    A Sanctuary inspired sandbox map

    Created By:
    Spaceneil8

    Description:
    Oasis is heavily inspired from Sanctuary in Halo 2. It is built in the crypt of Sandbox and is inverse symmetrical. This map has been designed to offer the great nostalgic Sanctuary style gameplay in Halo 3. Oasis has been tweaked a multitude of times to perfect gameplay and offer the best possible Flag, Slayer and Bomb games. Enjoy :).

    Wow this looks awesome... I like the structure with a lot of cool curved walls and stuff. I like the structure with the corner tube pieces. This map is pretty legit. I definitely am DL'ing this and checking it out.

    Holy freakin begesus, this map freaking rocks. I loved Sanctuary (thank you for the reminiscent MLG clips btw) but this map, dude if MLG wasn't all over gay now (my opinion) this map should definitely be in it. Where was this like 2 years ago???? If this was adopted to MLG i would love it again. Great job my friend the forging looks phenomenal, only thing i saw from pic's was one of the tin cups edges looks like it wasn't fully merged into the side but idk im dling for sure and checking this out.

    Edit: Well i just did a little look around, and i really like what im seeing. Only things that im a bit "nit picky" about is the few bumps when traversing the bridges, also their is a tiny gap between the left side of each base and the tin cup, i know its like that cause of overlap issues but those little areas where nades can disappear is one of the big things that MLG would look at for putting it into the circus (idk if your wanting that but honestly i think it'd work great). Other than that its perfect, i know going back and fixing the flooring a bit and trying to make sure those gaps are gone will be a pain in the ass but if done it would just improve those little things that some gamers get mad about.

    Thanks!

    Thank you, but try to run some games before calling out feature. ;)

    I was planning on fixing those minor bumps but the deadline for the MLG H3FF map pack 2 came up. I am definitely hoping for Oasis to make the circuit, but I'm planning to hold off on fixing those things until more people try the map out. If it does make the circuit I'll make sure to fix the bumps for KC. The gameplay is exceptionally good, try to run games, and tell me what you think :).

    Don't worry i'll get games in on it. I got the XF competition right now but later oh say Marchish me and my team will run some games on it and just get an over all feel for it. If it does make circuit then my team will have an advantage haha.

    Its not on the playlist, the members of the MLG Forge Forum put together a map pack but it was community driven not made by the MLG staff and not guaranteed circuit positions.

    I'm not much of an MLG person, but it looks good to me. It has a few bumps that you might want to fix, but I don't know about the weapons, not being into MLG. Still, isn't 2 snipers a little much?

    Aw yea, glad to see the new maps are out! i've been checkin out the mlg forums before so i knew it was coming.
    yea too bad they arent in the playlist, but it would be sweet to see them in a social playlist with other good community mlg maps

    Anyway, Are the rest of the maps gonna show up on forgehub? or is that up to the individual forgers?

    Lets hopefully see Pyrite and Necrology

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news but Necrology will likely not be released due to it not making the map pack and halo 3 nearing it's end.

    Will you set it up for all gametypes for those of us that don't play MLG?

    Taken straight from the OP. It's been there ever since I posted the map.
