Yes, you read correctly.

This map is perfect. Solid underneath for say... a Wizard/Warlock remake, a middle area for an outdoor forge area, and a top area where you can fall off the map; a la Lockout, Ascension, etc.

WOW

I think this was posted somewhere already.

On a somewhat related, very obscure note.
Plays right into the Red vs. Blue story. In episode 16 or 17 of Reconstruction, Tucker is on the radio to command and he says they found what they were looking for, and it's under the sand. Sandbox would be a perfect location for that plot line in the upcoming series.

Sandbox almost makes me want to play Halo 3 again.

If that bottom level is the same scale as the middle level, there might just be enough room for something almost like Hang Em High. Or a Foundry remake...

It seems they are actually trying to fulfill a Halo 3 gamers needs. They're making a campaign where you can play as an ODST, not the same ol' chief. And now they're making a map pack worth while, with a map that you can build on, under, and above.. finally allowing some creativity. For once I must say, congratulations Bungie. :wink:

On the side I must say forging on this map is going to be a turn in forge history, you'll see forge hub gone mad.. and of course, *sigh* a lot of pointless recon. :?

Now if only the engine, forge, and hardware were able to accommodate populating all threes levels of sandbox to make three completely different maps in one.

Obviously, but there are only 640 slots available for you to fill.
That is not enough to create 3 full and complete maps with spawns, weapons, and scenery.

Actually, it is possible. Nobody said they had to be big ones. Technically, the middle and bottom level could consist of a spawn point or two.

I'm interested now as well... I wonder if usermap modding can pull even more possibilities out of this map. :)

Lower levels look phenomenal. I'm psyched now.

Top of the map is the best.
