    So not all of you might know about this thing on the waypoint blog yet where you hover over these three sharing buttons with 7 seconds in between, going right to left.

    It actually activates some javascript that sometimes shows some extra text on the pages, like this:

    Can you spot the text? No? Let me clear it up for yah:

    This finally makes sense of something I spotted earlier on the TU details page:

    Lets make this clearer:

    Sandtrap?

    I haven't been able to find a release date yet, but it might show up in later posts.
    I can't wait for sandtrap :O

    If you guys can find anything on any other posts that'd be great, because I haven't been able to check them all yet (too damn lazy).

    Sweet! Not going to take it as confirmation, don't want to jinx it.

    I just hope they use the elephants and let us remake space station.

    If so holy shi :D

    If this turns out to be legit, I will be happy. Y'know, as long as the maps aren't sucky.

    You've just reminded me of the reason why I came on ForgeHub in the first place - to find April Fools shizzle. I saw this post and was like, 'ERMAHGERD SANDTRAP!'

    Silly me.

    But if this was actually real, I'm sure 343 would be the most loved game developer ever.

    Sandtrap would be pretty awful with DMRs.

    Any other day I would have been excited. But it isn't any other day. This is bullshit.

    Now I feel like a bit of a moron. Not sure who to blame here either...

    I'm still of the mind that the original Sandtrap was a bad April Fools' joke.

    AssaultCommand, I give you ♥ Sky points for this little joke, you ****er. I thought the hover over buttons was suspicious but when you mentioned javascript I reconsidered but now I know to never trust you again.

    @Peg, Sandtrap was awesome. Stealing Elephants on CTF was fun as hell, or parking them in stupid places. I actually flipped one on accident by trying to reverse it up a slope during a game. Lols were had.

    Well I wasn't looking forward to paying for them so I guess there is a little bit of good news...

    Sandtrap was the ultimate in BTB fun for me. I've been saying I wanted a remake since the days of Reach. I tried to see if it was possible to do in ForgeWorld but it wasn't. I had hopes they would remake it in Halo 4, and when I saw Ragnarock I had more hope Sandtrap would return in a DLC map pack, but nope. Then recently, I had hopes it could be made in Forge Island... but nope... the big island isn't big enough (what else is new).

    Wow, this thread was a likefest for assaultcommand eh? I knew it was fake when he said to hover over the share buttons for 7 seconds each. Good job though, you got a bunch of people!
