Holla at a FORGE GUY,
If you want ideas for Forge just look at the maps I've forged already in Halo Reach.
Specifically: The Cells, and The Faculty on gangstab0p's file share.
I'm going to list off things Forge would need to be Absolutely Amazing.
1) Texture choice & color choice: Not just gray metal like texture.
eg) Wood, Onyx, Tiles, Stone, Concrete, Grass etc. Any the ability to change the colors of each. (Pink Grass lol)
2) Daytime preferences: eg) Early morning, sunset, afternoon sun, evening, dusk, night... you get the idea.
3) Weather choices: Rain: light or heavy with thunder and lightning preferably, Snow: blizzard conditions if possible, Haha maybe in HALO 6 or 7 but seriously am I wrong??
4) Lights: Not just two balls of light per forge map. Like legit lights that you could switch on and off or even shoot out. I'm just saying it would be awesome. You would probably need to implement placeable light switches and give the option of indestructible lights.
5) Moving map pieces, some with animations.
Eg) Doors that open/close and are destructible, with the option of making them indestructible,
Elevators,
Escalators,
Forge robot wanderers that can be shot and explode causing debris and damage if a player gets hit,
Moving security cameras, with monitors showing realtime footage. Both destructible, with the option of making them indestructible. And if you reall wanna go far with it add tracks, for the camera do move around the level with.
Windows: Destructible, or not,(These obviously would be stationary),
Moving Belts(think airport or, those walking escalater type things at disney world)
Fire: Like a bin on fire, or fire burning on the ground from a chemical spill.
ETC.
6) Weapon cases: Some with breakable glass casing, some with breakable locks. Some that can hold multiple weapns.
7) More Decoration: eg) Plants, desks, food, radios, Spartan Storage Capsules like where master chief sleeps when he isn't needed, Toliets, mirrors, urnels, like decoration kind of speaks for itself.
Snapping option: Like if your making a floor or a ceiling or walls. Instead of spending hours lining them up, have a snapping tool that puts them perfectly together. Ofcourse with the option of disabling it.
9) More userfriendly gametype creation system: Simplify it, Have more specific tags like: Blue Team Bomb Detenation, Blue Team Bomb Spawn etc.
10) More Variety of Pieces: Like Ventilation systems, tunnels(remember highground's),Full Room Layouts with doorways attached etc for indoor maps, Spikes etc.
Well I'm sure I could think of more, but this is good for starters. I'd like to hear some more suggestions from everyone. Truthfully this Post is a bit late but these ideas I believe would be awesome and I hope to see them in Halo 5 or 6 if not Halo 4.
