I want to fight that Brute Pimp lol, seriously though thanks for a good update Bungie.
I really loved that last part with Da Player.

The screenshot of sandbox makes the map look kinda small... Is there an underground bit?

  • 01.30.2009 4:18 PM PDT

Glory to Jesus Christ

Sandbox really is a big forge map? Huzzah! Also, I love the sunset in Sandbox, it's awesome.

Thank you for the update.

Nice update. That screenshot with the Hammer Weilding Spartan was pretty cool too.

We're bringing our MAC cannons online and we're targeting next week.


So we're going to get some moar info on the Mythic maps next week? *crosses fingers to confirm my suspicions*

That sunset in Sandbox just looks so amazing too. I'd like to give props to the employee who created that sunset.

The sun set is really sweet.

Does anyone even read these?

Sandbox looks amazing and I can't wait for Halo 3: ODST. But just a question, is the sand spread over the floor on Sandbox deep enough to stop grenades bouncing? Because this will be a very bad thing. Is it at least deletable?

  • 01.30.2009 4:22 PM PDT

Pretty cool, it's good to see that ODST is on it's way. Sandbox looks good too.

  • 01.30.2009 4:23 PM PDT

Look at what halopedia says.
The center of the map is a flat, empty floor, similar to Foundry but visually resembling Sandtrap. The map is built from forge-editable blocks, pillars and ramps. The player can also place halves of the pyramid structures on Sandtrap. Sandbox will likely have more vehicles available the Foundry however the confirmed vehicles are Warthogs, Mongooses, and two Choppers (The second is slightly visible in the wide-screen picture). A new Forge item is an orb of light that colors its surroundings in either red or blue; it can be used to differentiate the two bases, similar to most maps made by Bungie.[3] The floor may also be removeable to access the blue grid shown in the video of their Interactive Innovation acceptance speech at the end.

Sandbox looks really neat. I am guessing you can delete all of the items on there.

Can't wait to see what people will forge in Sandbox!

I prefer señor Legendary Member.

Roadhouse.
I have seen the powers at hand and I can honestly say I am not ready

Sweet ass update. Sandbox will be sweet.

that was awesome. I wonder what's over Mombasa? and why so many references to the Forward Unto Dawn?

You mean the salvo/MAC guns? Sounds like urk is reading Fall of Reach :P

lol

It is a good book. you SHOULD read it if you haven't.

You bet.

Halopedia does not equate to fact. So some of that is most likley untrue(The whole "delete the floor and get the blue grid" part.).

That would add alot of space to the map, from a first impression of this map, it looks really small. I think that a large pit (like a hole, not the map) would be awesome.
