Modding teams like CMT are more specialized because there is much more to do. But even with CE, most of my maps have been one-man jobs. I could see this working as a way to help members polish and playtest their maps.
    Yes. All of this.

    Yeah, really. At least there's major improvements from Halo 3. Halo 3 was more like building with virtual LEGO blocks. Reach is closer to building with ripped geometry in Max. While we still won't be able to create custom weapons, vehicles, or textures, or sounds, at least we can have fun recreating classic maps and even new ones in Reach. Hell, maybe because it's so easy to make a map in Reach, we might see some forge designs come into CE?
    Or at least it would hold us over until Halo Reach PC.

    Because I was bored, had a grid, and had access to Photoshop, I re-imagined Gridlock in the space I guesstimated was allocated for the Coliseum. Granted, as I have yet to get my hands on the game, it will probably need a few tweaks, but hey.
    Should be self-explanatory, I'll be on hand to answer any questions/suggestions if they arise.

    The CE version I had a few small betas with worked well, I'd imagine the same would transfer over to Reach.

    E: The arrow I have going on there indicates that the rocket bridge is, well, a bridge, and the path goes underneath it.

    EE: By "Sniper Tower", I mean the Sniper Tower from Ascension. Bungie said they ripped the geometry out of that tower and made it into a Forge piece, so that would be the piece to use there. I purposely gave the surrounding area a lot of give since this was all guesstimates.

    EEE: I just came up with a spectacular idea for a third top level to that to utilize the jetpack, but it'll be hard to express in a single image.

    EEEE: Top floor!

    Mostly, I just fucking love the Pro Pipe. I wanted to fit it in somewhere.

    You know, we really shouldn't be trying to come up with a name to describe ourselves. The name we come up with should be applied directly to our content, like a record label or a brand name. The distinction might seem subtle, but I think it's an important one to make. We don't really want to obscure authorship. It should be very clear to the end user that these maps were produced by individuals and teams of individuals. The goal of the label is not to share work, so much as it is to cause chain-reactions of interest. To get our maps to the level of popularity and polish they need to be to qualify for considerations in playlists.

    As a matter of fact, playlists are the whole reason I suggested the idea. We're much more at the mercy of popular opinion and level of exposure than we ever were with Halo CE. We can't just make stuff and figure someone will probably slap it on their dedicated server. We have to work the system to give the stuff we work on a fighting chance. As individuals, our chances of success would rely too much on the size of our friend list and dumb luck than I would be willing to accept.

    It's funny, because I never really cared about how popular my maps were. It was fun to release them, but I always chuckled when others seemed to live and die by how many people were playing their stuff. But I guess somewhere deep down, I must have cared that someone was playing, because the thought of using Reach's Forge without this kind of support mechanism just seems futile.

    Releasing the next Yoyorast was too much of a Pipe Dream for me, I knew I came in too late for Domain or Gridlock to become imPortent enough.
    Reach gives me a way for my maps to be popular while CE slowly climbs into its Grove.
