    All of the objects (most anyway) seem to be pretty straight forward. The boxes don't seem to be curved at the ends, but rather much closer to 90 degree angles, so hopefully interlocking won't be as necessary. However, there still be a great deal of customization to be had with merging.. we'll just have to wait and see I guess.

    read this:
    oh no he didn't! awesome.

    We already have tunnels. They are called open boxes. Of course they will look and play much better in Sandbox but still...

    There's a roof on Foundry. There is not on Sandbox. Simple enough. You will probably be able to go upwards of 8 boxes instead of the 4 that you can on Foundry. My guess is a boundary similar to that of Avalanche. Maybe a bit bigger.

    If it turns out to play like Isolation, EP1c lOss. Seriously, that would suck balls that this would turn out like foundry: Custom maps are amazing, default sucks, and every screenshot nublet will take hundreds of shots of something now simple post-Sandbox Day.:cry:

    Hopefully this won't be so, right FH community?

    Ya, thats kind of what I was thinking

    You didn't double post, lol

    That is really weird how they can build up or down I wonder if that means you can lower that certain part of land. Or just placing an object pushes the land down.

    I didn't really think about the Down in up or down. From what we've seen today, I can't believe you guys are even wishing for more. You know what I really want? After chrst------- (I don't even know) and sw33n3y make Manifest 2, Manifest 3 epicness on Sandbox. I can't even wait for the awesome zombie maps which will replace the complete **** (except for a select few) we get on Foundry.

    Or maybe ghost immovable objects into the ground, much like geomerging? this can support the underground tunnels theory, if we have tunnels to forge in the first place.

    March 3rd (U.S) could not come soon enough. :(

    It was nice speculating with you all today, but I'm out for now.

    Ya but you know it could be very simple to block of the part underneath if its a simple small tunnel that you have to go inside kind of like snowbound when you enter the bottom part. But if its on the isolation side where the entrance is huge, I think that most forgers would really hate that

    Wow infection maps would play very well on these kinds of maps. Also people can have the chance to create a huge BTB map.

    Maybe they are two holes hidden from the pictures, and work like isolation. I believe somewhere bungie said they will clear up a few things on friday, so I can't wait. I just feel bad for those who can't get sandbox.

    The best thing that can happen to this map is the First INDOOR 8-on-8 BTB City/Building Map in H3.

    This map will have tons of great classics remade on it.
    Tremor Blast, Grifball, MLG Maps, And many more that have yet to be thought up.

    Could you edit those pics into the first post somehow? That way we don't have to look for the page or remember the number.

    Ontopic: I think this will be perfect for my vehicular battle map I'm going to work on. The ramps will be a livesaver.

    True dat, but i was reffering to that one map in H2 with the Railway system that had a sword on it, and the multi-floored garage, and the annoying wraith. (forgot the name :p)

    Or even Longshore... good times...

    but i meant THAT^^^ style of map in H3 wiuld be a great addition.

    The bunker windows ARE awesome. I was just designing a map on sketchup and had an idea for windows like that. I just didn't have any idea on how to build them and make them aesthetically pleasing. Now I don't have to worry
