Make an Elephant the objective. the invading force has to drive the elephant into the enemy base, completing the objective.
ex: phase 1- blow open a path of some sorts with a bomb
phase 2- drive the elephant to a spot in the base. the elephant becomes permanantly stationary(kinda like halo wars)
phase 3- get the power core and bring it back to the stationary elephant

thats only a suggestion of how 1 new vehicle could revolutionize INVASION

p.s. choppers are also a must, and a graphical overhaul for both. :)

yeah, nice idea, although, the elephant would most likely not work for stage 1 when you look at the BWU picture, it would definitely be cool for a escort-core kind of invasion...

I like this idea. Or maybe have it so that after the Elephant becomes immobile a bomb would appear upon it. Then you would have to take it off of the Elephant ans into the enemy base.

Also, I feel it would be really cool if they made the primary spawn point for the invading team within the Elephant. so that just like the Elephant was the base where the Flag was in CTF, it would be your base for Invasion.

Yes I would love to play sandtrap once again and I support this idea and it is very good that someone is making this thread. I have saved this thread and I encourage others to support this idea and I will try to find a way to contact bungie or 343.

the primary spawn for at least one stage would be good if it was in the elephant... however there might be gameplay faults in that. like, what if one of your teammates decided to be a jerk and drive the damn thing to the other side of the desert?

Gigitty Gigitty Goo!

Yes I made a super fun map on sandtrap that just couldnt be remade in reach

  • 02.21.2011 2:03 AM PDT

3 seconds 10 kills =P

I would really really really like this, at most i would put down 800 points for it, especial when they bring out 2 more maps with it. And Sandtrap style forge opbjects on The new sandtrap.

Awesome idea! Get to it :)

Play Halo 3.

did you even read my OP?

its not IN halo 3.

it was a CONCEPT before they even created halo 3.

please read the OP before posting ANY feedback. what you have to say is worthless unless you have a somewhat moderate understanding of what i am talking about.

i usually wouldnt get so angry, but a cynical, sarcastic statement which is not supported at all by annything relavent to what i am talking about makes you look like a fool. please refrain from posting on this thread, recontrooper.

WOO! You go girl! (lulz)

  • 02.21.2011 7:38 AM PDT

lol this is creating a spam board :O so im talking a bout sandtarp now... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
SAND IS GONA BE GOOD

i just tried to give a general idea of how elephants could be used. my idea is just one of many ways it would change the game. you could do assault, core capturing, or whatever you want. Bungie definatly needs Sandtrap 2.0
