Subject: 'Sense of Scale' - Sandtrap Postmortem

What's up? I'm Anthony, from Maryland. I play a lot of video games, too many. Enjoying the Halo Reach Beat right now. Also Halo was kind of my life from the age of 11-14.

God I hope Reach is going to be as amazing as it looks so far. xD

Hey Urk, it's pretty cool seeing these multiplayer maps and all, but is it possible you could do a Post Mortem for a Campaign Mission?

I don't think I've ever seen you guys describe the steps that go into designing a campaign mission, and it would be cool if you took a level like Tsalvo Highway or The Covenant and described how that level changed over the development process and such with sketches.

Would be cool if it is doable.

Cool map, bro.

Nah, but seriously, it's great that he got to do both versions of his "Sandy" maps in Halo 3 with both Sandtrap and Sandbox.

The early Sandtrap build looked way too small and Banshee-friendly, anyway.

Nice work.
=)

Sandtrap is a great BTB map.The early concept of Sandtrap looked really good.Wish it would have kept that LARGER SCALE!!

But why has Bungie brought up the 'Secret of Sandtrap'?!?!?

Seems to me like the crazy folks at Bungie are working on something BIG, in regards to a new "Upgraded Sandtrap" map...Why else would they bring it up? And with all the different references of how Halo:Reach is BIGGER and BETTER in every way...

I want to see the EPIC SCALE map they have digging up!!!

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.

Awesome interview... one of the most interesting I have read in a while.

I love big maps and big games. Sandtrap doesn't do it for everyone, but it's a heck of a lot of fun with the right objective and the right people.

Hopefully we'll see more large sandy levels in Reach :-)

Common sense - the most under utilized ability since teamwork.

I hope they somewhat revive the early concept of the map for reach, because with camo, sprint, jetpacks, sprint, etc. it may work much better now. There's also the fact that this is way in the past, meaning it would be much less buried under sand.

I would say I am one of the most successful trolls in Bungie.net history.

I hate Sandpoop, it was cool to see how it came to be.

One can only imagine the magic going on with Reach's development. I'm assuming we're going to have more than 1 gigantic map this time around. Halo Reach is going to play much different with new power ups, load outs, and vehicles. Lets get a map as big or bigger than Sandtrap "beta" in it alright Bungie ;)

That beachhead invasion would have been SO -blam!- FUN!!!! I have expectations for Reach now.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

I want that, it looks like a hell of a lot of fun will come out of it.

Stunning! I can't wait to see the kind of Reach Artwork people create out of that wallpaper!

I honestly think those maps are horrible. Both of them, there are only a couple of good maps in halo 3 The Pit and Guardian. I really hope they step up their game for halo reach.

it think it would be cool if they made the first version of sandtrap for the human vs alien game in halo reach humans spawn in base first then the next round the elites do

I hope when making Halo:Reach you guys put all the original maps from halo 3 and the mythic ones as well in reach,because a lot of gamers would miss the maps and weapons etc..
