Sandbox

[Delta4907]

Oh joy, MORE fucking small maps. AGAIN.

I'm so glad I sold my 360 long ago. This way I can laugh about their clear need to make stupid decisions such as making sandbox maps of all things smaller than my kitchen table instead of being legitimately disappointed.

I actually thing the map is quite large, you see those lights off to the left side? Im guessing those are either the edge of the map, or just a marker for where mines might start popping up like in Sandtrap. If its just a marker then I consider it a very large map.

[Inferno]

It's not really that small.... Jeez.

I continue to wonder why Bungie is so afraid of making an extravagantly large map with an engine like theirs. At least then a 16 person game would actually be reasonable. 6v6 is not as big a team as they like to say on their matchmaking playlists.

You are either stupid or joking...

Yes they are, you can see the red orb emitting more of a reddish color on its side, and same with the blue one. I wonder if those are whats giving basin its actual light, and if removed make the entire map dark.

Oh my, that is true. Dear god its what I have always wanted! Editable lighting!

[Timo]

That looks incredibly stupid.

I agree. It's a boxmap with some ramps and boxes.

[Heathen]

I agree. It's a boxmap with some ramps and boxes.

Its a highly editable boxmap with apparently editable lighting and fully editable items.

How is that stupid?

its like super foundary...

Unless I'm mistaken, I think he might be referring to the configuration it's in in the screenshot. I agree with that, doesn't look very fun to play in in that configuration.

Still...Forge

The default map, if that is it, the one used in matchmaking, is, imo, very dull and stupid. But give it the ability to create really cool maps using forge, and it becomes awesome.

[Heathen]

I think its okay imo.

Its pretty nice to me.

E: What if it has editable invisible walls :O

[English Mobster]

First thing I'm going to do when I get this March 3rd (preordered Limited Edition of Halo wars):
Remake Blood Gulch.

Fuck yeah.

I just noticed, the original picture in the Halo 3 Screenshots section of Bungie.net, the url link is "http://www.bungie.net/images/Games/Halo3/Screenshots/DLDUSEKSLKJ/Halo3_Mythic-SANDBOX_Environment-01.jpg"
Maybe "Enviroment-01" means that its one of the enviroments you can pick as a layout, adding to Heathen's theory.
