Bungie's latest community update takes an energy sword to rumors that sprung up following the developer's Edge Award for Interactive Innovation acceptance video. Specifically, the dev clarifies that, "There will be no insertion of Campaign objects, enemies or friendlies via the Forge as folks have speculated." Okay then. What else? Oh, yeah, no "new feature that implements Campaign objects into multiplayer" is in the works, either.
Seriously, folks ... let's be more ambitious with our rumors! The video is clearly hinting at the fact that Halo 4 won't be developed by Bungie, or even Gearbox, but by gamers themselves. That way, if you don't like the story or missions, you'll have no one to complain to but yourself.

They never said no new forge features, just that you couldn't insert campaign objects. This still leaves hope for the outdoor, world building, version of Foundry.

Aaargh, there probably won't ever be bots in Halo or a good map builder...Evarrr!!! If they do release a map builder by the end of the year (where maps can be played by other players on XBox live) then I will donate $100 to some charity. How about that Bungie???

"assembly"? was this a codename for a map mentioned in an update (kind of like "purple reign") or did you just pull that out of your butt?

Assembly is the official name of Purple Reign, as revealed in the update.

Far Cry 2 is proving that developers CAN provide gamers with good map-making tools.
I'm all for user-created content.
The problem is, I want to see this expand beyond multi-player.
I think the TimeSplitters series is the only console game to actually touch on user-created single-player levels.
This should be a common feature on current-gen consoles.
We have the horsepower, we have the HDD's...now we just need the tools.

Yeah, too bad MS will probably make us pay a minimum of 800MS points just to download a user created level.

I don't have time to make my own game. I'd rather pay for someone else to make it.
