The map editor is called forge. It only has the option to move stuff around (like in entity's BSP viewer) and spawn more objects. You can have multiple people working on the map at the same time and you can play it while people are working on it.

How would that work? It surely would not allow you to edit maps on your computer. And the games I have played with map editors are not good. The map editors are always terrible when they are in game. But heh, maybe Bungie will impress.

Edit, you posted barely before me

Forge as in the same one in one of their games, umm... one of the old ones, the name doesn't come to me at the moment. EDIT: Found it!

Now remembering Marathon there was a map editor ands its name was Forge

FORGE Details
_____________________________________
The following was pulled from a digg post because it's more organized than what I could type up.
I also have a wrapped up version of the EGM magazine info on my site,

>Map editor (you're not making your own maps though)
> Does not support geometry creation, or texture modification
> Allows you to remove and place any items or vehicles or spawn points or objectives, etc... anywhere on the existing maps
> For things like weapons you can tweak their respawn timer and ammo count and other minor things
> You can have multiple people work in the Forge editor over Xbox Live!
> You can also dynamically switch from creation mode to playing mode and run around in the game.
> If you are "playing" in Forge and have other players in it, they can still change things! For instance, if you have a friend making a pyramid of fusion cores, you can return to "play" mode and lob a grenade in to destroy all his work!
> Make your own kind of games in forge. Bungie gives the example of grab the mongoose. One player rides a mongoose while everyone else tries to grab it out from under him by removing it in Forge! Another is like a magic carpet ride where one player will stand on a object and a forge monitor will drag it along making the player ride it through the air.
> Finally Bungie talked about how you can kind of make it into a real-time strategy game (RTS) where you set up "teams" where each team has a monitor creating items for his team to use.

sounds great.

This thread is not about Forge.

Also, we don't need entire discussions devoted to leaked features, so don't go make a thread for it. If it comes up in discussion, fine.

I'm surprised you left what little you did.

Looks great. MC reminds me of Halo 1 a bit.

Microsoft and Bungie announced it at a conference in Amsterdam and someone translated it on NeoGAF. Then LukeSmith commented saying "Believe". Then later on he added the post I forwarded you guys to

Oh and Famitsu had a Halo 3 special in their magazine and there were some scans, but they put Direct Feed screens on their website.

Look at the HUD for the second picture with the Mauler. (?) ^^
Does anyone else recognize that? Top right corner, weapon image.

Yeah, it'd have been nice to link that. Luke saying "Believe" out of context is useless. You should have just linked the thread, not his post.

Mauler.

It's an Assault Rifle. What about it?

NO the one above it. not his secondary weapon. the one he is wielding as primary.

... That would mean he's saying "He's holding the Mauler, but I can't tell what the HUD is for the weapon he's holding." That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. He knows it's the Mauler, why would he be asking what the primary weapon HUD is showing?

Xiion · Post by **Xiion** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 11:32 am

in the second picture. ok. the fp view of the weapon the player is wielding looks new.

Mauler.

Xiion · Post by **Xiion** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 11:33 am

never seen it before.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 11:33 am

Because it hasn't been shown officially before.

Why did you act as though you didn't know what the weapon was called, despite it being said like 5 times?

Xiion · Post by **Xiion** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 11:36 am

cos i thought the mauler was a hammer.
