Get your Slurpee somewhere else. The maps included with Halo 3: Recon certainly support Forge and the functionality it affords players. But, there isn’t a new Campaign Forge being added to the Halo 3 experience.

I actually beleive that they mentioned that as a specific thing that wont happen... Bungie is decieving but they really dont strait up lie. Could it be that this new thing isnt called "Forge"? I personally dont think so but who knows.

i really dont think they will its only an expansion pack. look at the FAQ on bunge.net web site. if there is expanded forge options for halo3:recon it would say on there.

heres the link.

It does say it on there.

Yeah Bungie would never just straight lie, I believe they could get in trouble for that.

Expanded forge options obviously as in new objects. Just like when the Legendary maps came out and they added the filters and such, or the soccer ball and man cannons with the heroic maps. Also when they allowed you to place objects that actually settle so that you map doesn't fall apart during gameplay.

You could also argue that forge will be greatly expanded by the map "Sandbox" which is just gonna be an open 3d plane with many objects meant to interlock together.

hes not asking about things like that. he sed things like .map editing and ai.......

things like adding huge pig trees, adding grass and rivers. not objects like soccer balls and man cannons....

He was asking for any ideas. He named .map modding / ai as two guesses the general public has come up with, to get the conversation rolling, both of which bungie has denounced since the ideas first surfaced.

My post was giving my ideas as to what the "expanded Forge options" would be.

Such as a possible "snap" function where objects will be able to lock into each other, or just objects that interlock better to make forged maps look smoother, especially on "Sand Box" one of six of the new maps that will be coming out.

Hopefully sandbox is completely flat that would be nice they failed to do that on foundry but people still made awesome maps.

Yeah the way they portrayed it in the Edge acceptance video, it looks like a completely flat black plane with intersecting lines to mark distance and perspective for when you are building the map.

It always is a pain to have to deal with the garbage and uneven architecture of Foundry.

The objects/building pieces shown so far from the both the Edge and Gphoria acceptance videos is very promising as they seem to almost interlock together.

dido, i mean that would be awkward as hell
