If you want to take a look at the sky high screenshots of Sandbox's Sky Bubble and scrutinize it for secrets , head on over, load them up, and touch your nose to your monitor.


Is that a clue to the location of the skull?

Also I won't try out for the mythic freebies. I am planning on buying the HW LCE and it would be a waste of money if I turn on my xbox just to find I won the maps.

Wow, it is twelve in the morning over here and I just cannot wait for the mythic maps, hopefully they go on the marketplace sooner than later, I'm just so excited.

The maps look awesome. I love how Assembly is a circular arena map which looks excellent for FFA then you have Orbital which from what I hear is a small map with a cool jump that is difficult to make, and last but but definitely not least there is Sandbox which is is a forger's dream. Don't let Sandbox deceive you though at a glance it may seem only to be a regular outdoor map but upon further scrutiny you will find the crypt beneath, which is excellent for griffball and small indoor creations, and above is the sky box, a place for you to build your own little castle in the sky or the next Ascension. Wow, I am really looking froward to Sandbox, it just seems so cool.

Anyway, I don't know about you guys but I signed up on mlgpro.com for a chance to win a mythic map pack code, you guys should give it a try too, you never know, you might get lucky. But really guys this is great I cannot wait!


I never get lucky, never have i ever won a single competition, raffle or anything in fact. i'm just not like john, i don't have luck on my side...

Dude, we talked about this. You have to say my name 3 times for me to show up. Just like the old horror flicks. Now this isn't as cool. You blew it.

FIRST time getting slandered in the WWUD. Suck it -blam! es!

Why no crying GIF? I'm not good enough for you guys?

Alright, enough sarcasm. Regardless of last week's discussion, I'm happy that some people in the B.net community have got some early MMP codes and can get in on the fun. I wonder if they are allowed to post up vids/pics on B.net and give us their view on it or if they'd be under some "media embargo"? Hopefully not.

Till all are one!

Thanks for the update, not too shabby. The maps look great and Sandbox is just a great gift to the fans.

To Urk, Luke, or Shiska:
"The next one, we've already codenamed Purple Reign, may be the last one to get a graphical addition - as one of our artists had an inspired and simple idea at the last second. Technically it's content complete, but hey, it wouldn't hurt to add something small and fascinating."

I'm curious, what was the graphical addition to Assembly/Purple Reign? Anything to do with the skybox? It's always been at the back of my mind since I first read it.

Thanks in advance!

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Nice - Campaign and some ODST shots... here I come

  • 02.21.2009 8:11 AM PDT

IGN: What will the Forge budget be for Sandbox?

Lars Bakken: We were able to play with the numbers a bit and the starting budget is $510 with everything placed on the map you see in the screens.


Go and count the items if you want, it's still quite a lot.

I think the other 3 are a part of ODST when it comes out.

Question: if one were to win a code, would one still have to pay the ~800 MsPoints for the maps, or would they be free?

Skybox and the crypt,
Interesting, whats to stop people leaving where you want them to stay,
I don't understand...

Can you fall to your death from the sky bubble or what?

And what if you are more pure than Shishka, will the towers not kill you.

Questions, questions,
only a week until I learn the answers...

The total budget IIRC is ~1500. You start with just over 500 after all the default stuff is already placed. I find a link to Urk's post on this in a sec. LINK

If you win a code, that's all you'll need. Instead of the XBL Marketplace charging you the 800MS points, that code makes it free and able to be downloaded. So if you're lucky and get a code, you're set.

Skybox and the crypt,

The only way to get out of the Crypt is either by teleporter or if in Forge to be a Monitor and fly up and out of the chute that leads down to it.

Can you fall to your death from the sky bubble or what?

Absolutely. Outside of Forge on the Skybubble, if you touch anywhere that doesn't have something stoping you from falling into where the "blue grid" used to be = death! Just like falling off of Blackout or Guardian.

And what if you are more pure than Shishka, will the towers not kill you.

The towers don't miss. They can however be stopped by a bubble shield. Once that shield runs out though...you're screwed.

Considering I got into the Halo 3 Beta early, I really cant complain if I dont get a Mythic map pack code, but for the community to say you dont care, after issuing a Beta for one of the biggest games of all time, well, thats kinda crazy haha :p, theres only so much you can do for a community after all

No worries, we still love you. Well, some of us do. Just not Shishka. He's incapable of any emotion except rage.

Please don't tell him I said that.
