Here you can post your Forge Fantasies. What that means is that if you could do anything in Forge(like add AI) what you would do and how would you make an awesome game! I would like being able to add AI. Either spawning them individually or in a drop ship. The ability to put in AI. Because there is nothing better then running across a street and having 6 Hunters appear all around you. My uncle works for Bungie and I know they are working on it but will definitely not be out for Beta and probably not out for Gamma (Full Release). I hope they will implement that by the time Reach comes out! But think about it. You could like strategically place them in the map so it would be 500 times better then Firefight. And yes... Instead of dropping a tank on a guy just drop I don't know. Maybe just: 4 Hunters, 5 Zealots, 7 Brutes, maybe a Sniper Jackal or 2, 3 Drones, and maybe 6 Grunts. I would add AI in strategic places. If there is a very cramped spot where I knew someone would run to I would place a single person there. But in a wide a big place I would use Dropships and place enemies there. And if someone was doing a little too good they would find a 10,500(I am talking about a Hunter, P.S. They weigh 10,500 lb.) pound surprise on their heads. And I would also like to have custom building(so you don't have to work with flat sheets of metal. Like REAL building that have floors and multiple levels and everything!) and then put those in the BIG maps and then put AI in there and have them guard it. OOOO!!! I just came up with something!!! Team choosing!!! So lets say you're using Forge-CTF(when you're using Forge while playing CTF) and you want to spawn an AI there will be many options regarding teams. 1. Default. AI are all on one team(lets call it AI team. It is just like any other team but only AI can be in it) and is against everyone else. 2. Team. AI are on whatever team you put them on. So if before I press the Spawn button I can press Blue team or Yellow team. And you could put them on the same team as a Human is on and they will be allies with that team. But enemies with the others!! 3. Exterminator. When you press this option that enemy(or group if you use that option with a dropship) will be all for themselves. Which means they will attack other players AND other AI (like free-for-all). And you can do this for any game-type you want. And they can go on any team you choose. O.K. And Imagine this. Putting one of the custom buildings in a HUGE map(which there will be HUGE HUGE maps in Reach(no spoiler there).) Then playing... ... ... INVASION!!!!!!!!! And make it so the only 2 teams are Players and AI. And set AI intelligence/strength to Legendary. Then set players Strength/shields to Legendary(for the player that is bad obviously) and give them 2-5 allies(depending on how many people are in your game) (HA! I bet you never thought using AI as allies). They can be Marine, Elite, Jackal, Grunt, Skirmisher. But not Brute, Hunter or anything like that because the will help you too much. Then a head to head match of destroying their generators. And a RADICLE improvement to the AI system which will let them try to steal your flag(in Capture the Flag), Capture Territory(Territories). And PLEASE add to this idea and add your own.
I want to know, will there be instant interlocking/merging. Also, when will the beta be put onto Xbox Live? I want to know so I can know if I can start downloading the beta before I leave my house. I live in the central time zone nad leave before 7 a.m.
sorry about that, I'm just excited for Halo Reach. Anyway, I think A.I. Would be a good idea as long as the programming was simple enough. One Reach forging idea/dream I have would be having a huge item limet to forge with and having a lot more items to choose from, and then having more of those items, too. Like say, 20 items instead of 10. Those are my forging dreams.
