In this weekly update, Frankie mentions that there will be even more Forge objects in the next batch of new maps. They probably have most of them worked out, but what exactly do you want them to add? Forge Hub is arguably the community that does the most with what Forge offers. We squeeze every last bit of functionality out of every object, often using them in imaginative ways to achieve innovative results. From this thread, many people are wishing for a ladder. What tools do you want them to give us? I'd like to see gates or doors that can be opened or closed by switches. We can already set teleporter channels and set objects to spawn at certain times after the start of the round. Why not have doors tied to a switch on a specific channel, and possibly set it to close again after a certain amount of time? You could set the door and the switch far away from each other so that you need a teammate to open it for you. You could set it just far enough away that you have to make an incredible jump over the battlefield before it closes. It would be cool. Anyway, what would everyone else like to see?
2D triangular or 3D (like a crate sized pyramid)? Oh yeah, VIP starting points and Juggernaut starting points. I've heard other people say they want different "skins" for objects, so that Foundry doesn't always have to look like a warehouse. I wish we could at least have a red something and a blue something.... A signs and B signs come close, but just don't cut it.
They can't do Juggernaut or VIP spawns... the way the system calculates who the VIP or Juggernaut doesn't really on position... its just a random player...
Maybe just a moving platform, either Horizontally or Vertically. It could be active all the time, or activated by a switch...
A Double or Single Box where not just 2 ends are open, but all 4 sides. A giant weapon holder, that actually looks cool, not just throwing weapons against Crates or Barriers or something, they should make some big weapon holder that holds like 5-10 Weapons.
The weapon racks like in the campaign would be cool. I'd like to see more large scenery objects. Or the trucks with the trailers like in Crow's Nest.
Agreed... but before I get Forge Objects... I want an immunity to assassinations feature for custom games... that is my biggest pet peeve on Halo.
Yeah, I am making a pyramid/temple like building right now and I was telling Furious the other day how cool it would be to have multiple skins for all objects. Like an Indiana Jones Temple of Doom skin. And the soccerball could be reskinned as the rolling boulder of death. I would also like breakable glass, like they have in Halo2 maps. And items that have more functionality, like everyone here's talking about door switches and moving platforms. That would be nice. But number 1 would have to be skins. I'm tired of asking everyone to use their imagination so much. If I make a temple, I want people to instantly recognize it as such. Not just some new arangement of warehouse crates.
I said that it would be cool to have a diff skin for foundry all together, like for Cerastes it could be a snow themed skin. So yes to skins
GO SKINS GO!!! but seriously... I want a wooden spool that's actual size... not taller than a 7 foot spartan...
There are wooden spools that actually are that size. We have wooden wire spools out in our shop's yard right now that are easily 8ft tall turned on their sides.
That makes me sad... oh well they make nice pillars inside of houses... Speaking of houses I want more scenery... like couches, TVs, Refrigerators, Lamp fictures, tables, chairs, counter tops... basically everything that we hand made on our new splinter cell map...
I play paintball (like 3 times a month) and lots of fields use 7 or 8 foot spools as bunkers. Oh and i want more game related scenary (weapon racks) such as cumputers, spare parts, more barricades, more covenant decor, tables and chairs. I also want some sort of system where items sort of snap together, like they did in the map maker of Far Cry.
