    Yes, sadly there is still a limit to how many objects you can place on the map at one time. I first figured this out while forging my Orbital remake. I was just barely able to finish the map structure, and as I was placing spawns it happened. The game does not say anything to you, it just does not let you spawn another item.

    Now this isn't a huge deal for most forgers, but for those who try to use everything that they possibly can, are in for a challenge. After the max amount of objects have been placed, the map tends to want to delete some of the objects, or de-spawn them. This is by far the most irratating thing I've encountered about forge and figured I should warn the community.

    Doing the math, that's 650 total objects placed on the map before it stopped letting me spawn items.​

    It's proven to be the object limit because any object is exchangable with another.
    They all carry the same amount of weight.​

    Example.
    ( 1 Frag grenade = 1 Wall Coliseum )​



    With that being said, you need to watch your item quantity as well as your budget. Not to mention the weight of frame-rate being caused in the map by certain items which can be found here. ​


    This is true for all 3 forge maps Halo 4 has to offer.​

    I also encountered this with my foundry remake, and I do also believe the object limit was 650 for Halo: Reach as well. Thanks for clearing this up though, glad it wasn't just me.

    Yeah, I encountered the same thing with my Citadel remake initially. Version 1.0 I was unable to spawn any more than 3 hill markers for KOTH. However in later revisions, I was able to substantially reduce the object count so it was no longer a problem.

    This makes sense now. I was wondering what was going on.

    Happened to me, as well on one of my recent maps. After thinking, I do believe that objects started disappearing. I will definitely look out for this, now that I know about it.

    Yep. It's exactly the same in Reach. Even people with JTAGs can't get around it i think. They can get past the budget, but not the total item limit.
