The Halopedia forging article lacks Halopedian standards and is in a mess. Can some people help clean it up? Cl34n m3 pl0x
Btw, but this might be in the wrong section. Anyways, that's actually a great idea, I remember back when I got hooked on to Halo, I'd always spend hours reading their articles, I think its time I also helpped the community back. We could first implement all of the Forging 101 into there, and maybe some step-by-step tutorial guides with pictures for things like interlocking or geomerging. Then add in some structures from here. Also add in a list of forged maps that are currently/were in Matchmaking, and preferably links to Bungie for download. And last of all, don't know what the Halopedia's community will think of it, but maybe we could introduce Conquest?
If there is a splaser in the middle of the map, you don't say 'There's a spartan laser in the middle of the map.' You say 'There's a Weapon/Anti-Vehicle Model 6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle in the middle of the map.' If you put EVERYTHING into ONE ARTICLE, it will be the longest article in Halopedia.
Yes, I totally agree, it is quite messy right now, it seems like it kind of has to be re-written or at least rearranged, since now it all is from before Halo 3 came out and later it was edited. I suggest first an explanation about forge, telling what it is, including that bungie didn't thought that forge would be such a big thing, and also including the physics of forge/ restrictions of forge/ pitfalls of forge (OLN, budget, item limit, first round on forge, etc.). Then I suggest something like all the options of all the objects, like spawn at start, respawn rate and of course minimum on map (`you could use this option to 'force spawn' an object`). We could explain the difference between movable objects and immovable objects, and the possibilities of immovable objects, like making floating bases, floating turrets, blocking off doorways. Also a list of immovable objects on the pre-dlc maps would be great We also have to include an '1337 Forgin' section (but probably at the end or something), explaning the stupidness of grenades getting stuck and therefore the neccesarity of interlocking and geomerging. There will also be an explanation about interlocking and geomerging. Or something like that. Maybe the 'cuul things u can try' section could be a seperate page, that would clean the post up. also, the filter section kind of seems out of place.
