    it'll by like glitching way out of a map, then falling to death back to the map.

    When Bungie says "Teleporter" where do you guys think this teleporter will be located? The one that leads to the skybox.

    By the way, this skybox is amazing! Like, prepare to see some kickass maps kind of amazing. Like, screw the kill ball kind of amazing.

    At first we were all going to rely on the kill ball to provide for our sky maps, but this... just makes me wonder. Lockout remakes anyone? Perhaps an Ascension remake?

    hmm. i bet it is in teh light of one of the towers surrounding sandbox. bungie's original teleporter will probably only be forge-accessible, but whatever it is, it wont be were you have to put your own to get up there origionally, the less forge-prone masses would have troubel.

    It says here in the interview:

    That leads me to believe that there will already be a teleporter when you enter Forge and that it's the only way to access the upper level from the lower level.

    Right, new question. Will the default Layout for Sandbox (they have to have one for the MM playlist) have a teleporter on it still? That would be odd, flying to the top of the map. But it would make for a few cool MM games.

    this is just so amazing. I think though that the lower level of sandbox will pretty much be useless now. I am thinking of so many kickass MLG asymmetrics right now. Ascension is going to be way overdone though. Also, is anyone else thinking of an attempt of making a to-scale sanctuary on the lowerlevel. The foundry ones didn't feel right but i think this could easily be done on the sand-level of sanbox.

    Or you could expand on that question and ask if there will be something built onto the upper level in the default layout of Sandbox.

    I doubt it, but it would be interesting.

    that would be very interesting. perhaps one of the secret's they are hiding on the default map is the fact that there is a secondary map above the two bases? That would make for some very interesting, very unique matchmaking games.

    I think it will be very usefull. The top would have to be either very small maps, or floating maps. You need a solid, flat ground under you most of the time. Sandbox provides both.

    When you turn into a monitor.....hello not quite sure if you can do this on MatchMaking. (oozing with sarcasm.)

    i was talking about this earlier but no-one really listened. i bet you can, i was hopin you could save it quick and get some items floating between realms.

    No need to be so sarcastic. They said something about a default teleporter so you don't have to fly for 10 minutes every time. I was simply saying I wondered if the default version would having anything up there in MM, and if the default map would be different.

    The teleporters between ground and sky are automatically available in Forge.

    *Ponders at how high you can go* I do wonder, however, on how far you can go up in the Skybox. I'm thinking of making a giant tower war with Movable objects making up the towers and all. Feature NAO perhaps?

    Super Urk, to the rescue! Thanks for the answer Urk!

    What if DeathToll made a giant Pennyless? But with no teleporters, and just the death barrier up top to kill you. Be so Dramatic! All the ideas flowing through my head right now! Who will release the first map however? *Dramatic Chipmunk comes in to action*

    You mean they only show up in Forge? Cool, I was just bouncing around cool ideas anyway. Thanks for the clear up.

    And thus, using his powers of Urkness, pages of conflict have been avoided.


    now i know you can't tell, but will there be anything up above, teleporter accessible in default sandbox?

    dangit. i wanted them to be available in matchmaking. it would shake up the usual halo experience up a lot, and it would be immensely fun in my opinion.
