    Notice that the gametype being played is called "ab." The weapon set might be all rocket launchers. Really any number of things could explain the rockets' location. They might have even been placed there in Forge.

    Didn't notice the gametype, nice catch. But yeah them being placed in forge makes alot more sense than Bungie actually putting them there.

    I see no such thing, and am feeling crazy for not seeing this.

    I do see blocks in the ground, each congruent to the other, which could hypothetically be used as a grid, but I don't see an outlined grid if thats what you're talking about.

    But if you're referring to the congruent blocks, then I especially love what they did. The accepted our needs, but making is oblivious using scenario attributes. Just another nifty thing Bugnie had in their sleeve.

    In some ways it does. In some ways it doesn't.
    We're on a website with all halo 3 ... "forgers". lol. And we have to step out of this website's box. Lots of people loved Halo CE's originality. Some people (including both of my brothers) don't like Bungie changing so many factors. Some people would rather not play Halo 3 because of such small factors such as maps. Some people hate that so many additionals have been added to the game. Such things include equipment, missile pods, elephants, etc. The list goes on.

    There's a chopper in the background.

    What's to say the layout shown in the screenshots is just something Bungie created to throw us off course from its actual layout?

    Yes thats what he is talking about, you can use the blocks as guidelines.

    About the game, was it played on Live.

    They blocked out the name for obvious reasons, obviously showing someones gamertag. They possible played it on live making it possible to view the game details. Most likely they didn't due to people like me who would stalk everything about it. But I remember them doing this a couple of days before releasing the Legendary map pack. I was able to have pictures of Avalanche on my file share due to Lukems taking them. Everyone on my friends list was like "OMGWTFBBQ".

    You can see choppers in the overview pic as well. I thought you were observant?




    I've noticed something else that has me a bit worried. If the 'boxes' on this map are solid stone, that doesn't leave room for an open box equivalent...

    I don't think Bungie would just leave us without open boxes, we've always had them in some form or another. But god that would limit what we could make.

    If it was played on Live, which it probably wasn't, that is the reason for them blacking out the name. I really wouldn't even know where to look if I did, for it was played on Live they probably took it on the least expectable account.

    Just don't get worked up over this. We still don't know it was played on live or not, and its not a crucial thing right now. We see the picture here and there is no need to have it in our File Share besides bragging rights.

    Direct your attention, once again, to the lower right corner. If he were playing with at least one other person, there would be another score bar below his. So he's playing alone. No way of knowing if it was local or Live, though.

    all of that is irrelevant. the fact that instead of having 16 maps (or whatever the default # is) we, in theory, have infinite. Its literally impossible for that to NOT extend Halo's lifespan.

    Good observation. But right now that shouldn't be our main concern, and I'll drop this inquisition.

    I don't see how they could fit them in with the aesthetic scheme they have going. Stone bloack with a bore through it? Doesn't seem likely. Of course I stand to be corrected but it's got me worried.

    Though it does have heaps more shapes than we've had before. And multiple sizes as well. Depending on the item limits, I think we'll be able to live with it.



    I tell you what I'm really looking forward to a rendition of Peasant Hunt on this map. Might have to re name it.

    That is what I was thinking too. If they were to make an open box I don't know how they would possibly make it 'naturally' correct. If they do complete the task, I hope it doesn't stand out and look un-natural.

    Having an extra map will extend Halo3. i thought we were talking about the features within Sandbox.

    Idk if this has been seen or anything but:
    YouTube - Halo 3 "Sandbox" Preview
    (embedding is disabled)
    It has the same block as seen on sandbox... hmmm...

    In fact, something I didn't think about earlier:

    The "Slayer; kill the enemy" message hasn't even gone away yet, which means the player certainly started the game holding the rocket launcher. That means the gametype was, indeed, modified. That is most likely not the default rocket spawn, if this is even the default Sandbox canvas.

    Video Disabled.

    I see in that video the Map Beta player, I guess I should call it. Its defintily not where they make the maps for that is much more complex, and high tech. But I see that has grids, wonder why they don't try to implement that on maps using a switch.

    Edit: Now we can see a spawn point, and see where the plaer spawned from the original picture.

    But now with this picture, I also think we can eliminate the theory that there is something behind sandbox. You can't see that much ahead, but there is obviously no grass/snow/etc.

    Well where did you find the picture?

    EDIT:
    One thing I wanna point out...
    Notice the lighting on this picture, towards the background as it gets far away.

    Now look at the lighting on this picture. I'm sure you all remember this one.

    Coincidence?


    REVELATION!!!!!!!!!!

    In the second picture, look at the background.
    IS THAT SAND!?!?!?!?!?
