This is something that should have been brought to bungies attn. a long time ago, Does everyone agree that there should be no limit on object or atleast give us a higher amount to use along with a better budget system do you think bungie should serioulsy fix this

If there isn't a limit placed on what we can place, then load times would be terrible. This leads to an increase of waiting, lagging, and freezing up consoles. There was actually a modded map that bypassed the limit, and if you tried to play it, your console would freeze up.

The budgeting seems fine to me, especially since you can bypass the budget limit if you wanted to. So, I have no complaints there.

I agree with Costly here. While it would be nice to not have limits, the limits are definitely there for a reason. Each new object added to the map adds additional graphics processing time. Bungie limited this for the exact reasons that Costly listed above; not to harm your forging abilities, but to make the maps playable.

There are many things that I would rather have bungie add to forge then that.

1) Rotate Items by x amount of degrees in the x, y, and z axis.
2) Snap Items to the position they are in so if they collide while moving they won't rotate.
3) Have the option of seeing objects that haven't spawned yet, but still be able to go through them.
4) Being able to set objects at a certain (x,y,z) position in the map.
5) Fix the thing where you can't pick up objects that don't spawn immediately in the first round.
6) Have an option to delete an object at a certain time.

alright yes i agree with the lagging issue however. one way around this could be choosing what you would like. example: suffice a barrel for a double open box. this would allow alot of maps to be finished in a cleaner manner, and allow more freedom to making a map. also it will keep the same lag level.. maybe even decreasing it based on loading mobility of a barrel versus a set in stone double box. however one downfall would be a map lagging due to the 500 street cones falling at start...

maybe they could limit it this way.. idk if thats possible to do at this point in the games release.

your best bet is to keep up with bungies "new project" they they kindly released a video of its gridline and awesomeness.

i think thats a good point but they put it there so you couldent lag the map in a way because if u used every object then tried to play it wouldent make the game any fun
