I thought it would be awesome if the brought back Forge. I would hope it would be different worlds!!!

A PC-side program with user map uploads is entirely possible, but highly unlikely. It might be possible to have the worlds constructed from one or more types of a universal file type, and have the community make different programs from there; similar to how Minecraft takes a certain size .png for skin texture...and the variety of community-made programs specifically for making Minecraft skins, along with Photoshop and the like. I'd talk about Bungie making some sort of 'shell' program or filetype that users can start with, but that adds even more complexity than there already is! Now with a program with (seemingly) as much complexity as that screenshot, I think the only way that will work on console is if the UI was redesigned to make better navigation with a controller. Some options and details would need to be randomized or pre-set, for example the elevation map (the "Stamp") that the mountains follow to get their shape, or the shape of different trees.

If interoperability is the aim here, I don't see why you couldn't simply download a tool like this to your computer, create a map, upload it to Bungie, then download/play it on your Xbox, PC, Playstation, etc...[/quote] [Edited on 07.21.2012 2:24 AM PDT]
