[QUOTE="Quintinius"][QUOTE="djrobst"][QUOTE="Quintinius"] I really, really doubt it. You think MicroSoft would let Bungie make this? Not a chance. Because of their strict policies, they won't let games have moddable content. It looses out on crappy microtransactions. Just look at Unreal Tournament III. I'm sure Forge was a stretch.
This is the same reason we won't be getting Spore ever.

theys a difference between them letting console made content built on your 360, and content made on a pc being put over to xbox. thats why far cry got away with it and unreal never, beacause microsoft wont open any holes in they system where people can put unsigned code on the system, as they might find a way of putting something else on the xbox instead of map mods etc then use a exploit to launch it to mod the system. thats why they wont open up all these functions to keep the people who hack they xbox to play copies have less options to exploitThat's sounds reasonable, but when you consider the fact that they could've just restricted mods from the PC and PS3 but still let Xbox 360 users MAKE THEIR OWN mods, which would've made sense. But even after 6+ months of negotiations, MS didn't let up on any fronts which make it seem like we won't be seeing a map editor. Guess you never know though.

the map editior is too spec heavy to run on a xbox 360. its not just like forge or drop this here in a big empty room, check out the specs of a pc you need to run it. most computers cant even handle it. need around 1.5gb of ram for it to just be useable. thats why they aint a map editior built into the ps3 version where they allow the mods. because its not even upto spec to run the programI'm curious as to where you're getting these specs when we don't even have a map editor to compare with the 360:roll:
Perhaps one would think Bungie would fine tune a map editor for the precious 360 to rune smoothly in order to gain a huge feature for the almighty Halo 3? :P
