Modded Game types. Support: As Most people do not realize, Bungie Bans People for Modded Fileshare Pictures. But Modded Maps and gametypes can still be found throughout the Site. I came here to bring up the question "Should Modded Gametypes Be allowed on Forgehub" Most of you already are thinking i have lost my mind, and that this has already been brought up a hundred times, but the truth is, the Forgehub Staff has never fully decided on w hether to allow, or ban, modded gametypes and Maps. I am not here to say that Modded maps are fine, But if they were confined in their own Forum such as "New Maps: Modded Content" They should be fine right? I say we test things out, even if its just for a week or two, Allow modded content to be on forgehub, but moderate it closely, if something is found that doesn't follow the rules, Stop it right there and then and i will rest my case. Offer: So, all i am asking for is a few simple things *Make a Special Forum for Modded Content only *Allow the use of Modded game types *And see how things go. If this is a bad idea, i will take the fall for it and say it was a bad idea from the beginning But just think of all the fun modded maps and game types have brought. I mean common, who HASN"T played a map where you start with flamethrowers, its just all around fun, and think of the uses the clones could be in maps. The possibility are endless. Backup and support: Along with Bungie Ban news: A few other debates about allowing the use of Modded Content #Should bungie allow gametype mods that have a carbine start? - MLG Forums #Bungie.net : Community : Forum Topic Listing : Forum Reply Listing #Modded Gametypes Question - Edgeworks Entertainment #GameSpot Forums - Halo 3 - Regarding the Modded Content Warning Modded Maps are not Bannable unless Used in Matchmaking. Conclusion: I believe that if Forgehub can show that it is a respectable and Mature sight, that Bungie would not be offended if we allowed a small forum for modded content ONLY. Your Views on Modded content: Feel free to speak your mind. But still obey the rules and the Forgehub staff. Pros: Cons:
FIRST!!! Yes, I would like to see this, but I will edit this after reading your wall. Edit: No. Bungie are our friends. Besides, you get banned for uploading modded content.
Well modded content is great in all but why not ban it all? It makes zero sense to ban some modded content abusers and not ban others. Bungie really needs to put down its iron fist a lay the law.
hmm yes, i think that modded content whether it be gametypes or maps should be allowed however, if someone were to get banned for using said mods, they may blame it on FH in reltaliation however we won't know until we try it so i say do the test =]
i agree, modded content should be allowed, only if there is a special place for it. Modding isn't even that big of a deal. I don't see why bungie get there panties in a bunch. the only thing i do agree with them is the cheat modders, they should be banned. whoa, i just went totally of subject. back to the subject: I think the would bring even MORE fun to the game! it would be really fun playing maps never played, crazzy kick-ass game types. So in my opinion, i do agree with you
This is out of the question. We want to stay on good terms with Bungie...If we allow modded content, we might not remain their "go-to" site for forged content for future matchmaking playlists, features, etc. Thanks Sarge...lololol
I vote yes. Because of the gametypes and maps that can come from this. -Four Flag. -Clone Filled Map (for the unliked Hide 'n' Seek) -Neutral Bomb with no Waypoint -Underwater Maps The ideas are endless. But will never happen because you will get a concusion from the ban-hammer.
well see i completely support this cause and i'd definately participate in it. I'd like it a wholllle lot but it would be extremely frowned upon by the bungie community and we want to keep their respect, like tex (and/or sarge?) said. This would be great as it's own website as a place for forge hub members to go.
I dont think it should be allowed until Bungie allows it, then maybe it should be considered. You really cant trust what people would do and I think it would harm the reputation of the site Maybe gametypes would be cool, like carbine starts like that MLG thread said, or turret/flamethrower starts etc., but I doubt modded maps would ever be allowed by Bungie or FH
I think they should allow it, we can host modded gametypes. That doesn't mean that we support it though. Also mods can help overall map play, like how you can get rid of elephants on sandtrap.
Yes, i have thought a bit since i have posted this, and bungie may frown upon it. I'm not sure, More suggestions would be nice.
Did you actually post something more than a paragraph long without having to copy and paste it from someone else? lol Regardless, the answer, although not final, is no. In my opinion, modding should be left to the people who actually know how to do it. You could argue that Forging is shared, and therefore modded content should also be shared. However, modding can be cheating, while Forging can't. Besides, I've seen enough people who think that they're "so cool" for having a gametype that gives them Flamethrower starts, and frankly, it gets annoying.
