I love this idea. I think the entire community rejoiced when Sandtrap was made, and the reaction to Forge World was excellent. While I dont like the idea of recreating an old map when our current dlc only gives out 3 new maps in a 4 month period, the fact that this map will provide both a new invasion map AND a new forge world style appeals to me. I would also hope that 343/bungie also create areas that can be used to create older maps, like how blood gulch is physically in Forge World. But yeah, good stuff.

Just seeing the word "Sandtrap" in the title means it's definitely a DO WANT!

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."

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


Drop Pod Spawn FTW!!! i always thought that was cool in ODST and in Halo 2 just those one parts was awesome also it would be cool if you could shoot them out of the sky though not cool for the person you just shot lol

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


i tried to stay with what you were saying... thanks for the feedback regardless


Summary:

Basically what i was saying is if you put Concept Sandtrap in and have it as another forge world then you need more areas and theres an idea already floating out there with that but have the concept map as a prebuilt playable map like hemmorage and the cage were when Reach came out.

as for the rest of it its just wishful thinking in how i wish i had more of a certain building block or how i wish i could use longsword pieces and stuff like that to make a crash site for Zombie games plus Elephants and Pelicans and Phantoms and Drop Ships for transport during invasion games kinda like in the beta version i think its been so long i cant remember now and the Drop Pod idea is kinda reminiscent of a game called Section 8 where when you respawn you are launched from the sky and when you reach a certain altitude you hit the 'air brakes' which slows you down and you can change your course and land safely instead of just appearing in a set place only to get spawn killed

and if its still hard to follow sorry i tend to go on long winded explanations LOL

Online Gaming's pretty much like a zombie movie. There are a lot of mindless idiots roaming around but you find some survivors on the way.

But I think it's a must for Invasion, or possibly Pelican/Phantom drops to start the rounds, I think it would be cool for every spawn but then unless they made it so you chose your spawn then drop really fast, the animations would be awful, you're just about to land and suddenly change your spawn point.

haha, no problem, all thats important is that feedback is left. i see some of your ideas, and they are good, but as for drop pods spawn, in my opinion, those seem a bit unreasonable.

BUT i did also notice your request for longsword pieces to forge with.

this may go into the OP because i can see this happening. there have been so many maps where a crash-site theme has been attempted, but due to the lacking object themes, they couldnt get the right feel down for it.


thanks

yay for the old halo 3 drop pod launcher, did anyone ever try that in halo 3, its the thing where drop pods or tanks were dropped onto radio antenna's and you went flying.
it was awesome!!!!!

LMFAO!!!!! that would be funny everyone dies on a map and its like i wanna spawn here no here no here
but actually you move yourself as your falling in Section 8 so its more like you pick a safe spot to land but if you wanna be closer or further away then once you hit the brakes you can move in that general area think of it as the target designator for spawning you got a big target but you can hit anywhere in that area but it would be fun to go high speed and land on someone and get a kill for it lol and get a medal like Slammin'
