Why is it such a big deal to get the first post or be on the first page? Seriously how old are the people that come to this site?

Edit: Sandbox looks sweet!

Since organized communities are usually more enjoyable, you should take your time to read the forum rules to save yourself some trouble and help keep the forums clean :-)

Damn...

Sandbox keeps getting better and better everytime I read the newest...news on it. Really cool update this week :-)

Rebellion in small things to let the world know I haven't surrendered.

Breaking out the Graph paper is actually a good idea.

At least, it would be, if you knew the sizes of all the pieces... (One square? Two? One and a half?)

Wonderful screens and it's nice to finally see the Flamethrower again in Multiplayer.

Will it actually be in MM? Or just in Custom Games?
...
One last thought..

I have half a mind to kill you....and the other half agrees.

Just curious, but will those forged versions of the crypt be available as a download via Bungie Favs when the maps are released (either with Halo Wars, or when it's downloadable on the Marketplace?

I couldn't help but notice the Marathon emblem on one of the rocks in the "For Sense of Scale, Triangulate" image...
Will you guys ever explain to us what it mean in the Halo universe?

Read Contact Harvest. It means "reclaimer"

Yea wow, when I first saw sandbox, I thought it would be a nice way to make some good big team driving style maps, then the skybox, and now the crypt, WOW, just wow. I don't know what can't be made on here. Its going to put everything else made in forge before to shame.

Campiagn Kill Count :31,745. And growing.

The Revisionaries- One of the greatest screenshot groups on B.net. With 250 members and growing.

Pretty cool, I must admit. This is will a mappack I won't regret buying.

I still don't like the website changes BTW. Just throwing that out there.

I <3 Forge

That is truly one of the greatest things ive seen in my entire life. Well maybe not my entire life but that is definately up there. Bungie has really gone above and beyong with this project and you have brought the community a near Far Cry status map editor. But unlike Far Cry you have a great map editor and great gameplay(something Far Cry lacks). Sorry if there are any die hard Far Cry fans on this post, but I don't see why you would be posting about Bungie's map editor anyways.

We've got a much deserved three day weekend coming up. The Halo 3: ODST team has earned every single second of it and then some, their collective shoulders supporting an Atlas-esque workload over these past few weeks. Some of them are even going one step further and giving up the three day weekend to work right on through. Pray for our bleary-eyed brothers and sisters. They endure for you.
God I love Bungie, what other company would do that for you?

Wow, Sandbox s like three maps in one, Bungie really out did themselves with this map!

  • 02.13.2009 11:34 PM PDT

I grew up playing your games Bungie, and I sure as hell am looking forward to whatever you decide to do next.

Bungie, this map is truly a love letter to not only the Forge community, but to all your fans. I have never been a Forge guy, but Sandbox is looking to be the thing that just might spark some creativity in me.

Thanks again. Can't wait to play all three maps... and tell those guys and gals working on ODST to get some rest already! It's criminal to waste a three day weekend working!

  • 02.14.2009 12:08 AM PDT

*Salutes Bungie, salutes again for the ODST team*- Keep up the good work!
I haven't seen a proper picture of the sky bubble yet- where can I find one?

Funnily enough, I was thinking about Sandbox earlier and hoping that there would be invisible walls around the outside of the ground level. But now, thanks to the Crypt, I don't have to worry about it.

Sandbox is truly impressive.

When Sandbox was first revealed, I was happy but it was still meh. "A New Foundry huh?", I thought.

When IGN revealed the Sky Bubble, I went "Damn! This is pretty awesome!"

After reading BWU: I now have to rush to the mall. I have run out of clean underpants.

I <3 Bungie.

Yay. cant wait for Feb 26. thats when Halo Wars is released in Australia :D
Sandbox is going to be Epic. I wonder if we would be able to incorperate all 3 "layers" of sandbox into the one map for sandbox, that would create some really awsome versatility in certain gametypes, one minute spawn on the ground and the next time you die you spawn underground!

  • 02.14.2009 1:59 AM PDT

Fav. Games: Halo, Marathon, Gears of War, Guitar Hero, CoD4, Rockband, Super Smash Bros(all 3), Legend of Zelda, and alot more that isn't right off the top of my head. ^-^

Mind=blown.

I thought sky bubble was over the top........I love you bungie....
