But you probably don't Forge. There's a lot of us that do and certainly love when improvements are made (and there definitely are some in 4), but like others mentioned, they could've added a few small things that would reaaally go a long way. These things would help us help them.

feel free to steal my text list of all loadout items if that helps, also if you want in-game descriptions that video from earlier would help and Flatulator's google doc has the rest I think

I could make some more low-key graphics like that Armor Mods one if it would help?
im with you, Im very happy with what we will have
I didnt (and I dont know why some did) expect a complete line by line overhaul of forge in Halo 4, I expected more user friendly options, more consistent geometry in the pieces, better thought-out suite of objects, and stable frame rate
it looks like we will get 3/4, and Im okay with that.
Halo 5, let yalls mind run wild.
But for now, Im happy

538 is the number of electoral college votes. cpk -> pick? As in vote?
That's all I've got lol
I think you missed the point. Nobody is asking for complex skyboxes and elaborate environments. Halo 4 being a mess has nothing to do with hardware power; if anything people want even more basic environments for Forge.
Not at all. You're happy it exists as is since we're fortunate enough it wasn't cut like other features were to make room for new features. I'm with you, but people are obviously going to not feel the same way if something they love and enjoy didn't get the same treatment as features you may love and enjoy.
All I'm saying is, I didn't think you were a Forger (am I wrong? I may be) so you aren't going to react as passionately to forge additions or cuts as those who spend a lot of time with it.

the most interesting facet of this new glyph is the 4 dots instead of 1, thats a huge difference
time will tell I suppose
They could've done a lot more with Forge without turning it into a full-on map creator you know.
-Add a performance meter
-Allow us to change the color of big chunks of objects
-Give people the option to create a custom map picture for in the menu (Rumored to be in Halo 4 but the fact that it hasn't been mentioned by any leaker suggests that it's not in)
-Add invisible barriers
-Make a map that is actually flat and has several types of terrain
-If not that add big flat objects with a variety of terrain types
-Make it so all objects actually fit together well size-wise, I don't ever want to see a ramp that has a width of 2.4 units long
-A more unified and consistent aesthetical look throughout all objects. This only works if you can change the colors of objects, otherwise every map will look alike (This seems to be the case with Halo 4 Forge)
-Allow forger to control the trajectory of mancannons
-Remove the goddamn category object limit
-Add more natural objects, especially vegetation.
-Fuck glass
That's what I could come up with in a short period of time, I'm probably forgetting a bunch of stuff but this is the gist of it. 343 and CA could push Forge far beyond what it is right now without making it much more taxing on the 360, it just seems like they don't think it's much of a priority.

^ Agreed.
Decent Bulletin. Vortex looks fun and the map pack still looks decent. Hopefully some of the areas don't feel as repetitive compared to other maps as they sound. Forge still looks disappointing.

Where is all this even coming from? The latest bulletin? I wonder what this will end up unlocking in the terminal.. Seems weird doing this so close to release.

It's in pixels per centimeter? That's the problem right there
The game isnt that bad. You are butthurt about something and will just blame it on the game, rather then you.

Had some great games with Nazgul and Homeboy earlier.
Absolutely no excuse for the bolded not making it in. Everything else was disappointing, but sort of expected.
Hahahahaha you're a fool.

Perfect. The performance meter/FPS counter, whatever you want to call it would be such a welcome addition. You wouldn't need budgets, you'd just understand that your maps shouldn't drop the frame rate below 30.

Indeed. I still enjoy myself playing from time to time. I don't have enough gaffers on my list:

The game really is a mess, I tried playing it yesterday and couldn't handle it for any more than one game.

Mostly, I want are pieces that make sense
1 World Unit blocks, 1/2 WU blocks, and dimensions that make sense
I will say I find it appalling they didnt fill in the gaps of missing building blocks that should exist
2x2 box. seriously, would that have been that fucking difficult?
Also, whoever thinks the Thruster is more useful than Promethean Vision is bad at Halo.
Also, why would you not want people to change colors of objects? I'm not talking bright red and blue or only or anything. Just a color wheel or whatever. That way you can add some subtle color to maps.
Where mah 4x1?

no dude
the game is pretty bad
Might not be more useful, but it's sure as fuck more fun
Reach, multiplayer wise, is a bad game. IMO, of course. I think a lot of people still have fun with it from time to time, but that shit gets irritating and too random to put up with.

Its great that we see videos and have all these OHI from people working on the game but where are the interviews with CA?
When do they have to talk in detail about Forge and what the hell do they say when someone asks them
"How did you improve the object selection from Halo Reach Forge?"
I just dont understand how that could be implemented nicely, I feel like you would just end up with rainbow maps all over the place
It would hinder creating a cohesive pallet when each piece can be changed independently
Eh, just wait for the next game. No point in releasing new Forge upgraded environs as it being DLC will always have a lower adoption rate than it being available with everyone's disc. Good thing they've never released a modern Halo without the base Forge map present and usable.
.. on the other hand, I thought it interesting that 343 has to take a pic of Cortana in-game for Halo 1 just like everyone else, instead of just showing the model by itself like H2 and H3 Cortana.
edit: I wonder how big the Reach Super Jackpot is.

so super jackpot in reach until halo 4 ... not enough of a reason to play reach

Is straight-up hating on the previous Halo game part of the Halo cycle?
Just sent an invite. GT: nzapster
sorry, but reach is bad.
and I don't have to blame it on me that jetpack is in the game,it has the worst Halo maps by far, the game is slow and the grenades are fucking nukes.
The only thing I can blame on me is that I play this mess

Felt like the hate was egging me on, but as much as I prefer Reach- screw it, I'm not going to touch it once 4 comes out.

Each new Halo is worse than its' predecessor.
The Anniversary Maps had a bunch of Forge World pieces in them, so they were mostly Forgeable. None of CA's maps had One Way Shield Doors though, which impacted the ability to carve Invasion variants out of them. Still pissed I couldn't get the Breakneck Invasion variant done before the Reach MM update door closed.
Also Ridgeline had two problems:
1) it started discoing after like, 5 objects were placed
2) You had to work off the Timberland variant instead of Ridgeline, because the side-huts on Ridgeline used the health-pack holders for the health packs.. which you couldn't delete.

Probably most here won't, but it just seems like fewer people are hedging around "Reach fucking sucks" than others.
For the record I've enjoyed Reach since release. Bungie made some DUMB choices, but I've had fun. Maybe I'm a BK to HaloGAF though.
EDIT: Didn't think it wise to post my service record.
I don't know but you have my attention.

I don't see how this is possible with Halo 4.
If we didn't know you were from Bnet already, we'd know now.
So you are admitting to being a scrub.
I have the same mentality sometimes.They are definitely not as offensive, I think I will a happy man as well. AA's were never a huge deal for me in Reach compared to others like melee; some are just annoying; Camo returning instead of placeable powerups is a kick in the balls, for instance. =/

If I had my way, I'd remove AA's altogether. Halo 2/3 halo is best halo(s).

the only thing that brought me back to reach was the tournament. other than that, ive rarely played it
I wasn't saying that Reach will be better than Halo 4. Halo has been following this tread since the release of Halo 2; each new game is worse. I don't know if any of you guys played Halo 2 pre-patch, but it was just plain awful. 6 shot BR with worse spread than Halo 3's BR, 6 beat downs to kill people, plasma grenades that dealt almost no damage at all. The list goes on and on, the patch saved that game.
I really do hope Halo 4 breaks the tread of worse Halo games being released. You have to realize though, Reach set the bar so low you almost have to deliberately try to make a worse game.
