Title says it all. Express your opinions as to what was bad about older forge versions. This is all in the opinion of the poster and there is no need to argue about anything. Just post your shortcomings with forge here.
-the budget
Putting restrictions on someones creativity is never a good thing. Can you imagine the possibilities if the budget in halo 4 forge was multiplied by 10? People could make masterpiece maps, race tracks, zombie maps and so on. Imagine minecraft but in halo. Now i know this restriction is put in place due to hardware limitations of the 360, but on the xbone the hardware can handle more. And maybe instead of having a difinitive limit, perhaps a notice appearing once you have placed so many items stating that performance may degrade if you continue. Limiting forge with a budget just seems wrong
-removal of older game types
Juggernaut, race and zombies are just a few that i can think of. Rather than removing game modes for others or editing them into something different, give the player the choice. Removing game modes just puts a damper on custom game fun with friends. Also it seems like editable options in the game modes has dwindled.
-Confusing options on some items
When i place a hill marker its obvious i intend to play king of the hill on the map and the settings for the hill item should default to that. But instead i have to tweak and mess with advanced options to make the map even playable with the king of the hill game type
-accidental deletion
Accidently hitting Y on an object that you didnt intend to delete is a real problem. I know you can lock items so the dont delete, but giving the olayer the option of being prompted or not before the items delete would easily fix this small issue.
-vehicle limits
Ever wanted to race 16 warthogs around? Yeah well you cant.
-finicky controls
Using a controller to move and edit a map is clunky and inaccurate. Now i know that 343 has the Edit Coordinates option, but wouldnt keyboard and mouse support in forge be real nice?
