I got his idea for a map a while back... a map where you create your own scenario. No set objective; you choose the enemies, how many allies to bring, your aresnal, your wheels, the weather, and then theme music for your ass-kicking, to boot.
This map is called Sandbox for a reason; it's meant for you to use anything and everything possible at your disposal to have a good time. No time limits, no objective, no noob teammates to teamkill you for the sniper.
The player will start in an underground bunker. There's a garage with one of each vehicle, and connected to it is an armory with all of the weapons. Connected to the armory is an elevator that will take you to an observation deck, where you can check your current set up.
There are buttons in the garage that let you define how you're leaving; the outside BSP can be chosen from a couple different times/climates; grassy, desert, swamp, nighttime, and snow. A button nearby will dispense marines for you to take with out outside. Another set of buttons will define what enemies will spawn when you leave (covenant, flood, sentinels), and a last set of buttons will determine what music will play when you leave. After you set up, you can go arm up in the armory, head up the the obervation deck to see what you'll be walking into, and then you hop into a vehicle with some (or no) marine buddies and go whoop ass.
So far, I've gotten the armory in-game, and for the hell of it, I populated it. Sure, I'll have to repopulate it after I add to the BSP(s), but I was bored, and I wanted to test my skill with the HEK, since I haven't touched it as of late. Here are some pics:

In case you're wondering, that's the armory drom d40, customized a tad. Don't worry, no freaky camo flood will pop out and kill you.
...maybe. :evil:
UPDATE 3-09: I picked up working on it again somewhat, and finished the bunker entrance doors. Here's a vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmxlFbx1yYY
