In other, less literal words, even though the website and accommodating forums were founded for the purpose of using and sharing tricks, tips, and creations for a tool in Halo 3 doesn't mean that creative map construction should be isolated to a single game. In am optimistic projection, Forgehub could support maps for many more games in the future. Imagine a future where Forgehub is more than a center for Halo 3 maps. Imagine that it becomes a center for maps for all games. That would be something amazing. However, I don't really see this happening. I would love for it to come to fruition, but it's not in my hands, and I won't be crushed if it never sees the light of day.
Gawd, when the game comes out, just make a "FarCry" subsection group. "FarCry featured maps" "FarCry map editor disscusion" "FarCry Maps"
Gawd, phrase your responses in a more condescending and dramatic fashion next time... An interesting suggestion nonetheless. Gawd, phrase your response in a more sarcastic fashion next time
ROFL why is this such a big deal. it's like racism all over again except with Halo 3 fanboys and Actual Mapmakers
I don't know, but it is perplexing to me how strongly some people are reacting to the concept of other games than Halo being given the opportunity to flourish... certainly 'fail' comments are completely unhelpful and contribute nothing to the discussion. Halo 3 isn't going to last forever and I think we should have a little faith in some of the promising up coming games that encourage and support community created content, such as Far Cry. People coming in here shouting that just because it's not halo it shouldn't be given the time of day isn't really a decent argument... I mean for all we know bungie could have never released foundry, then what would we have done? I think pretty much everyone would be up for supporting another game by now.
according to the guy who is presenting FC2 the map editer will be the best on any system and computer ever created so ........ lets forge a giant savana and set it ablaze (sp)
i know i have been designing it ever since it was announced... there will be no escape.. your world will burn untill it is but glass... cough.. also do any of you remember this: fcmaps.net: News although still kicking, this comunity is not as friendly, and skillful as forgehub, and i think we could give them a run for their money. take a look at my maps ..probably 2 only, that got on there.
This is of course, opinion. For example, I think that Halo 3 didn't have very good gameplay (and a lot of other things) but that Forge is a great and useful tool. We don't adapt soon, ForgeHub WILL die and out and because of that Im all for it becoming diversified.
i do not think forgehub will die... if that were the case fcmaps.net would have died out along time ago... but not so... but still i want 2 see farcry2 on forge hub
It will prolly be better cause there will be a larger variety of FC2 maps. lots of halo maps have the same feel
I'm all for it. I don't see why not, it makes sense. Those of you who don't want it, don't need to go into the FarCry 2 section.
How much do you guys wanna bet that Halo's forge will live longer than the map editor for FC 2. Sure include it to the site, but Halo 3 will still be going strong years from now while Far Cry will have died off just as CoD 4 soon will.
We will not be supporting the Far Cry 2 Editor on ForgeHub.com Or, at least, thats what was told the last time I was in the staff forum.
Edit: Bah, I meant to grab Shock's post, but screwed up, and now I'm too lazy to get it. Fine, I'll be more on topic. My main qualm with this whole 'Let's integrate Farcry into FH!' thing isn't so much a problem with Farcry. Farcry 2 looks fun, and I might actually indulge and buy it. However, I'm more concerned that by including another game into FH, we would be overdiversifying. FH is a specialized site dealing primarily with one subject. Adding an entirely new game to this site will bring an entire subsect of new players into our site. And I'm cautious towards such a hasty addition to FH that would likely change FH entirely. Are we going to stay a true Halo fansite? Or are we slowly going to shift into a generalized video game map editing forums? That's the problem that I see.
^^^ That is exactly what I don't want to happen to this site. Biased, I know, but I'd prefer it if FH stayed true to Halo, which as I said before, will likely survive longer than FC 2. I do not wish to dilute to strong Halo feel this site provides. With new maps always being developed and Bungie stating in their weekly update that they are planning to build a new Foundry, there will be much forging yet to come from Halo.
you cant say that FC2 is a bad game, and does this site have to be a halo only site? this is a comunity for shairing ideas, maps, and works of art. watch this videoall the way through and listn for what the guy says about the editer: it is at 6:20 G4 - The Feed - Exclusive Hands On: 'Far Cry 2' i am a halo fanboy, and a die hard fan, but i am just as a FC fanboy as i am halo.. well halo a little bit more, but i must say the only thing that saved me from the agonizing (sp) wait for halo 3, was farcry instincts preaditor for 360, and its massive community of exlant map makers. the game was ok ... wacky controlls, with horrible grafix (except some of the spectacular locations and water ) the story was good, but people were pesimistic, and only saw the flaws, and not the sucess's. the map maker could have been better (probably b/c only 1 person made it)!!!, and could have been better, butit was a sucess, and the best one out on a console. (the only other was pariah for xbox ) if you still want halo only then take a look at fcmaps.net ( i posted a link above) type in the name of any famouse halo map, or hurricain wilky (creator) and look at the screenshot of it... look at his lockout wow!! i have 2.5 gigs of farcry IP halo maps currently on my HD, if that makesthe halo fans happy.
