    Now I'm angry. After my conquest map I was going to make a map on Avalanche, but I'm not going to have the patience to when this comes out.

    Ooh. How pretty. Do we have a size comparison comparing size to other maps? Foundry?

    my guess as to what we'll have to work with:

    [​IMG]

    from the size of the vehicles, id say its about 2.5x the size of foundry's main square.

    Use vehicles as comparison.

    If it's a soft barrier, I see this being as useful as Avalanche. Pretty good, but not spectacular.

    If it's a hard barrier, that would make it about on par with foundry, maybe a bit better.

    I'd much rather have that grid room, in the end.

    Silence, that seems about right. I'd say about half of Avalanche.

    eh, im think the possibilities are endless with this new map. Its like foundry, but theres so much room for improvement now. the ramp pieces alone are a million times nicer than using a wall or sunken double box.

    This is basically what i imagined, and I am not disappointed.

    Half of Avalanche would definitely be the optimum size (for what I would want at least). I think we're going to get a lot of awesome objective maps. Oh god, I just thought about the infinite zombie sky bases that will be made. It's the new Standoff! Noooo...

    Don't even ask questions of urk. We'll know more about it soon enough. Like I said before, I still think there is more to Sandbox than meets the eye.

    So many interesting maps will be created here. I sense that many Cat and Mouse and tremor maps will be pouring out soon after the map pack is released.

    Sandbox: This endless wasteland still holds many secrets. Some of them are held more deeply than others. 4-12 players

    Guys, people over at Bnet actually made an interesting observation.Right click the picture and save as. It's name is Sandbox: Environment 1.

    A Blank Grid map may not be out of the picture yet.

    Well that's what I was saying. I said I don't think this is Sandbox in its entirety. It seems as though there's more in store from Bungie...

    Oh and Whisper, it's just because I have a MacBook right now, and FireFox crashed on me about 3 times while I tried to load this page. If I was on my desktop Mac it wouldn't, but for the sake of convenience, it would be nice.

    you guys are hyping again...

    this is clearly the map, and the stuff looks deleteable. Nowhere does it indicate that theres more to it, or that you dont see it all.

    If theres anything more to it, it'll be in the pieces we're given to build with.
