    What map that has ever used a Soccer Ball cannot use a Golf Ball instead?

    Seriously though, this map is going to completely remove Foundry off the map. If this pit area is as large a Foundry then I don't see the point in making maps on Foundry any longer.[/quote]

    Wrong. Im sure people will still make foundry maps on a regular basis. Its just that ir will have competition becouse Sandbox is going to be coming out soon.

    But other than that, Im sure that there will be ways to take new screenshots on Sandbox.

    i think foundry will still be better for making smaller, completely enclosed map, (see distortion) since every building material on sandbox is that desert-y brown color and will all blend together, and not look as nice as ones on foundry

    Why wouldn't you be able to take screenshots on Sandbox?

    You also never stated why people would continue making maps on Foundry. I'm just saying that once Sandbox hits the marketplace that somebody posting on here with a Foundry map will be as likely as somebody posting on here with a Non-DLC map.

    I think this will happen because Sandbox will most likely have a pit. The pit will most likely be Foundry. If we have a Foundry that has more items then the previous Foundry, then which Foundry would you rather forge on?

    Yes, Foundry gives us that whole Industrial feel and all. But I don't know, it's just what I think.

    What do you mean by "Wrong. Im sure people will still make foundry maps on a regular basis. Its just that ir will have competition becouse Sandbox is going to be coming out soon." I'm sorry, it's like... I read that and I just don't understand what your saying. You say it will have competition because Sandbox is going to be coming out soon? Why?

    We know that Sandbox is coming out soon, but why would anybody want to forge on Foundry when you can forge on a map with twice the amount of items? A map with twice the amount of items can't possibly be competition for a map with half the amount of items.

    Sandbox has every object from Foundry plus more. Although the objects look different, they are still the same.

    And of course the most important thing to account to. Well not the most important, but still pretty important. The item limit on Sandbox is 6x the item limit on Foundry! So which map would you rather forge on? Take into account that Sandbox also has base indicators and filters.

    Once again, in case you have missed something. Sandbox will most likely have an area called The Pit, that will most likely be as large as Foundry, and completely enclosed. Read the above information on why I think Foundry will barely be used anymore.

    I know, I have already seen this thread and in particular I am not worried about what every map is labeled on these forums. I'm sure the moderators have a plan, and yes... Sandbox maps shouldn't be labeled Non-Foundry, but instead "Sandbox."

    Although Non-Foundry maps get most of the attention just because they are "Different." My post on this thread was more on the lines of, how often will we see foundry used?

    People are already quiting on finishing maps in process that aren't on Sandbox because they know that once Sandbox releases that they will be one generation of maps behind.
    I'm not getting on just your case! I'm getting on everybody's case. Because we have some people popping in at different times not knowing what's going on. Some people missed out on the Sandbox information, and some people missed out on The Pit information. Although The Pit has not been confirmed yet, we still believe this is the truth. We compile facts on this thread leading to why something is true. We also give facts on why something is false.

    So when I quote you and reply, it's just because maybe you have missed some information on what's going on in this thread. I haven't ever seen you post in it so maybe you missed out on some discussions?

    Sorry that you don't want to write an essay.

    Yes, I to believe that people will find ways to make some new screenshots. Who will be the first to use those light towers I wonder? The base indicators?

    there will still be foundry maps, just a lot less of them. i think that after sandbox is released most of the foundry maps will be of a higher quality than you average foundry map is. Pit notwithstanding, foundry looks bettor for MLG maps (that aren't floating) and nice, aesthetically appealing competitive maps, the colors on sandbox just don't work for that, even with the lighting effects.

    There is a reason to use every map conker... we ran into the same problem when Foundry came out... there were no more Last Resort maps. Last Resort has a very unique feel to it compared to every other map, and back in the day, if you made a Last Resort map... it was just like everyone else's. Now that things have moved to Foundry, the potential of Last Resort maps to stand out has increased exponentially.

    There will be a bunch of reasons to not use Sandbox, but the biggest problem will be for people to realize this. Aesthetics and feel is a big thing in Sandbox... it will get overrated at one point in time like all of the Foundry maps are getting... just be patient... the influx of Sandbox maps will hurt at first, but the best forgers will not only forge on Sandbox... those are the maps you really want to look forward too. or any maps made by me ;)...

    For those that want to understand the theory behind map selection, click on "My Anti-Foundry" under Forging Theory in my signature. It covers all the reasons to select a map in general. It will make you want to forge on other maps. And if you want reason to use Foundry, read the recap at the beginning of "Forging A Plan". It explains exactly why one would use Foundry over other maps.

    i think sandbox will see several remakes of black hawk down, or middle eastern conflict maps. the scenery fits the bill, desert, sandy peices that can easily make homes.
