Halo: Reach Discussion

Forge was actually pretty sweet in Halo 3. Especially seeing as how no other modern FPS has anything like it (AFAIK), it was the first implementation and will of course have its initial issues. Use to be only the likes of Tony Hawk Pro Skater and all that jazz had it. Man, I can't believe that shit ran on the PS1. That thing was so puny.

What made forge shit (for me at least) was the fact that the sandbox was limited as hell in terms of what you could build with. I mean don't get me wrong, they did some very unique things with it and what it allowed people to do, but if they want to do forge maps right they need to introduce modular pieces that users can put together easily and convincingly to create relevant structures. I swear if I have to see any more caves made out of crates...

Forge will absolutely be making a comeback.

That would be rigging amazing. Do Bungie own Halo anymore though? Or are they doing this because Microshizen told them to?

Given the practical and legal limits of user-created content on LIVE and Microsoft's policies, Forge may be the best we can get, or rather an improved Forge.

At least, for the XBox version.

yep

If I remember correctly they should follow the Far Cry level editors. I remember it being easy to use and people actually made maps with it rather than variations of existing maps like with Forge.
