I nominate the entire Swords of Sanghelios mission.

And the city assets from Sunaion. Some of the plants from Genesis could be cool too. A skybox for Paralax that's basically the setting of Sunaion, with a cloudy sky and water as far as you can see would be absolutely incredible. Bonus points if we can forge in the water.

Dead Covies could be great, too. Grunts, Jackals, Eli... I only just realized that there's only 4 different Covie units in this game... Man, we need the Brutes back bad.

Edit: Okay, this isn't an existing asset, but I'd imagine it wouldn't be too terribly difficult. Since we're getting what seems to be brick textures (and possibly others) for blocks in this next update, it'd be cool to have irregular blocks, with corners broken off or cracks down the middle. Cool things like that.

Found On: Sangehelios and Genesis
Options: Different sizes and lengths, color selection




Flat Shale Rocks
Found On: Sangehelios and Genesis
Options: Flat "block like" pieces that are different sizes, but thicker than the current array of flat rocks. So at least about 4' height. We can use the different sizes to layer them on top for the natural look, but prefab pieces with multiple layers already (similar to the Rock Columns) can be included as well.

Honestly when I'm working on my Sunaion themed map (shameless plug) I am constantly cursing the lack of covenant shields, generators, turrets that players cant use but are purely aesthetic. I would think that since the campaign had so many ****ing break able doors that we as players could have the same features.
List:
breakable doors like campaign

Covenant Turrent

covenant cargo

covenant decals
curved staircases

Covenant fusion coils that do not explode
small blue fire
the orange sinking fog from "The Battle of Sunaion" mission seen in a lot of the pillars around the mission

Sunaion has a crazy amount of potential as a cool MP destination but also as a forge kit, mostly modular, bunch of large cylinder pieces outside, interiors made of small wall segments with pillars repeated on seams.


Round floor pictured above could be cut as outlined with magnets snapped to corner verts.


Window wall cut in half as block, pillar on seam to flat wall piece. Also floor can be sliced up into block surface.


Chief cryo pod window walls with pillars once again on the seams.


These divider walls can be broken down into some pillars, wall pieces, wall with door cutout, and top trim piece.


Overlapping slightly offset large cylinders, some with stairs, form the bulk of the exterior.

Speaking of rocks, I'd love to have a sort of middle ground between the flats and chunks. Something possibly around 8' thick, mostly flat or flat on one side so they could be used for floors, and a texture similar to the sides of the 46x44x32 chunks, so they could be used as cave ceilings. Right now the variety we have is nice, but fairly limiting.

Some thinner, smoother rock pillars would go a long way, too.

Edit: Forgot this about existing assets. So those tanks in that room with the Hunters in the Blue Team mission (the ones with the dead Jackals) would be a nice addition.

Also I posted this the last time but I'm foaming at the mouth for these trees and branches with color options. Taken from Halo 4's Abandon and and H2A's Warlord.





I'll throw in the Destiny one too because why not



WE NEED BULKIER AND PRETTIER TREES. This is pretty much the bulkiest a tree can get without looking bad or sapping framerate



Alternatively, a dead log variant of the current Acacia tree without any leaves would go A VERY LONG WAY to allowing us to create unique trees.

I'm getting a tad bit excited for this

This is pure gold 343 plz listen

I imagine actual geometry is not as easily ported over to Forge.

It's never easy.

Life never is.

Multiplayer Map: PLAZA
Modular Building Assets: Urban Theme

All over plaza there are base wall trims, corners and storefronts which would make ideal blocks and already have small bevels at the points where they would best be extracted.


Another angle to better see the corner piece.


At the bottom you can see rounded wall trim end cap pieces sandwiching a strorefront piece.
Also the plaza clamber ledge cut into corner and straight pieces. The top mid catwalk blocks. Bunch of other stuff.


Background buildings in close proximity to playspace on plaza would work well when split into floors as large blocks.


The pillar of plaza, this thing is everywhere, would be much cooler than something like a basic 1x4.


Closer look at top of top mid catwalk pieces.


Only scratching the surface with this post and it's way longer than planned. I could talk about and point out examples for days. How about some road pieces (ODST was mostly modular)


Maybe this style of block with some nice concrete and clean metal trim.


Maybe some baby pillars, stairs, concrete stair trim, small block using the wall trim texture.


Block from each floor of centred building pot plants and benches.

SO. MUCH. SUNAION.

This is an awesome thread.

I just want more basic versions of pieces. No round ends, no indented strips - just edgy-cornered, basic pieces. Also Covenant Crates and Plasma Shields, those would be nice for already made assets (no point in including an image, we should all know what a Covenant Crate and Plasma Shield should look like by now, lol).


P.S. - Waterfalls would also be pretty sweet (+1 to Goat for reminding me)
