Sadly Just AL Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I've thought of this since Reach's forge, but it would be great if you can change a day map to night (without special FX) or even make a rainy or windy map. This could take map design to a whole new level as well as improve machinima locations. Do you guys think it'd be a great Idea? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I do not see why it could not happen. Yes, it would take a lot of work and would probably only be applicable to the "forge worlds". 343i would probably have to completely recreate the textures for each map and make them separate building templates instead of making this "option" in forge world. I do not see there being anything other than just weather though. Combinations of different environmental conditions would be very difficult. So 343i would have to make a "snowy and windy" and a "snowy and not windy" map. This is something that might seem simple in concept but is very difficult to implement without any error.

BaconShelf Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Bungie actually were going to put weather, such as fog and rain for example, in Forge World but ran out of time. It wasn't in halo 4 because in a cave and space, there isn't weather and one small map for a huge feature would be pointless. In terms if visual effects, not too difficult but changing the terrain to desert, grass, snow etc would be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZzSleepyzZ Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I hope they put these features in halo 5, and just one big improved forge world instead of 3 small ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimeLessHalo9090 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 This is something people have been asking for for quite a while. It is a really simple thing to add to the game compared to some of the other features they added to Halo 4's forge, such as real-time lighting. I think the only reason they haven't added it is so they can have something else in the future halo games to get the forging community hyped. I think we can count on seeing this in halo 5! It would drastically change the mood and feel of the map and could present many new opportunities for forging. One idea I have are being is being able to have different types of weather take place at different key moments in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vehicle Destroyer Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 It should be simple effects; rain, wind, sand storm, lightning, fog, etc. But maybe not only selected by the game settings, the "Map Default" should be however the map was created or forged. Again, rain, wind etc. But the effected area can be changes, so I can have a rainy room, a sand storm outside, lightning randomly through the sandstorm.. etc. Good idea with the weather thing Im sure theres more than this that can be done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Viper Dragon Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Thats a great idea. Hopefully they do that for the next Halo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scullshark Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 great ideas. I think that you should also have the ability to change the ground texture, like to sand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearClawsKiller Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Yea that would be pretty cool. It would bring a different feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi1176 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Weather editing would be awseome but before that i want to see my AI's in there! But it would be cool to play flood and have the map be raining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
