    I'd agree with the foundry fitting, but I'd also agree with sandbox/ghost town bridges fitting. I really don't care which we get.

    do you guys think foundry walls will be on longshore? heres what i think the best forging items will be:

    Traxus double/single boxes
    foundry bridges
    foundry walls

    not great forging tools, i still tink the forums will be full of sandbox maps, but for a little bit people will be experimenting with the maps.

    its gon b k, i think

    i dont know if anyone else has said this(im not in the mood for reading 17 pages of comments) but it looks from the confirmed picture that at least part of it should be flat, and i think it will be as forgable as last resort was. It seems like it would have the same objects (in the bottom right of the confirmed picture are the boxes, and box opens).It also has a fork lift but honestly im not looking forward to it that much, because it really reminds me of last resort. but i definatley dont think it will be a remake, not 2 remakes in one map pack

    im pretty sure there are going to be traxus boxes, i think there is one in the pic. they may look a little nicer, but its harder to forge with them then foundry boxes.

    I think we should have an option for movable boxes and immovable. Many a game could be reborn upon use of a combination! Oh sweet choice, a bane of a gift you are.

    that would be awesome, but i don't think it is going to happen.
    but maybe it would be like Box, Stationary or Box, Moveable

    Or maybe it would be like Box and Crate, like in Rat's Nest.

    Honestly why do people post here saying they think that it will have Traxus boxes. Look at the pic. We got em. ;)

    Hopefully a new bridge. Im fine with foundry walls, but i want a new bridge

    What he ^ said. Sandbox had new bridges, I think Longshore deserves some too. Plus, it has to be the TALLEST map (in matchmaking) ever. Seriously, if you're able to get on top of the roofs, how about the Last Resort-ish thing in the middle of the pic.

    Now, what about the other two maps? Heretic looks a little too small to put stuff, other than the assembly items. I mean, Midship was arguably the smallest map in Halo 2 (along with Foundation). But the thing is, Foundation was open and could be awesome for forging, especially if they let you get above the map and somehow block the void off surrounding the map.

    Citadel, from the pic and the campaign levels, looks like they remove the elevator and put in the (insert weapon or equipment here) centerpiece. If they did, it'd be AWESOME for infection games. I expect, since they confirmed it was going to be similar to the structures in The Covenant, they should have the pathway up to the elevator (except now leading to the centre of the map), and also the terminal part (across the elevator). Also, the could have the outsides where the anti-air battles take place, thus promoting it to a large map. I don't expect it though, cause I think Bungie stated that Citadel would be a medium-small map. But
    t, if it did, many forging possibilities would open up.

    Hey, it's only a month and a few days away though. Anyone else gonna be steamed if they can't get it when it comes out? I know I am. Heck, I probably can't get it till Christmas.

    This picture shows us new possibilities for forging. Sort of the Foundry feel we loved mixed with a newer style. Look at that giant area to Forge :)
    Hooray for Longshore!
