To me it seems like the forge objects are a bigger problem than Forge World's scenery, huge as it is. There are some known trouble spots like the bottom of the falls, but mostly it's the usual "lights + glass + lots of stuff in one place" that causes framerate issues, not the extravagant background enormity of Forge World itself. Most of my maps are at least partially open air (or have multiple exterior windows) and I've avoided significant problems on most of them. However, I WOULD like a segmented map to build on, simply so it could offer more environments. Give me a Forge World with a little desert, a little snow, a little swamp... that's something I can get behind emphatically.
A forge world palette other than forerunner architecture. Modern would be nice, but I would take bamboo hut on the beach decor as a nice change too.
a human palette and and elite pallete, as others have said, but I would be satisfied with some wood, matte coloured pieces, and some destructible stuff but a snow environment with some snowy pieces, partially frozen or snowed on or however that would be done, would be an excellent addition
As of now an undo and select all button(s) would be nice. Sure, texturing and new landscapes and covenant/wood/etc. pieces I am 100% behind, but this is something that is just too simple and easy to forget. I dont get why at least the undo isnt in Forge.
Human, Forerunner, and Covie palettes would make my day, especially if I could use all three at the same time. A mass selection tool would be nice, along with an undo in case I accidentally delete half my map. As others have said, a segmented world with different themes to play with would be awesome, and since I'm living in a dream here, they could tweak the engine to render the pieces differently depending on where you were building. taking what seredhras said to the next level. We could have frozen pieces in the snow, sand drifts in the corner in the desert, corroded slimy pieces in the swamp, etc. And really would it be that hard? Forge already turns stuff green if its too close to trees, find that bit of code and work it in there right?
A lot of what others have said about a segmented forge world with different themes of snow and sand; a long with a good swampy area and a jungle or thick forest area; and a cavern area somewhere, either as the in between connections as another section itself with some good sized real state with even lighting levels for some good zombie maps. As for a palette I'd love to see an industrial human theme with some good prefabricated buildings and objects like the small bases you find on tsavo highway from halo 3. In general I'd like to see an increased amount of available lights and some more different sizes, a filter to emulate fog or white-out snow fall, and more curved wall pieces in a quarter or half circle size so we can make our own tunnels or tubes more easily, and at least include pallets for breakable objects, maybe some glass as well. I'd be generally happy with a different palette and some good choices of forging places and sizes even if it was only one theme.
All I want in a Forge World is an actual world. (Vague? I know). Also, maybe an area where it's actually in outer space? Or, go high enough and you'd leave the atmosphere of Forge World, so when you look down you can see the mountain and everything? Also, like many others said, more natural objects, instead of rocks. Also, breakables! Breakable walls and such. Also (For the 3rd time), actual switches! Such as "Hold B to open door" switches! That way, we don't need super careful clever forging to make a button. Lastly, an underwater area, where the ceiling is glass and maybe a few windows... (Can anyone say "Bioshock" remakes?) I actually like the pieces we have now, but woulden't mind some new skins for certain pieces.
I'd love to have the ability to spawn giant **** to use an aesthetic pieces. Everyone loves **** and it'd make every map look appealing On a serious note, just some better textures and a better range of pieces.
fix'd lol Anyway, yeah frostbite made a good point, switches would be very sweet in maps. then we could have like artillery and such
I would love for 343 to look at the community maps made all around and think of what each forger was trying to do by placing blocks here or there, on top of each other, in each other, etc. Then ask themselves, "What can we give the community to help them accomplish these same things, only easier and with better aesthetics?"
I think I posted it in another thread relating to Forgeworld, but I would love for some breakable glass panels to be included in Forges palette. Like the ones in Reflection that are used as railings: [sub]Reference; bottom of screenshot, vertical bluish surface, glass, super-heated silica sand, shiny[/sub]
need more objects! trucks, pelicans(id like to make a campaign or invasion more spread out), and more building options
the ability too change the weather of the maps , but to keep things balanced it would take a large sum of money out of your budget . like being able to change the weather style to winter (to put snow on the ground and will change the camo on human vehicles (like on the halo 3 map avalanche) and there should be another "crypt" like area in forgeworld (from sand box) i understand that the room that u spawn when u first start forge world is basically the same thing but one with cave walls would be nice ....so..ya
building blocks that can change shape and form. Have an option to change a 5x5 building block into a radius 5 circle and so on. also be able to change the building blocks into a grass texture. no more flipping tin cups!
