    i actually dont really like myspace that much, its not my acheivement, i play mobsters on myspace, and some people got mad at me on the game, and haven't let up for like a month, i made that pic. to make fun of them, but you cant post img code in the mobsters chat. sad face.

    even more off topic, orbital has the perfect feel about it for infection too, dark gloomy space station, its pretty BA


    Back on topic, Sandbox almost seems like its meant more for building large castle-type bases rather than traditional bases, 0_o

    i wish there were some other colored building blocks though, they all kind of blend, but that also might help people not notice the fact that im lazy and didnt geomerge in parts. :)

    Its a dead brown spartan. The grid lines just overlap your view of it.

    I get it, like an excavation site. That makes sense to me. I was expecting some sort of force field thingy. Fine, but you have to admit it looks like a dead women. Specifically Miranda.

    Exactly.

    And yea that would be interesting but probably as hard to place as shield doors. I think we an do without.

    EDIT: Although, whose would make for fairly epic replacements of fence walls/fence boxes.

    Zomfg rofl i didnt even see those bridges, and the tower base too. this just keeps getting better.

    Also that symbol on the lower left hand side, ive seen that before, was that in the picture "my backpack" the backpack was ontop of a symbol just like that.

    One more thing, WHAT ABOUT STAIRS? is there going to be any? is there going to be a new cooler looking stone steps maybe?

    Its just gridlines. We think they only show up in forge, to help you line objects up. Like foundry's floor except alot better.

    What? No, that's not what I meant. I meant I expected bridges that looked like the one on the covenant, I wasn't talking about the grid.

    He was talking about a bridge replacement. Not the grid lines.

    Ok, I thought you were talking about the blue grid. Yeah hopefully we will have a few bridge types to choose from.

    i really wish you will be able to toggle a snap to the lines on and off, that would be hell-u handy, or if you could edit the grid, to make more lines for harder merges, then less for general lining up..... or BLUE LASERS OF DEATH!!!!.
    but cerial, the first two would be handy, and does anyone else think we should get snowbound-type automated turrets, that attack everything on one side of them??? could be used for boundaries, and for awsome mini games, map augmentations etc.

    If the Kill balls work well enough, I'm thinking of a mix between Guardian and Epitaph. Guartaph, Epirdian?

    This is the only question on my mind right now. I know the plank style bridges fit in, but the Foundry bridges would be useful as well. Having both types would be beneficial.

    I've already made plans for Epicness. And the more we see of this map, the more epic it becomes.

    i like the plank ones because they are totally flat, whereas the foundry ones have little edges on the sides, and slanted front/back, but the foundry ones look better.

    Yeah, that is the plus side to the plank.

    Not to put a damper on your discovery, but if you look closely at the curvature of the ball in the first pic and compare it with that of the second you get the same result. That means the ball in the second pic is sunk into the ground further. That doesn't totally rule out the possibility of if being customizeable in size, but it doesn't totally support it either. I'm a doubter though. I just don't think Bungie will allow us to change the size of that kind of object due to processing limitations of the xbox. I doubt the 360 will be able to process a giant red ball of doom lag free.

    Maybe only the ball appears in forge like the icons.

    Never know man. It might not be visible in game. Just in forge.

    Just over a month until we ind out either way, unless Bungie say something about it friday.

    Looks like there could be a teleporter to the bottom left of the floating mongoose. Doesn't it look more bold and thick than the previous counterparts. I am also not a doubter as I believe people will come up with great things anyway and glitch the ball to where it is really big.
