~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
UPDATE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now I'm not pointing any fingers here saying who's right or wrong, but I found this topic on Bnet, very detailed, with real life pictures, one pic showed a walmart shipment sheet with a product named halo:blue coming in september, I think I'll see if I can find a topic link!

OK it took me like an hour to find this, it's close enough to what I saw soo... enjoy!
Halo “Blue” Coming to 360 September 30th


~UPDATE~


From the bungie weekly update

"There will be no insertion of Campaign objects, enemies or friendlies via the Forge as folks have speculated. There will be no “bots” added to the game. The “set” on Rat’s Nest was designed to appear like a backlot of a film set, a holding area, not some depiction of a brand-new feature that implements Campaign objects into multiplayer. Do consider this issue a closed one. Calm yourselves down, pump the brakes, and take a breath.

We’ve of course heard the gums flapping on the Internet that Bungie is making more Halo stuff. We’ve never said that we’re finished with Halo 3; in the Edge acceptance video, we confirmed that the ride isn’t over. Ever since our independence last year and taking control of our destiny, we've been pretty open about the fact that we have three distinct projects underway within Bungie and they aren't all Halo related."

hmmmm. you know... hmmmm, what i think is... well this is just weird. all i can say is that this is very weird. is this some sort of help to the modding comunity or is this just some random thing you put up???

[miinaturvat]

lol.

So bungie like to mod maps too?

Are they just trying to be better modders than us by doing .map modding?

[dargie1.inc]

i guess bungie is taunting us. but in 10000 years we will show them, yes my grunt army will run them down, with their snipers of doom

[deadcanadian]

cant wait to see the final product or if its real

[Jay]

You guys do realize this IS NOT modding. They have a little program called sapien that lets them place AI in maps. Since it's their proprietary tools and everything, they can do whatever they want.

Might want to framiliarize yourself with the Halo SDK before spewing out bull**** like OMG bungie is modding their own game.

[dargie1.inc]

ok i watched the videos a few more times, i find it weird that bungie would mod their own map. or for that matter show a new map without it being finished, i just find it weird

[walapu]

THEY ARENT MODDING

[WR MaFiA]

nonono the arent modding. that is their new patch that they were going to release awhile ago, but Microsoft said no, so they are delaying it. it's basically an update to forge, letting you make your own maps...seriously YOUR OWN.

wich might make Modding useless..see bungie does think ahead, BUT it might open up more possibilities for the modding communities.

[walapu]

I CANT WAIT FOR THIS UPDATE. I think that it will be a massive update. I think it will work a little like this. There will be another .map file that you download from the market place. It will include another forge pallet in it so the objects show up. Then it will update all your usermaps to refer to the new universal .map file and the original .map file. So that way they dont have to have you re download all your .map files for a knew objects in all the maps. So when they are adding new items they just release an update and it updates the .map file you got on the market place. Boom new objects in all the maps. Also they will check for mods. All mods will be removed and any knew ones that are discovered are automatically deleted.

This is a guess

[.Perfection]

that vid is cool. nice post :)

[snowshredder34]

Seriously. Forging our own .maps. Sweet. to bad we can't do anything that was in the video with modding.

Hmm, I must have missed this when Bungie announced it...

[Unit N8]

... w00t. I seriously cannot wait for this update. This is way better than an open Foundry.

[pepsiflame]

Although an open foundry like they are talking would be fun. It's more likely than a massive "mod" update

Bungie in no way said they were going to add any AI to Halo 3 multiplayer. Nowhere.

Anybody think this is just their way of saying goodbye to all of those species?

[Deception42long]

wow, when bungie said big things are coming with the latest update, I didn't even think something like this might be a possibility. too excited and curious!

[Xpargas]

I think they are just showing off with AI, idk about the last thing i could be wrong but i dont think there is going to be a map creator/editor, its probley just part of a new map.

Did anyone notice he was wareing mark IV at the end, whats up with that?

[ajpsk8]

Well i hoping for this forge update that might have been shown in the last map, heres what i'm thinking.

This is a blank map. a 100% blank, empty .map file. When you forge it, there are objects like hallway, open, corner, barrier, sky, ground

[Eazy B]

looks cool and all,but Bungie was probably just having fun with their own tools. That thing at the end looked like some kind of thing from their next game. And guys, this doesnt have to be AI, it could be scripted.... Bungie has all the tools required to do any of this stuff either way.
