Do we really mean it? We have forge world. It would be cool to be able to go above forge world though.

And when are there any fun vehicle battles on forge world? There are no MM maps with Falcons on Forge world and there are no maps built specifically for vehicle combat, the original idea for Sandtrap was a vehicle combat map.

Thank you for bumping this, Wee Man. I would have never seen it. I do agree that the Sandtrap concept should be remade for Reach.

Just the basic concept images of it look really good, if this map became a reality I would definately buy them!

some one once said to forge your way through life well i say just build a map

if Charlie Brown played Halo: Reach here is what he would say "I got Owned."

After reading the article I think this should be ADDED to the Forge Desert idea that i have seen on these forums like as a pre built area for instant Invasion games and stuff now as for new items Elephants as moving fortresses and mobile spawns definately but i want them in forge world too because that gives me ideas to make invasion maps much much bigger and still be enjoyable but they would need to fix the budget too make it more or make the items cost less because i just made a map that used all of the budget and i still feel like its not complete its also the first one to use all of the budget plus more vehicles would be nice like the old vehicles plus pelicans and drop ships oh and the option to have drop pods for spawn points would be nice and a way to make it where you can just select either the whole map (team slayer games) or just certain areas for certain phases (Invasion) so that way its harder to spawn kill and you may be splattered by a drop pod lol

Well, if your suggesting drop pod spawns then i'm up for that.

I can totally see this happening.

For the sake of the map I would change it so you have the map with in the wall, then you have an area all around the wall. Not just at one small section.

Phase 1. Spartans have to break through the forerunner wall to gain access to the inners of the forerunner fortress.(Assault)(Spartans would have 1 or 2 warthogs off the start, while the elites have 1 or 2 ghosts and some vehicle killing weapon.)

Phase 2. Spartans have to blow a hole in the area outside of the inner fortress(where the flag is on the picture of the whole map.) to get in.(Spartans get Armor or Falcon)

Phase 3. Spartans have to secure the inner fortress by capturing a territory at the top of a forerunner tower. The tower would have one way in from the ground level, but some areas are weak and can be destroyed by a tank shell or a rocket which allows the falcon to fly more guys into the mid/top of the tower. The tower would be a circular tower with tight hallways that keep circling up until they reach the top. (Spartans would get Armor and Falcon, Elites would get 1 or 2 Banshees, 1 or 2 Plasma launchers all of which would spawn on the top of the tower which would make it hard to do an air drop) (Note there would be a good amount of cover at the top of the tower for the elites to use.)

QFT
That idea is really good, as I'm off for the rest of the week I might make myself this map for HL2 with the Hammer Editor and get it posted on the OP for visual recognition of the idea. Only if there were tools openly available to make Halo maps and be able to play them.

i like this idea very much to when i read it, but the tough thing is that we want to take this one step at a time, as one other poster said about the whole pelican idea.

we just want bungie to adopt this idea, we dont want to tell them exactly how to make their game.

i do appreciate your ideas and feedback, and i would put it in the OP, but it is just too specific and a bit commanding towards bungie, so for now no. thank you very much though for leaving this.

Bump, come on guys keep this idea up on the front page where people can see it. We gotta get the word out.

true

guys does anyone know how many times the thread has to be saved in order to get pinned?


also in peoples fedback if they could let us know they saved it, it would be great to get an accurate tally.

Great idea! Let's keep this thread alive! Sandtrap, Choppers and Elephants in Reach would be so sick. I hope Bungie/343 realizes the value of this great idea.
