    then i have no explanation. all i see is that its Slayer, theres a guy with blue armor by default, and hes alone... with mystery rockets. could just be a strange angle.

    I'm gonna go ahead and preface the rest of this post with some joke tags.

    ...maybe it's AI.

    The only thing I get out of the picture is the game type is "ab" which supports the idea of a quickly thrown together low-gravity/rockets game type.

    Wouldn't we see his buddy on radar if there was a guy behind him?

    And there is NO WAY that he could shoot, pick up a grenade, throw a grenade, jump and shoot a rocket within the amount of time that the Slayer message is up.

    Urk, Shishka, end the madness!!!!!!!!
    Laugh at us all ya want...

    This is a diogram that i will explain:
    [​IMG]
    I know it's a little fuzzy but it's paint so......
    YELLOW:Those as many people have said are probably team markers
    ORANGE: I also think that the Barrier sized blocks are team markers
    RED: Also said many times the lights in the distance are probably the mines or bombs simaler to Sandtrap and Snowbound.
    DARK GREEN: The center piece if you haven't noticed has an overshield on it.
    BLUE: everything in blue is probably evrey thing you can forge (i just outlined the object once or twice not everything.
    A: I think those are forgable because they are repeated theoughout the map (including the center piece.
    B: A replacement for a wall. (there is also a completly flat wall on the nearest base in front of the F.
    C: Replacment for stairs
    D: A new piece possibly used for making a pyrimad.
    E: YAY PILLARS
    F: Another new piece good for cover and an interesting top to a pyrimad
    G: is the barrier sized block to the left of the center piece
    H: Another intresting sized block

    All of these are the things that I can see from this angle but I'm almost positive that like foundry, you can clear the whole map.

    Vehicles
    Asuming from the size (about Standoff) there will probably be banshee's (x2),Warthogs (x4) Warthog guases (x2), Choppers (x2) mongooses (x8)​
    Weapons
    If bungie gave us the weapon layout to one side they would be giving it to both because it's symetrical. So that would be cheating.​
    Forging
    This should probably be the knew foundry. The only thing i don't like about the "new Foundry" is the color scheme. It's ok but think about making a un-escapeble room/arena with walls and a floor that color (shiver)

    ^ People really need to read the thread.

    Every five seconds someone posts, "hey, is that an oversheild?"
    Or
    "You know what! Good golly gosh, i think this is a map meant for forging!"
    Or
    "Wow! Look one side has blue objects, and the other has red!"

    Don't mean to chew your butt out specifically, but I'm asking people to stop posting things they think are new, but never really care to search and find out if it has already been found. That's why the thread is labeled "watch your spam". If ten people post how to post pictures for someone, sure it's being helpful, but it's still spam, because it is unneeded, and same goes in this thread.

    There's also a little slab piece that's like a barrier on the bottom left corner of F.

    And F (Present in both bases and in the center) could possibly be 2 seperate pieces. I'm not certain yet.

    Is there any part of this map that has like and inside to it? Like is there any where to take cover inside. Because it looks so boring from my persective

    The default map does look pretty boring for a big map, but its forge map so you have to make it not suckish I suppose.

    You have to admit it would be alot better if the ground is just flat and there were no places to go into. Easier Forging that way.

    That may not be the final.

    Weapon layout looks fascist at the moment, it might be tweaked.

    Yes I kind of agree with that because if there was an ungerground tunnel or place to go under at you have to use this in your map every time because its the default part of the map, kind of like the back hallways in foundry. But ya I really do not like the map from looking at the picture, it could play well thought, I do not really know, it could play well

    Fascist? That doesn't make any sense. I could understand you referring to is as spartan. But fascist?

    For some reason the maps layout seems very MLG to me. Its very open, not many walls in the way so you can see around the whole map. The geometry of the map is very simple. It might be fun to play on, we'll just have to wait untill its out to test it.

    Agreed I really dont think that I would enjoy playing team slayer on that map. Its just like a couple of huge structures and the rest seems open. Plus the whole map seems smaller than I imagined and it just seems like bungie didn't work as hard on it as they did with like sandtrap although sandtrap didnt turn out the best either.

    Like we said previously, it looks to be about double the size of Foundry. Perhaps a tiny bit bigger. I for one think this is a very good thing :D

    There is an underbelly to each base. You can travel from side to side under the base but you cannot travel through the front or back.

    You can tell that just from the picture?

    I can't see anyway inside the either base.... Maybe I'm just slow though, I'll go check again.

    No, no, no gaiz. He's clearly shot the first rocket at the structure (which I'm begining to think is taller than a single box, this might account for why the stair structures are longer). So, he shoots first rocket, jumps with the added effects of high grav. As he is jumping he pushed his left thumbstick slightly to the left, which would account for why the trajectory is no longer perpendicular to the player. He shot the first rocket slightly after take off and quickly looked down to fire the second. By this time he is reaching his maximum height, which is where the picture was snapped.

    I think those structurs in the map are taller than a single box in height because this map is more suited for vehicular combat.
