    I believe that for the first month or two the forums will fall to the flood of new Sandbox maps. BUT, after that slows down the junk is weeded out, I believe that Foundry can pull through again because it still has potential for good things. Just not as much as Sandbox because it is brand new.

    No. Maybe for the first several weeks, no one will want to think of Foundry, let alone forge on it. But after that I think Foundry will still get some good maps. Even maps that are being worked on now by people will have to get finished and I'm sure Foundry has not breathed it's last. There are just certain types of maps that are better on Foundry than will be on Sandbox. They are two different maps and they will both have their purpose. For example, MLG will be near impossible to create on Sandbox. Maps that need to be about Foundry size will be made on Foundry. Although personally I don't want to see Foundry again...

    edit- Looks like all three of us gave him the same answer...

    Was foundry the end I other maps? Not at all, and that's not just because of new maps. People still forge pre-dlc.

    GUYS!
    Bungie released pictures of sandbox in two interviews, and it looks to me like there is a glowing grid to make easier forging.

    Technically your right, but there are like 75 Foundry maps released for every 1 Pre-DLC map.

    This has already been discussed. Do your research first.

    I know. I still forge on Pre-DLC maps, but Foundry is kinda different. If I wanted to make a totally new map, I wouldn't turn to Foundry.. I would turn to Sandbox.

    I am glad that they added a grid, this could actually be helpful for those who layout their maps before they begin forging.

    i wonder if it can be turned on and off?

    I would like to be able to have the grid always on as a choice, It would make a chess map easierish.

    I think it can.
    For the simple reason that it's not in every pic, and whenever there is a Forge Monitor in sight its there.
    Probably turned on and off much like a Color Effect, you just place some kind of object that turns the grid on and off.

    The grid, IF ACCURATE TO THE BASIC DOUBLE BOX OF SANDBOX (what shape would that be???) will be the most influential thing to be added to forge since interloxx. :)

    I'm guessing that it will show when you're in monitor mode, but once you go into player mode, they'll disappear much like the tear drops.

    you know, no one has talked about tunnels yet. The IGN Interview mentioned tunnels. Do you guys think it'll be like a High Ground Tunnel or just a box tunnel

    urk is watching again...

    Does anyone have a link to one page where are the pics are together? IGN and that other site are very annoying to view pictures. It would be nice to have all the pictures just on one page in one column...

    And don't know how I didn't notice the blue and red glow of each base after looking at the original picture. It's so obvious.

    Sorry for double post but I just found this in the T3 interview.

    This may lead to more evidence for the multi teared theory.

    "From there it was making sure it was possible to open up the space and give players a little more freedom - freedom to build up or down, as the case may be."

    Your thoughts?

    I dont think that its the kind of tunnels that you are thinking of. i think its more of like the cover type like the little bunkers on sandtrap, but who knows they could be hiding it in the pictures. There could be an underground place like isolation

    I think the tunnels will just be like double boxes without a bottom, but I really don't know.

    Ok, tunnels suggest underground. Otherwise they would call them open boxes again. If you think about it, they wouldn't even mention them if they were the same as those.

    BTW Urk, you should post instead of LUrking. Even if it's just what you had for breakfast.
