    Where would the location be? Earth? Covenant?
    Forerunner, Halo Ring Inside
    What size map would you have? 2x Foundry? 3x?
    2X Foundry
    What colour scheme would you choose? Dull colours? Bright, bold ones?
    Bright Blues
    Would it use walls and floors, or a death barriers, or a mix of both?
    Walls, Roof and Floor Toggleable with around a Narrows Drop Height
    What kind of scenery would you add? Human? Covenant? Forrunner?
    Toggleable Smog FX, Forerunner Design Walls
    What kind of 'Immovable Objects' would you add? Strange geometrical shapes?
    Spheres, Elevators like in Construct, Items of Both Foundry and Avalanche and also

    Foundry and Avalanche fun items plus Giant Moniters pods that are controllable (We can get in them) and ones with moniters in them. Finally a fully built Forerunner house with bathrooms, bedrooms and kitchen, anything a forerunner house would contain.

    It'd be a HUGE holographic chamber i na forerunner facility. if you've read the books then you knwo that the forerunners can create solid, semi-solid, and just-plain-light holograms. you could put solids or the um...third one in here! and it would be as high as sand trap, and nearly as big!!

    also, you could use any forge item from any map! and some new ones!

    Hmm...

    It wouldn't the three times the size of Foundry, nor would it be double. I'm sure I would make it bigger, but not double the size.

    I would make it outside, with a larger area to work with vertically. Also, it would be pretty much an open field, with no hills or anything but good scenery in the background. Kind of like Standoff.

    I would have a feature kind of like Sim City. You can make terrain. Options would be things like creeks, hills, and certain types of buildings.

    New scenery would be a longer bridge, and things like support beams to hold things up. These would be immovable so they can hold up things as heavy as double boxes.

    It sounds a lot like Halo: Custom Edition, but that's what I would make. Bungie doesn't give all their focus on Forge (for a good reason) so another Foundry type map is possible, but not likely.

    Where would the location be? Earth? Covenant?
    EARTH- On a huge plain like the map on Gary's Mod
    What size map would you have?
    Probably about 3x foundry
    What colour scheme would you choose? Dull colours? Bright, bold ones?
    The map is mostly just green grass and blue sky, but the items would have earthy tones, but not as drab as the foundry tones
    Would it use walls and floors, or a death barriers, or a mix of both?
    Death Barriers after you go so far, or maybe just a big drop like on standoff
    What kind of scenery would you add? Human? Covenant? Forrunner?
    Not really any scenery at all, except maybe some tanks or cars in the places you can't get to
    What kind of 'Immovable Objects' would you add? Strange geometrical shapes?
    I would have all shapes: pyramids, prisms with customizable sides, cones, cylinders, spheres etc.-you can pick the color, also some objects like foundry boxes, fence walls, barriers, shield doors etc.
    What kind of 'Movable Objects' would you add? Barrels and Boxes?
    Barrels and boxes with a different color scheme, new grav lifts that either act normally- just push you a bit- or shoot you like a vertical mancannon =P
    What kind of 'Fun Objects' would you add? Football? Shield Blockers?
    weight activated catapults (you stand on them and they shoot)
    What would your budget and item limit be?
    BUDGET- Around $1000
    ITEM LIMIT- None, only budget is limit =P

    In response to Kayaman:
    I realize some things aren't possible, but there are so many design programs that do things like terrain editing. If you have ever seen the program Google Sketchup, perhaps Bungie could take inspiration from that to make their next game's forge thing. -masterjelly

    I'd make it inside the Flood-infested High Charity. We need Flood-infected scenery to forge with.

    I would like the normal foundry, except there's is a choice you make before you enter forge. You can forge with the money (IE unlimited money glitch) or you could forge with objects. And bungie had a set about of objects in general you could use. Meaning you could use as much of one, two, three, etc. objects you want. But once you hit the limit. No more.

    What I would love is for it to be as large as possible, and include a lot more building block type immovable objects, such as boxes, ramps, wedges, and also larger things like a massive round hill that could be placed, or a pyramid. The aesthetics of the map are much less important than the potential for customization.

    Tripple the size, perfectly square, a floor you could turn on or off for a death drop, Every single placeable object in the game (there is some cool stuff in campaign that we don't have in multiplayer) and Quadrple the max ammount of each item.

    And switchable map skins. Would work like the vid affects from the legendary map pack, except we can set the area of affect and instead of afecting the lighting, it would change the map walls and the immovable items (walls, boxes, ect ect) to be either Human, Covanent or Forerunner.
