus? halo 4 prolog man? NOTHING makes spartans look more burley bad ass when there chill and theres civilians cowaring behind them like there APC's.
Obviosly having a bigger character model would be more of a fuss if it say had limbs and what not it could glitch out and get stuck. doesnt our trustey monitor randomly vibrate and explode after a short epileptic sensitive freakout between blocks? I think it should just come with the territory, just a simple looking ragdoll model till you bring life to it to do a quick run thru... As an emu.. Haha i had to. Seriosly thou even any of the kig-yar or a drone? It could give covenant BOTs a goal, spartan just turns into a skirmisher n hovers like 40 yards away from them then touches down n starts shootin back at el spartans from behind seperate cover. Oooh or a sentinal. Its obvious that this idea is still kinda storming up but let it sit, the idea grows on you
