I actually really miss Sandbox's environment and pallet. It's weird to think that map had more object variety than any version of Forge since. You got a bunch of rocky forerunner walls, tunnels, and slabs, which all looked unique but still fit together cohesively, gold pillars with nice looking team colors, and wooden scaffolding and planks that could make areas look pretty unique. Everything since has just been gray with gray windows (replace gray with white or brown for Ravine/Erosion) and small, dim lights.
And that one map was nothing but three types of flat building areas. Sandbox had those big rolling sand dunes, but they weren't the main part of the map, they were secondary to the big, flat floor in the center, as they should have been. These days we're lucky to get one even floor to forge on, let alone three.
Seriously, I've never had as much fun with Forge as I had on Sandbox. In H4 I have just about no motivation to build anything at all. The maps just don't have anything I'm interested in working with.
Forge environments seem like a lose-lose for developers... people bitched about both Foundry and Sandbox as being too plain, no reality. So Reach came out with a whole variety of environments... but only one spot had completely flat surfaces, and it had a roof, too.
And things got even MORE complex with Halo 4.
Make it simple, people bitch that they want variety.
Provide variety, and people bitch that they need simplicity.
Not sure how to solve this, without bigger (but simple, graphically) setpieces.

Wu is Robert's dad confirmed. Pass it on
Can I ask, where do people get buttloads of codes from?
Adding huge flat objects with several kinds of natural textures on it would go a long way. Or just a create a map like Forge World with both big flat, open areas and areas with more natural looking terrain.Forge environments seem like a lose-lose for developers... people bitched about both Foundry and Sandbox as being too plain, no reality.

First, someone would have to figure out how to autograph a monocle.
BUT THEN WHO WOULDN'T WANT ONE?

I think the covenant need to go into hiatus for Halo 5.
Every Halo game has them, so why not introduce new promethean class (non-enemy/enemy) and bring back the flood instead?
Add Didact (non-villian), introduce Librarian (non-ancilla), & Monitor 343GS (CHAKAS).
Add villains: Master Builder. Gravemind.

I love the snow, but like Napsta mentioned it sucks when you have to go to work. Fortunately I am off today, so I can try to unbury my mailbox.
Yes, there's a mailbox under there :/

I've mentioned it before, but I'm not sure I trust 343 to replace the magic the Covenant provide, using their first iteration of the Prometheans as a benchmark. The high points of the Halo 4 campaign were fighting the Covenant, and even then their AI was noticeably less advanced to prior games.

I Agree. Reach Covenant A.I. were considerably better.
IF 343 brings the Prometheans back. It would be better to have the Warrior Servants over the Defensive A.I.
Adding a lot of mystery/dialogue to the Forerunners warrior cast instead of Mechanical Aggressive Beasts.
.
Perfect response, or worst possible response?

BUT ANCIENT EVIL
Character was a massively wasted opportunity.
Been a little while... but it's been done.
lol amazing file name.
-------------------------------
My concern for the future of Halo doesn't really lie with stuff like AA's, yes I would prefer Halo CE as the next Halo, but I know that's not going to happen. The major concern is stuff like Global Ordnance. I understand the idea behind wanting to change the way weapons spawned in Halo, but the solution they came up with was utterly terrible, and has significant damning effects on the gameplay as a whole.
The simple fact that the 343 design team felt good about that system is very concerning.

It is actually a really bad winter so far. Here is a picture from 2 years ago, same time period. Replaced my little momma with a snow man lol. Last snow pic for today, I <3 snow!
I can't tell if that's a compliment or an insult.
Assume the worst.
Nice cat btw.
I wished it snowed here around Christmas. But noooooooooo, it has to be summer D:
Merry Christmas GAF.
Your mother is all I have to say to that good sir.
Well I'd prefer having you as a dad rather than my actual one.

Simple. Give us a little from column A and B. Give us some complex spaces while giving us some simple open spaces too. Everyone wins that way.

MUNCHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! LIGHT THAT MAN! As for the bolded, let's hope so. If they changed bloom in Reach, I don't see why they wouldn't be able to change a lot of the issues with this game.
I'm insulted by this Talents.
Insulted.
Ship it.

Always has but doesn't always use it. Also has a mic; very interesting to hear him speak, really eloquent most of the time.
