That's the best since Tash.0
Did it ever occur to some of you that making every change to perfectly address your concerns (which are a minority even within the competitive community) might be a little much for Halo 4? We are moving from forge world to 3 distinct forge maps with their own different palletes, a move designed to address concerns that reach forge maps were too gray. Maybe this isn't the perfect solution for some of you but I sincerely believe they are trying to make the best forge possible with the time and resources available. Not to mention 343 had to ship forge out to Certain Affinity to work on it, do you really think they had the time to make all these other changes you have been clamoring for?

There's nothing wrong with talking about how improvements could possibly be made in the future. At the very least I know that I'm loving what h4 has to offer.
Even if most people aren't. LolDemoncarnotaur

New commercial soon. Got to preview it, kind of funny. Also, if I prove how much I love gamer fuel I could win a Halo 4 cooler? The Geoff picture is a tempting submission.
Wha? Haha where did this picture come from? And why does it look so funky?

Not sure if true, but if that is the case wish I saw them instead. I was too drunk to say anything to Bill Gates. I was shocked actually.
are you mocking me or something I can't tell I just thought it was funny that people have explanations for why it's cool for the map editor of one of the highest-budgeted FPS' games ever produced to not include a simple RGB slider that people have requested constantly spanning half of a decade so their maps aren't aesthetic nightmares

i still dont understand why people want a color wheel, we must be thinking of concepts that are galaxies apart because I would never want that
can one of you pro-color wheelers' explain or preferably illustrate what you are looking for

Not sure if serious...
Simple RGB slider you say. Please explain the technical details of this slider? Would you like to be able to just tint the whole object or just particular sections of each object? And it would be great to know if you have any knowledge of the technical side of game development.
I personally don't give a damn about it all and if it was up to me the whole Forge thing would be reverted to the small object editor it was during Halo 3 launch so I wouldn't have to see another blocky turd in matchmaking again, but c'mon, it's not hard to see why forgers would want color flexibility.

So are they not releasing the Halo 4 Mountain Dew everywhere in the states? I have yet to see any.

imagine the stack you will inherit if you hit that slampiece
have to wait for the next major launch of windows then. She not that bad. I guess I could tolerate that.
do you want me to write a dissertation on why FPS maps that feature multiple colors are more playable and are aesthetically more pleasing

Forge would really benefit from something like this per individual piece
Pallet: UNSC, Civilian, Covenant, Forerunner ruin, Forerunner
Color (Primary): Silver, white, grey, green, yellow, black, etc
Color (secondary/highlight): Silver, white, grey, green, yellow, black, etc
Effect (texture on pieces): None, Rust, erosion, moss, dirt, etc
--
Of course some pieces/pallets/effects may be limited depending on what you choose, but you get the idea.

Can you believe this guy? I happen to have a PhD in First Person Shooter Map Editors and I can tell you, as someone who's on the forefront of FPS Map Editor technology that the use of multiple colors is 10, maybe 20 years down the road at the minimum.

What colors a standard fps map has and a user level editor with an RGB slider are two drastically different things good sir.

Holy unrealistic expectations Batman.
CC maps are one thing, that wouldn't be a huge hit on performance or anything(that I'm aware of, at least), but asking for all of that? Not this gen.

I really like HaloGAF alot. This is such a great mix of Halo fans. So many different points of view about the series that create an amazing mix of conversation here. Sure there is alot of meaningless garble here, but in reality all these mixed points of view show how great Halo truly is. Halo appeals to so many in so many different ways, I fuckin love it and this community.
Also, this Keyes terminal is making me cry

Since when is this a thing? Since troll O'Clock?
Reasons that the map editor of one of the largest-budget first person shooters ever made does not allow players to change the color of objects after being requested for years:
- would multiple colors and distinct landmarks and a unique visual identity really improve a map?
- can 2012 technology support it?
how much did ms pr pay you to say that? 5c a word?

no what I want you to do is tell me how you would have a "simple RGB slider" actually work.
because this is what im hearing you say
o hey luk guis, COLOR WHEEL
now assuredly that isnt what you mean, but I dont know how else with the way your wording it

Oh trust me, I know how incredibly unrealistic they are for now. I'm just saying what my ideal wish would be.. and I'm sure a middle-ground could be achieved with that basic concept.

look if you have no intention of actually discussing this then dont bring it up, ray, myself and others responded to you in a serious manner and you just fucking dodge all the questions.
lol yeah I'm dodging and not mocking questions like "how would adjusting an object's color via RGB sliders work?"
GodlyPerfection

I really am curious on how you would implement an RGB slider for static meshes. Would you color swap, tint the whole texture atlas, tint the atlas with a color mask, etc. As someone interested in game/level design I'd love to hear how others would go about adding such a feature. I've devoted a lot of time to considering these features myself so having more views on said subject would be quite valuable.

From the heart, I really do like this community so much. So glad to be a part of it
Also, Halo is awesome, running and gunning through the Library is exhilarating. Me and my bud are having a blast cooping Halo 1 right now dressed in it's classic graphics.

yeah Im done, nobody ever has a good explanation or illustration on how these mythical color wheels would actually work.
BECAUSE THEY WOULDNT
straight-up color swaps would fine
the whole issue is that ANY color contrast is better than none, ANY distinct landmarks are better than none, ANY unique visual identity is better than none
Oh fuck me. The plasma in my room won't turn on... I swear, every time a new Halo game is about to be released, something breaks. With Halo 3 it was my speaker system. With Reach my console red-ringed... and now the plasma isn't working with Halo 4 on its way.
Ehhhh. Less than 10 days to find the money to buy a new one. Faaaaaark

^ That really sucks.. Hopefully you can get a good deal somewhere.
I honestly have no idea why he was so mad and defensive, haha.. Hell, most of people he was fighting with actually enjoyed FUD, including myself. I was just sharing my thoughts and critiques and boom.
