    So with all the cool structural pieces we are getting we shouldn't have much to ask for, but there a couple of things they could add that I think would greatly improve the palate.

    -Gigantic mushrooms ( I think they would serve an aesthetic purpose like the trees do, but would allow for players to jump across)
    -Vines kinda like the ones on Overgrowth
    -Bushes
    -Prefab terrain shaped like a trench ( There would be elbows and straight pieces of a couple different sizes. These would make building caves and tunnels quite a bit easier)
    -Wires of different thickness. Some would be straight, some would turn corners, some would be coiled up
    -Covenant/Forerunner themed pieces ( Maybe just a few corners that would mesh well with the blocks somehow)
    -Placeable water with normal physics. A water source like a pump or open dam wall would be nice too.
    -The ability to record your voice or some other sound effect into the game and play it back on a console within a map ( This is a pretty far fetched one, but would allow for some interesting ideas especially in infection)

    I'm sure you guys can think of some more and I'll keep adding to this if I think of anything else as well.

    I think giving us a small forerunner pallete would go a long way. I would just add lots of little pieces so that we could make our own fancy floaty forerunnery things.

    Completely malleable teleporter zones for some weird stuff.

    Sanghelios objects like the big Elite statue and the temple walls.

    I think it would be cool if they gave us a "Foundry DLC", which would basically be all of the forge pieces from Foundry recreated in Halo 5's forge. Same thing with Sandbox.

    - forerunner pallet
    - Covenant pallet
    - hexagonal / pentagonal shapes
    - more diversity for rocks
    - water physics so we can actually drop in water (how many games do I need to wait for to remake sewers)
    - more set dressing pieces from campaign
    - this list will never end for me...should stop now

    I wonder if a wire can be set to normal physics to make a swinging wrecking ball type deal. That would be pretty cool if it's not already in the game

    That would be cool.

    Also a Sand canvas is definitely on the top of my list for a new canvas.

    Unfortunately, real physics with ropes or wires are not in the current system. ForgeHub will be hosting a lot of community feedback polls in the future. This would be a good topic to include in one of those.

    -More foliage such as a variety of tree's, bushes, and flowers. Most notable, please port over the suburban style trees that can be found on The Battle of Noctus.

    -Primitive blocks with a variety of textures, i.e Block 5x5 Cement, Block 2x4 Cement, Block 1x1 Brick, Block 10x10 Brick, Block 10x5 Wood, Block 3x6 Wood.

    -"Sign's" in which text can be entered. Under 'Advanced Settings' for the object, one could find 'Enter Text', which would bring up the keyboard. 'Bad' words could be filtered out as 'Blam'.

    -Graffiti Font Decals for each letter and number. Imagine a stylized 'G' colored neon green. Dupe it, color it neon orange, and shift it a bit over the green one. Wolla- graffiti.

    AND AN OVER ALL COMPLETELY BLANK SKY BOX CANVAS WITH NOTHING BUT OCEAN:

    Imagine Awash from H2A, but with the beautiful horizon stretching water from Alpine, and NO UGLY GREEN MOUNTAIN RANGE IN THE DISTANCE. A canvas that contains nothing but pure water and sky.

    If you want, you could throw the Sand texture on this canvas underneath the water, and that would give us our sand canvas.

    "But that's not a desert sand canvas! That's an ocean canvas!"
    Yes, you're right, but place down enough of the HUGE terrain pieces up above the ocean and boy it'll sure feel like a dessert. Plus, since there is nothing but sky in this sky box, you won't have to worry about snowy mountains being in the background of your FLAT DESSERT, something that is currently impossible due to the mountain ranges on both Alpine and Glacier, and I wouldn't want my dessert to be floating in outer space.

    A canvas like this would further allow us to design out own sky box for our map rather than incorporate the already in place sky box's on the current canvas's.
