Would be nice but they asked that specifically because they will be extracting items directly from the Campaign and re-purposing them for Forge.
I envision Tom French strolling through the Campaign with a giant shopping cart.

Forgive my ignorance, but what's the point in a Covenant palette? Isn't their aesthetic defined entirely by their plasmite metals?
Mostly, but forge pieces and props with the Covenant theme have been requested for quite some time now. While we don't know how far the forge team is going with this, it would be neat to be able to create convincing Covie structures with relative ease.

Having portable shields, covenant crates, and barriers would be a huge plus for making classic or classic-inspired maps too.

Quick questions again: Can you make invisible switches despawn after you use them? Can you send a message to make duplicates of the same switch also despawn? My attempts at doing these have failed so far.
Go look at Deadlock. The switches there move into the walls after being pressed. Despawning and/or respawning is NOT recomended for switches.

That's one of the coolest and prettiest minigames I've seen.
Do you guys like Animal Crossing? I made a nostalgic Infection map of a ruined town.

okay, now for my near final request
take water world, but apply an infinitely flat floor on top of it.
maybe some crummy mountains in the distance, but lets get the giganto flat open spaces we deserve.
soap box:
I just dont think we should have to 'pay' for a flat floor to our maps.
it could even be the way we change skyboxes now, but it changes the ground texture
ground: grass -> snow -> sand -> concrete

This is awesome, I'm particularly excited about the new natural terrain. My Halo 2 Uprising themed map will look much better when I replace the bland grey asteroid terrain with that new sexy looking terrain

A Zanzibar remake would be awesome on that pallet, wish they'd add the wheel as something you could place.

You could build and animate the windmill pretty easily, I feel?

All re-makes have a static windmill from what I've seen. I think doing scripting on a rotating object is too difficult.
Look at the trains on the Terminal remakes, they go in a straight line, they couldn't get them to turn.

Cold Snap started life as a symmetrical 2 v 2 map for the Forgehub Double Team competition, which ended up being called Cavern.
Unfortunately, in my opinion the design was pretty flawed (why I chose to emulate the gold lift from Construct I'll never know) leading to teams camping the lift room and to somewhat stale gameplay.
3 Legged Goat (Also known as Twilight Gap) took a look and made a bunch of suggestions, which now leads to this version. I did kinda give up on it for a little while, but I think it was worth trying to salvage.
Anyway - Cold Snap is a symmetrical map capable of supporting 4 v 4 gameplay (it may now be a little large for 2's). The map is set in an ancient temple like structure buried in a glacier.
It hosts the following weapon set up and supports ALL core gamemodes.
1 x Plasma Caster
1 x Rocket Launcher
1 x Overshield
1 x Scattershot
2 x Light Rifle
2 x Battle Rifle (H5)
2 x Plasma Pistol
2 x Carbine
2 x Plasma Grenades
2 x Splinter Grenades
The weapon set, placement and layout is all up for discussion/change. I'm pretty fond of the layout, although if glaring issues make themselves apparent, I will of course be open and willing to make as many changes as necessary.
Any feedback would be most appreciated!

I built a basic environment in UE4 tonight and it's amazing how 1:1 most of the dev tools in here are with H5G Forge's toolset. You really have to commend how much work they put into the whole system.

Hey 343- Can we PLEASE have a playlist dedicated to playing peoples' user made maps? That would be amazing. Kinda sucks to to spend a lot of time making something only to not be able to share it widely.

Is the Sangheli what I knew as "Scar"? Geometry looks sweet. (They all look good, fancy finishing one?)

Hey Sik, I checked out Cold Snap 1.0. My first thought on it is that the glass is deceiving. Other possible issues are not being able to pick up the OS and adjust the static camera perhaps.
Sikamikanico
#1 Dad
Thanks for taking a peek - I've checked the OS, can pick it up okay? What issue did you have?
Ryouji Gunblade
Member
I was using the FFA Slayer gametype in customs. Something was stopping us from picking it up. I usually have that problem if I phase it into the floor or something.

Interesting. I shall investigate further.
I'm focusing more on Cavern right now, but I'll get back to Cold Snap eventually!
Is there any reason to believe the water acts any differently than on the maps were currently have?

The race to Relic begins?
I think I have the entire center structure built on a random save file
(inb4 lurkers start going through all my files)
I did it just for fun, I have the dimensions pretty down pat, been templating it since reach.

Hopefully prefabs are included in this update. Also, this would be a good time to think about remaking some of the 'sandy' Halo 4v4 maps from previous games. Just sayin'.

I didn't even think about Relic. I'd like to see No god anywhere take a crack at it.

pt1. Would kill for prefabs, but I expect them to come with PC this fall at this point.
More curious about giant pig, starting to worry its just literally a giant pig.
pt2.
Nilla: we can make Relic now, I even have one pretty well along, been doing it a long time
Moose: yeah I hope someone good tries it
