Popular Post RussianPenguin Posted July 11, 2011 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Halo 4 Forge Ideas 1. odst drop pods-ive been trying to make them since halo 3 but they never looked as cool or performed the right way. when you got in them you clip ur weapon into the side and take control of the pod and maybe have a little manuever capabilities. 2. ammo-yes i know theres other posts on these but i want to sum it all up and i give credit to whoever came up with it. anyways ammo of all sorts on the map tht u could pick up. you can make the any types of ammo you want and they come in like the little unsc ammo boxes or covenant ones. 3. dead bodies and blood stains- yes weve all seen them in the campaign but what if you could make a scene of your own? for instance you wanted to make a somewht scary infection map so you make the lighting dim and put a few human bodys down the hallway with blood stains on the walls. sick right? or maybe you want to make a regular battle map and put dead spartans and elites and all other types of bodys and put them all over the map. the ideas r endless. they could do it three ways. they could either do it like (spartan type 1, spartan type , spartan type 3) in the forge menu and it picks out three different scripted armors and colors to place around, idea #2 is there is just one option for each type of body (ie spartan, elite, marine, grunt, etc) and it randomly makes body type made up of armor and colors. and its random so everytime u choose the option over youll get a, lets say were using a spartan body, and the colors and armor types are randomly generated every time. #3 is you can get more advanced and pick the armor thats on tht body type and the specific color. and there can be all types of bodys like as for blood stains we put in all the basics. the regular red human blood, the light blue grunt blood, the purple jackal/elite blood, green skirmisher/bugger blood etc. and then you can place it or stick it to any surface object such as a wall or ceiling or floor. 4. this is also a biggy. many feel tht forge 2.0 was a let down because not all vehicles and possibilities were put in. im not just talking about the standard vehicles like in reach, im talking more. depending on wht vehicles they take out and put in halo 4, will change this, but they should have all the standard vehicles tht u would expect. Now, onto the big stuff. we need more variety to make bigger better maps and gametypes. like vehicles tht werent put into any halo forge. first off we should bring back the elephant from halo 3. although slow and somewhat vulnerable, it was invincible and made multiplayer and custom games turn into some wacky situations. but thts wht we love about halo all the crazyness tht can happen. i remember big team battle in halo 3 where both teams drove the elephants next to each other facing the other direction and as we were shooting and bombing the other elephant we all got this urge to become pirates and started jumping and boarding each others "ship" lets just say noone got the objective. anyways yes we want the old elephants back they were fun no matter wht. now some other vehicles. yes they should also throught in some easy to throw in vehicles such as the forklift and the troop hog. maybe even some civilian vehicles. those are a no biggy. but wht about pelicans and phantoms? is it possible we could forge them and fly them around? we would be able to load all the seats up with players and invade all at once quick and clean. whether they are invincible like the elephant is up to them. but even if we couldnt load up the phantom and pelican and sit in the seats and drive them, why not put them on the map anyway? thnk invasion where we could just place a phantom or pelicn to extract the core, and although we would be able to full interact maybe we could jump in the hangar and just use thier turrets? not a bad idea, but i would love to drive them and store my whole team in them. of course this is for forge not multiplayer so everything will be fine and balanced. unless 343 comes up with some crazy gametype with a pelican you never know! besides all tht, ik this is probably impossible but wht about ships? such as covenant cruisers and the unsc frigates with explorable hulls tht you could also put stuff in? hackers put the frigates on sandtrap on halo 3? why can a game developer do it? atleast its legal. but even if they couldnt how about smaller ships such as the one the odsts drop out of, tht are only half the size of the frigates? and for the covenant how about a corvette instead of a supercarrier? the ships may not happen, but pelicans elephants and all the others are possible. 5. yes this is just a little idea. spawn different interiors and buildings. yes ik its crazy but think about it. maybe spawn the interior of a building in exodus in reach or the flood lair where all the flood eggs are on halo 3? then for buildings maybe spawn a specific forerunner structure such as the one at the end of halo 3 where *** ******* dies. crazy but just an idea 6. this is just a small not important idea. ive always wanted to make a battlefield look worn and show tht something happend here before. so i think it would be kinda cool if you can spawn a destroyed version of a vehicle and place it on the map, uve probably seen the most commen ones the warthogs destroyed throughout the campaign. and yes ik i could just blow up my vehicle but then it dissapeaars eventually 7.this is another small one, just random crap like trees and plants to maybe make a cool jungle or forest map Disc 2 Option- Halo 4 can come with 2 discs so it can fit more into the game. Disc options Have disc 2: YES-50 votes Most Votes:Disc 1 Huge Campaign, Theater Disc 2 Matchmaking, Firefight,Custom Games,and a Kick-ass FORGE-23 add your own ideas: I am James. And I am awesome. These are the Forge ideas I found all over the site, I would like EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT I AM NOT THE AUTHOR OR CREATOR OF ANY OF THESE IDEAS, with the exception of the ones that I list as my own. Thank you for understanding. Forge Features: My ideas- skulls, terminals (that you can type your own things into) and a full ring to forge upon. (sorry, not sure who wrote these ones) placeable AI's self destruct button ExplosiveLamp Changeable background IU IF IA II IL Higher/No budget for forge Glue (or as I call it group) tool, to make several items combine into one Object/Vehicle creator Environmental effects, such as day/night, rain/snow, etc ThatNightmar2 Climate control and light sources (I want to know if he means sun or lamp) Changeablitly in the object's sizes Prophet pie Terraforming (I want this as well and soo many people do. It's a great feature) Forge on a separate disk (again, he's not the only one) Wolfy5079 Destructible environment Vehicles joshe728 Forgeable vehicles like Carrir/corvette, Scarab, Vulture, phantom IU IF IA II IL Halo Wars vehicles (personally I want Locusts and Vampires) ODST Pods (I'm not sure as these are vehicles but I don't know where else to put them) UNSC Buffalo (check this out it's freakin' BEAST) ThatNightmar2 Vehicle specifics- paint, rims, height (possibly change these in a garage I keep hearing about) Kurt S-051 Also wants spaceships like frigates, corvettes, etc Maps/maptypes Headhunter wants Sandbox back. Can you blame him? Prophet pie Area over gas giant's surface (trying to get more info on this one) Water physics ability- Put down pipes and tunnels to move water to a different area of the map StarKiller117 Dense forest (the following are comments on his thread) Roads throughout, with chokepoints and open areas to support vehicles Only small, mobile vehicles should be on this map MasterxChiefx13 Space maps, aerial, spacial combat/dogfights My ideas- The full Halo ring to work with. I don't know if I already said it in this post but if I did, that's how important it is. Yeah. Misc. and Unfit IU IF IA II IL Paintshop for vehicles, Spartans, and guns (change skins, add camo, etc) Play as a brute (I agree, with some tweaks to what the Brutes are capable of now) A 'Killwall" rather that a killzone, cross the wall you die. Epic The remainder is either a repeat or more stuff about camo's, or a garage for vehicle editing/painting. All of these are great ideas, I'm still trying to get more information about the stuff I really like, but for now I don't know what these people mean, I only have what they type so please, feel free to message them and ask, and remember, NONE of these are mine I'm just moving them to somewhere that can be found easily. XTRA SPCIAL THNX TO Spectral Jester for moving my post to the top, thanks a bunch to Absolute Dog for the idea and I'd like to thank RussianPenguin in advance for changing this post for me if and when I find more info! And as always thank you to Bungie for making the greatest game of all time, thank you to 343 for keeping it going, and thank you to the fanks of Halo for making it such a big deal that, love it or hate it, no one stops talking about it! 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafter Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 that's it, somethings which are in past post are important too, (add them to the top) About vehicles, people have been asking for: scarab, sabre, seraph, short/longsword, and some vehicles from Halo Wars. Moreover, I think we should be able to use each vehicle to the fullest; meaning, How came the falcon can't transport passengers? it should transport them and they should be able to fire their own weapons, no matter how difficult it can be. Moreover, we should be able to use the pelican and phantom with all their capabilities, meaning, people could sit in the pelican to gain space to place two mongooses in the middle. furthermore, the pilot or co-pilot should be able to use the grapple to grab warthoughs or tanks to the back part or the pelican, as well as the phantom. people've been asking to make firefight forgable and thus the ability to place AI's. the ability to "glue objects" as RussianPenguin said is good and has already been mentioned as well. just imagine sme has to move piece by piece of his giant base or racetrack, just because it the end he found that it would look bad in that place or didn't fit or smth like that. I think tere were more things but can't remember them now, will add if I remember, 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafter Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 i wrote the part with the glue and stuff in bold...i like credit changed, sorry about that. I wrote this some weeks ago: Since we're talking about Forge, we should enumerate some mistakes: -Bungie acknowledged that a way of making an object disappear after a certain period of time or phase was a good idea, but did not included it in the game. -Bungie said that they never had wanted to create an undo and redo option in the game. For the obvious reasons, this is wrong. -As sme said earlier, a forge option for pc would be nice, this program could be free, as only halo-4-buyers will want to download it. -When on forge, when you pick your screenshot and/or lights and etc, an object stays in the place in which you took your screenshot/ placed the light, (such objects are cameras and light orbs), these objects are "hard"; meaning, you can't pass through them or shoot trough them while on forge (they disappear in the game), and might create some difficulties when building around on Forge. This matter doesn't seem to me to be any difficult to solve. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasifist Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Indeed great topic especially with dead bodies, blood splats, ammo, and I would love to spawn pelicans like a crash site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartan G092 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 another good idea would be to be able to spawn larger structures such as the large beacons in the level halo and the map infinity. to make large maps better with larger structures. and be able to build underground so you can make underground tunnel systems. another would be light bridges. to bridge large gaps and generally improve the look of things. and be able to spawn human and covenant objects. that would be able to suit different people's preferences. another would be large pieces of ships instead of a whole ship. that way you could build a whole ship, or construct a crash site. and make it so objects not only have a rotational snap, but to be able to snap to other objects as well. that would make building structures easier and more efficient. and be able to make functional doors. you could put a door with a switch, or an automatic door. and connectible hallways of different designs. such as the human ones that use the square design with the airlocks or the massive forerunner hallways in halo ce. these are all object add ons of course so they are not very demanding on the game itself. and, this would make things interesting because there would be no way to tell who or what is on the other side of the door. you run to a door, hit the switch, and hello! another guy is on the other side and now you both fight to the death. that would be really fun. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babysas007 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I have posted many of these ideas myself on other topics, i read this one thinking "i am not the only one" But we have to (unfortunately)remember that disc,though better than the floppy's, can only hold so much. I have completely read every post, and frankly we (including me) are asking a lot from 343i. But we are fans, and that is are job other than the one that gives us monies to pay for more halo games (F.T.W) In order to insert all the ideas that we as forgers have in mind, we need to have 2 disc like O.D.S.T. I know what some of you are thinking, "i hate switching discs over and over again", but to be honest i love everyone's ideas. If you truly want pelicans, ammo clips, blood, AI spawning, forge-able firefight maps, etc. then we need a second disc. I have work this out in my head and still can't figure out one thing...what do we move to the second disc? We could move campaign and theater over and have more room for multiplayer/customs/forge/firefight... ...or we could move forge/firefight/customs to one disc by itself and have multiplayer/campaign/theater together. there are many ways you could shift it but i would like your opinions on the 2 disc concept. We may not like it, but it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may not like it, but it works. Mutiplayer on one, campaign on the other just like ODST.. They would have to keep stuff like theater on both of them if you wanted to record in campaign. As that was already a feature in the last two games. If people complain about switching discs then you should buy there lazy ass a Wii and Wii Fit, then after a few weeks they may not be that freaking lazy! *cough* Twam! *cough* 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may not like it, but it works. well, it depends on the size of the campaign, really. But, If we're not thinking about a campaign too big, I would say: disk 1: campaign, forge, theatre disk 2: multiplayer, custom games, firefight, theatre. More on forge. Yes, having switches would be good, as well as elevators. the idea of the elevator should be created in a way that we could create those things that appeared in Halo 2 which we used to move around between island in Delta Halo. (don't know the name) Meaning, one should be able to create an object and tell it to move from A to B after pressing the switch X. This reminds me of the creation of moving objects, imagine: sme creates two pirate ships, have them pass near each other and leave; good for a funny CTF or assault game, for example. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartan G092 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 here's a great idea, instead of cramming everything on one disc, make the game a 2 disc set. one could have the campaign, while the other contains the multiplayer content. that would allow for major expansion on both the campaign and multiplayer. more detail and a longer campaign on disc one, and more multiplayer content and enhanced forge on disc 2. its a plus for everyone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azaxx Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 i would LOVE there ideas, BUT remember some of your points could put severe strain on the game adn it would lag like hell, if done normally. But adding a scrarab or Locust(from halo wars) would be AWESOME. And maybe AA wraiths like the ones i Halo 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
