    I agree with Lance, Balls are spheres not rectangles, but i wanna know what the size of the "Tiny Cup" will be besides it being tiny. and on a map this big, it must be very easy to lose the golfballs. And about the kill balls, we will just have to wait to find out how it works exactly.

    so far, the only thing dissapointing about sandbox is the fact that there are no troop hogs :( and that there are barely any movable objects

    The Hills, and respawn areas are more of an edited attribute, whilst the objects which are placed have fixed options, and are in the engine. The engine dosen't allow for such items to be resized>

    My interpretation is probably wrong. But still, my general idea is correct :D


    I wonder what wacky ideas there will be created :D

    Killballs are not sizable.

    Block Tiny and Block Small are affected by physics for the "switch" folks.

    So block tiny and small are kind of like Crates and Single or Small Crates, am I correct Urk?

    So you just renamed the boxes and crates eh? Sneaky.

    Although Killballs are not sizable, are they immovable objects? Or can they be moved?

    Disputes are still going on over Bungie.net forums what Transport Hornets even are...lol.
    Speaking of those hornets, I'm guessing that they will be the same colour to those in Sandtrap.

    As to the items we get, I think that they are extrememly genourous. The arches tunnels (or the things that look like them) open up several new opportunities for structures for us to make, let alone the massive budget.

    Also, I finally understand the skybox mechanic. It looks fantastic and I can't wait to experiment things.
    Thanks Bungie, not just Shishka and Urk, remember the guys working behind the scenes.

    Just the arches in general will make for nice curved walls and cielings, im looking foward to the three way Y-shaped tube it looks like a unique piece to work with. it will be hard to work with at some points on maps i bet. and there will be great potential in forging when all this comes out.

    I think it's called "Tin Cup", not "Tiny Cup".

    Oh, and got this from Achronos on the B.net forums:

    That should clear things up. ;)

    Is that so Urk? Well then, I am joyed once more. Though, do they have the physics of dumpsters or crates?

    man this is awesome! they are finally giving forge what it should have had all along:

    -an empty plain to build on that no1 can get off/out of
    -Lego-styled assortment of objects (Y shaped thing, pillars, etc.)
    -Enormous limit of objects to place
    -New style for objects, rather than bland, square boxes

    If this is what you mean, it will be this high.

    From the pictures in the original post, it looks like the limit is a few stories high, which looks like plenty enough.

    I'm sure I will be pretty high judging from this pic:

    It may go higher, idk, but we'll see.

    I hope it goes high enough to make an adequately sized 3 story building ;)
    Then... My plan will come to fruition :D
    MWAUAHAH :)

    Well, if you want to build a tall building, I'm guessing the bottom will high enough for you to achieve that. But if you were planning on building it specifically in the Sky Bubble, then hopefully the height of the area is tall enough. ;)

    I have a feeling, and if this is wrong, then this is what should happen, where the roof might be 3-5 double boxes high.
