    Wow, the limits on the individual items were WAY higher than I expected them to be, 40 for some of them?! Insane!!! I wonder just how "huge" huge blocks are...

    The lack of some of the moveable objects is somewhat disturbing for my puzzle map making hobbies. I'm going to miss the dumpsters :(

    I'll miss the small shield doors too :(

    At least I still have pallets, thank god for that!

    I can see it affecting the switch making community more than myself though, and I never really fussed about with switches.

    Oh Well, it's all about progress anyway, I'm sure I'll come up with some new fancy puzzle ideas with what I've been given. I'm determined to find a way to "Beat" the killball somehow and then create a puzzle that makes you try and go through one without dying, mwahahahaha!

    I'm still really excited with all the possibilities of Sandbox!

    I'm guessing those "Tube" objects are a complete replacement for the Single and Double open boxes.

    Weird how there was no Equipment or Teleporter list, either there are some new secrets in those lists (teleporter for vehicles! I wish...) or it's because those lists have always been the same and there's no point showing them. I'm guessing the latter, it would be like saying "But what about the spawn point list, or the goals list! I must know what those are!"

    The Golf Club makes me rofl.
    But wow, in the first picture you see of the objects, it's the same thing from the EDGE Acceptance Video.
    I can't believe that stuff was right in front of us the whole time.

    4 Kill Balls you say!?!?!?

    *Earlier updates indicated that there would only be two Kill Balls present simultaneously on Sandbox at any given time. Turns out we sold ourselves short. You get four to play with. Go nuts.

    ya i saw it, notice my "EDIT" and i went back and looked before you even replied.

    any ideas on what you think the transport Hornet will be like, besides the fact that it will be kickass?

    I believe its the mega nerfed Hornet; seen on Avalanche?
    The one with Weak MG's and no Rockets?

    Can't wait to use all those items; as someone else said theres an immense amount of objects :D

    Transport Hornet? I wonder if it has the machine gun turret too?

    And where are the dynamic lighting effects that we have seen?

    And is that golf cub UNSC standard issue?

    Item limit of 640? Haha i'm sure Foundry was like 380 altogether?

    And is that every weapon available that i see?

    Shishka confirmed that the Transport Hornet was basically the one from Avalanche, you know, without the missile launcher, but with the machine gun.

    I also spotted Urk confirming in the Discussion thread for the Bungie Article that the normal Hornet is green and the transport one is grey, so that you can distinguish between them, and laugh at them apparently :)

    The Dynamic Lighting effects are the "Red Light" and "Blue Light" objects in the scenary list. You get 2 of each.

    Yes, I wonder why it's a 7 wood though? Must be coincidence...

    I believe they said the total item limit was always the same across all maps in the latest Bungie news story.

    Edit: I was wrong, it's like 640 on here and it's typically been between 200-300 on the old maps. So yeah much better on Sandbox.

    They forgot the Portal gun :(

    The item limit on pre-dlc is really low. It can't be the same all around.

    There is the definate possability that most of the maps from halo 2 and halo CE will be remade. We got the skybubble and so much more items to build with.

    If anybody can make a good remake of sanctuary or headlong they get a Cookie!

    It's going to be great and bad once everyone gets Sandbox.

    Bad for me because everybody will make a ton of maps better than i have, i haven't even posted a map though just screenshots.

    Good because i like to play the epic maps that people build and learn off them. I would love to see a Contest whoever can make the best halo 2 map on sandbox

    Headlong is the best map ever made by bungie. Period. Whoever remakes this map will indeed get a cookie.

    Meh, not quite. Okay, so grab powerup to make fusion coil fall. Fusion coil falls, and explodes. Explosion destroys grav lift and forced it to instant respawn somewhere else. The new instant spawning grav lift does... what exactly?
