Absolutely, unbelievable.

In Response To: Lots of great improvements. However... (Gravemind)

: These are some amazing improvements. We finally have more advanced lighting
: systems, a significant increase to the number of items, and some basic
: weather effects. Forge is definitely going to be a lot more flexible than
: in previous iterations. This is the biggest expansion to Forge we've seen
: since to date.

(emphasis mine)

And then you could add a "I can't wait to try it" if you wanted and called it a post.

But....

: But in regards to that "However..." in my post title, Forge still
: has a lot of potential to grow. I think it can benefit from the addition
: of features that already exist on other map editors (e.g., the Far Cry
: series, Project Spark), including:

• A proper terrain editor. Raise
: mountains, carve valleys & rivers, dig caves. Give us a big 500m×500m
: blank square as a Forge canvas.
: • A texture tool. Paint that blank texture-less map to look like grassland,
: arctic, desert sands, etc.
: • A vegetation generation tool. Cover the ground with grass, and groups of
: trees and bushes.
: • A proper time of day/sun angle tool.
: • More advanced weather tools. Not just wind & fog but also snow, rain,
: etc.
: • Actual Covenant architecture pieces in addition to standard human &
: Forerunner pieces.

Friend, what you are asking for is a full fledged goddamn PC game quality map editor.

343 just announced a TON of stuff that people have been begging for (and some things we didn't!) since Forge became a thing in 2007.

And yet, here you are, "Lots of great improvements. However..." posting away.

Jesus Christ, man. Is this not enough, for now?

We haven't even PLAYED the new stuff yet, and you're already writing a critique.

Just....

Fuck me, dude.

We're 3 weeks away from a new Halo game, and there's hardly any posts here, except these kind.

You guys are fucking terrible!

*walks out of room*

: Add these things in Halo 6 and, when combined to all the various other
: improvements made over the years and the generally superior
: user-friendliness of Forge, and you'll have the ultimate map editor.

*Rev shouts in the distance:*

It's a freaking xbox game!
This shit is AMAZING already!
