okay, seems I'm not the best forger in Halo 3.

I just made a map in Sandtrap where I got rid of everything on the map, placed all the spawn points only at the far ends and the only weapons available were banshee's and hornets. The idea was to make a large area, four person air battle. This sucked pretty bad. The vehicles couldn't respawn fast enough. So if you were shot down, by the time you could get another vehicle, you opponent was ready and waiting to shoot you on take off.

are there some alterations to this that could make this work? Looking for ideas here. Just if you could mention what's been good for forging for you and what to avoid, this would be a good thread to watch for the next few days as I'm gonna give the old forge a good going over this weekend. Maybe you too?

This has become the General Forge Thread, it's no longer necessary to reply to the first post, it was two months ago -BB

Add more vehicles? Is there a max on the map? Because if there's not, just leave a whole arsenal of 'em at the spawn point. The game idea is good, just gotta even it up a bit.

I would say maybe have people spawn with spartan lasers just so they have some way to defend the unmanned craft.

umm if you hit X over a placed vehicle you should be able to toggle the respawn down to i think 10 seconds is the shortest. but even so there is only so many that is allowed on the map at a time.

To make them respawn as soon as they're destroyed, go through the Forge menu and hit X on them.

Set the Minimum Number On Map to the number you have placed.

This can also be used when you put huge piles of explosives into small rooms to make a perpetual explosion.

You could put a Spartan laser at the spawn points, that way they could shoot them down, and they'd have enough time to get into a vehicle, and set the vehicle respawn time to 10 seconds

hmmmm
Galim is right
just press X and drop it to like 20 seconds
although that whole aircraft only idea does seem ok
but maybe there should be shop weapons in case you're stuck on foot running for your life

so far all I forged was a weapon shop



its my W.I.P



(plus the security sucks)

You could alter the player speed to 300% and give them a running chance, too...

set the spawn for the vehicles to 10 seconds. that should work. if you need any help with anything in forge, let me know. i consider my self to be very good with the forge. i have made quite a few successful maps.

also, there is a simple thing about forge most people dont know. if anyone wants help with spawn points and so forth message me or add my gt PP MooCow PP

I love how everyone is telling him to set respawn to 10 seconds when there's a simple way to make it instantaneous.
