The only way that a budget glitch would be impractical is if they raised the actual budget and lowered the item limit (or even left it the same). The budget for sandbox will more than likely be around $1000, so I think the common practice of budget glitching maps will be a thing of the past.
I beleive you can get past the item limit with ultimate budget glitch by saving and quiting then carrying on...
You can only flex the item limit by deleting default objective points and placing more objects before you save and quit. That only gets you a handful more of objects though. So ultimately, there is no getting around the item limit.
It could be possible if you lag the map enough that it doesnt have time to calculate the mpa limit and with the size of the map and the amount of objects it is probally fairly easy to lag it..
the item limit is stupid. what if i wanted to create a sandcrawler, but i was short on objects so i cant finish it?!? then what will you do??!! they should delete the item limit and budget. as long as you dont mindlessly spam double boxes where they're not needed, it wouldn't cause that much lag
But they can't stop you from mindlessly spamming double boxes... hence the item limit exists... trust me from a programmer's stand point (I am one in the Air Force) the limitations exist for a reason... don't push it... have faith in Bungie and the knowledge of their system... they know the game in and out much better than any of you...
Maybe they will do a tutorial like they did with budget glitch. Tbh I dont know why they dont let budget litched maps on matchmaking even tough they released the tutorial?
*facepalm* Okay, Bungie never posted a tutorial on how to glitch your way around their maps. Never, ever. The reason they don't allow budget glitched maps into matchmaking is that by circumventing their set budget, you allow for greater lag in-game.
Nope. Never ever, ever. Ever. They won't go announcing something that could possibly cause harm to someone's 360 over an extended period of time.
lets keep the chat to sandbox k? so do you guys think that they'll have any really new items besides the killball and pyramids?
Well it looks like they're importing a few objects from Ghost Town, such as the wood planks. It also looks like we'll be getting some bunker-style objects as well.
The walls look like they're the same width as the fence walls, rather than the regular walls. I also saw something on the base in the first screenshot which looks like a mini ramp to take players up to the height of a wall when its laying down.
thats cool it's too bad i'll have to pay 800 MS points to get the mythics.... that sucks so much ass. the only ones ill probably play on is this one and orbital. and the only one ill forge on is d\sandbox. tis a shame
If any of you guys are fans of the Tower of Power game, do you think Sandbox would be the perfect place to make a special map for it? I've been thinking about it, but I'm not sure anyone likes Tower of Power anymore.
In Halo 2, it was best (or only) played on Ascension. If you are familiar with Ascension, you would know that there is the "Tower Side", and the "Non-Tower Side". On top of the tower, there was a perfectly placed Machine Gun Turret. From there, you could basically see everything. Anyway, both teams start with Shotguns, and shotguns only. There is reduced health so the turret is basically a 1 shot kill. Well, both teams race to the tower to get a hold of the turret. The team with the turret has the biggest advantage, but if the other team is smart enough, they can take back the turret with ease. I think the score went to like 150, or 200. I'm not sure, but it was a blast to play. It was a really fun gametype back in the day, but in Halo 3, it seems that it has been forgotten. I know that we can detach turrets now, but people don't seem to realize that you can use the Warthog's turret.
I think I spy a Shiska lurking in this thread... Come out, come out wherever you are!... ...And answer this: - Are those balls of yellow glowy **** 'death balls', or are they spawn point related? - If they are 'death balls', are they an insta-kill thing?
The glowy balls are the Kill Balls. They probably will be insta-kill, otherwise it would just be a mega power drainer.
