Has any game other than Halo ever had forge mode or custom games system?
Why isn't stuff like this more common?
>>330628601
Far cry had good map editors, in fact the custom made i made, and others I played were far better designed and fun then the average halo ones.
That being said, I had much more fun in custom games in halo 2 and 3.
>>330628601
Custom games in halo were literally the only reason it was so popular. It's a shame 343 forgot this.
Also when people here shit on halo for being a dumbed down fps I feel like they never played enough customs.

the only people that shit on halo are mustards, quake/ut fossils, and cskids.

So salty they didn't get halo 2 until it was too late, and never got 3. Halo: Custom edition was loved on pc.
>>330629142
Don't forget playstation owners, halo was a game changer and they didn't get any of it
>>330629263
Halo:CE was also dead on arrival
Forge was always the superior option
>>330628601
Duke Nukem 3d, released 20 years ago, had Build.exe.
>>330629142
It's funny how long mustards shit on halo, but are now secretly enjoying their halo 3 mod
>>330628601
I feel bad for anyone who didn't get to play this race track back in halo 2

Timesplitters.
Tribes, CS:Source, UT2004, and Warcraft 3 had great custom maps and modes back in the day.

Halo 2 had a forge mode?

Publishers prefer for their games to have a clean end-of-life, so you will buy their next game. There's no value in producing a game that appeals to you for longer than the review accepted 10-50 hours.

Budgeting items for customs games is hard
>>330629956
no, halo 2 had hacks mode. Although you need a modded console to fully enjoy this track. If you thought the halo 3 forge games were fun, you don't know halo 2 mods. Real race tracks, modded weapons, totally new shit and everything else.
This stuff isn't even hard to get still if you can mod an original xbox
>>330628601
>literally games in the last millenia
>>330628601
What made forge so awesome was its accessibility. It was a great, but more importantly, easy to use mod platform.
>>330630430
If I ever make a game I want to have a forge mode.
Even as an Unreal Engine 4 platform anyone with the SDK could make maps for it, but Forge has that "so easy a caveman could do it" aspect nothing else can replicate.

Now you post your favorite custom maps

>a representation of pc owners
i enjoy it, but i also played halo 3 a lot and still have only just installed halo online, not even bothering to play it more than once
>>330631089
>100 people
Oh my, is it really that popular?
Did they get custom games working yet?
>>330631251
yeah apparently, i played one match online and it was fat man infection
i also tested out forge mode and it works pretty well too. dont know about it online
So with Microsoft bringing their Xbone exclusives to PC will we ever see Halo 5 or the MCC on PC?
>>330631439
MCC? It's likely but I don't see it happening.
Halo 5? NEVER EVER
>>330628601
I know Reflex has a realtime level editor that can be edited online. It works really well too but there are no custom games systems in place
>>330628601
Pretty much any pre 2006 shooter worth it's salt.
UT4 and reflex have custom stuff and mod tools but they wont be finished till 2017 at best.

All that's missing is a dumbed down interface.
If you were going to make a spiritual successor to the Halo Trilogy for PC what would you do?
Go specifically after a certain game or try to reach a more refined point between the three?
What weapons and vehicles would you have be in it?
Obviously you should have Forge mode, custom games, theater mode, fileshare, splitscreen, LAN and controller support, because those are obligatory features.
My favorite was Hide and Seek on Hide and Seek Town. When Reach came out, I made an exact replica of the Hide and Seek Town map on day 1 so I could be the guy that made it, only to find out that you couldn't be invisible while moving in Reach. Completely killed my interest in Reach customs right there. I played a few that were decent later on, but Halo 3 was the absolute peak for the series in terms of player-created custom maps.
>>330632306
i would scrap it and use the team to create a spiritual successor totie fighter
>>330632986
With custom games, theater mode, fileshare, splitscreen and LAN though, right?
>>330633254
no not really. i dont actually care about multiplayer enough to want any of that. it would be singleplayer centric
>>330633465
Theater mode would be fun though
>>330633543
in my days we just called it widescreen support
>>330633543
that and everything else would be icing on the cake, i have a vision..
>>330633592
theator mode for halo is basically demos where you can freeroam and change perspectives
What was the best version of Blood Gulch?
>>330634334forgeworld
>>330632306
Just wait for UT4 assault mode and add lower speed and low gravity.
There was a game called Pariah on Xbox, I believe. It had a pretty in depth map creation tool.
Too bad the overall game sucked, but what can you do?
