I was just being bored. Thank you though.

Maybe not in Forge, but it might be neat if they had a thing like Gears where it told you when a weapon/powerup was picked up. It could be turned on and off obviously, and matchmaking wouldn't have the feature enabled. But, it'd make for different strategies.

Instead, there should be a weapon timer. It should be like "Sniper spawns in 20 seconds" or whatever when the power weapons / items are about to respawn.

how about we are just given a developers kit and we make our own game then we can have the game the way we want it. some of u ppl ask for way to much, like Hitzel_89.

I'm not gonna lie though, I'd go to town if I had a dev kit to make my own version of Halo 3.

[Hitzel_89]

Can I say I called some of this stuff?

Important ones are bolded:

Forge will allow players to customize multiplayer maps, changing and resetting spawn points, weapon spawns, weapon timers, vehicle spawns and timers, vehicle spawn points, and add existing geometry to the map’s existing structure in the form of crates, boxes, fusion coils, lifts, teleporters and more.

[ALIENwolve]

No, you can't say you called them because we all expected them. I did not expect lifts, though.

[Linty]

haha

Confirmed functions for Forge (account for about half of the features)


The Forge
Halo 3's Forge is a mode that allows for both play and design to co-exist and cooperate. A multiplayer focused tool, Forge will allow players to customize multiplayer maps, changing and resetting spawn points, weapon spawns, weapon timers, vehicle spawns and timers, vehicle spawn points, and add existing geometry to the map's existing structure in the form of crates, boxes, fusion coils, lifts, teleporters and more. The amount of items you can drop is regulated by an economy budget system, with different items having different values and each map having an overall Budget that the items you place cannot exceed. By deleting existing things off of a given map, you can actually place more things. Players can modify and create their versions of maps, save them and share them with their friends, but that’s only half or so of what Forge allows.
In addition to functioning as creation-driven tool, Forge is also a playspace. Up to eight players can be on a given map at a time, shifting back and forth between their chosen multiplayer model and the Forge model - a Monitor. Players can play actual games in Forge, goof around, kill each other, play Slayer where each team designates a Monitor to supply weapons, vehicles, equipment and cover on the fly.
