    So do...waaait a second. Why have all the smilies been replaced with squirrels!? WTF man?! I mean, sure, it's really cool and everything but I mean, kinda random....pretty confusing: :squirrel_wtf:

    So anyway...Remember how Bungie made that one post about a month ago titled:

    Oh, Legoes!

    Well I didn't think much of it then, but now I'm actually using Lego's to help me build my next map!

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    It can be simple, really:

    Forge Item ///// Lego equivalent

    Double Box.........................."8" Block (2 X 4 'pegs')
    Single Box______________"4" Block (2 X 2 'pegs')
    Bridges, Walls, etc. ...............Varying sized "flat" Lego's. (One's with thickness of a penny)
    Stairs__________________"Slanted" Lego's. (Look like an 8 Block sliced diagonally)
    Fence Box........................I just use a black 8 Block, or if I run out of black ones, an 8 Block turned on its side.
    Double Box (Open)_________Umm, hehe, I may have just drawn little boxes on the end with a Sharpie.
    Single Box (Open)...................Same as Double Box Open.
    Grav-lifts, Man Cannons_____ Small, random, Lego pieces.


    That's all the main stuff, for the rest you'll just have to be creative.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    I CAN HAS PICTURES??

    Maybe later....

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    That's all I have to say really. I'll have that map done by the end of this week...if you're interested:

    My map map will be one meant for One-sided games, mostly Assault. The Attackers spawn outside a massive base and must reach the third floor "Control Room" and bomb it.

    OMGz you is copy Depot!!! NO. For the last time, NO. This is nothing llike...well, Ok, it's SOMEWHAT like depot. But not a copy. I would call it more a Depot/Citadel hybrid with my own spin. Should be a great game for playing with your (squirrel?) buds! : :squirrel_grouphug:

    If you want to know any more about the map and/or would like to be informed upon its realease,

    PM me AT BUNGIE.NET!! I WILL NOT REPOND HERE!!





    That is all. Wow, I already said that and yet I continued to type last time. Hmm.



    Discuss Lego's, Foundry, my map, and basically anthing else I mentioned. :squirrel_chatting:

    You can has proof when I finish the map.

    You can has pictures when I figure out how to work my new camera.

    You can has squirrel army? You already has silly!



    Note:
    There is a big difference between my map and Depot: You can exit mine. That already makes totally different, plus there's a whole bunch of other stuff I already said and/or don't feel like typing right now. I lazy.


    ok thatz it by bye now

    What you dont like FH. Not to be mean or anything but FH kicks ass (pardon my french). Bungie is for spammers and is full of ppl who dont care about forging. FH is for people who care. and in return FH cares for us (sorta). Anyway FH is better then Bungie.

    No, I loves FH!

    It's just easier to keep track of PMs if everyone sends them to Bungie, as I am a member of many fansites.

    I'm also far too lazy to check more than 2 inboxes (email and b.net PMs.)

    alright well on topic. the lego technique i think is unreliable. it is easier to just make changes and set stuff up in forge itself. plus you cant angle objects while using legos

    Angles may be pretty hard, but the Lego idea is useful if you're just experimenting, or more importantly if your in this situation:

    *Puts red block on blue one*

    Yes! Finally I created the best Forge map ever! It's perf...

    Wait. If I move this box that was all the way on the bottom on top, it is more perfect!



    In Forge you'd say: Crap. That stupid BLAMMING box is all the way at the bottom and there is no way to move it without disturbing anything else.

    Wow that sounds stupid.

    Main Point: Moving Legoes does NOT screw up your map, having to move the boxes is.


    HAHA!! NANA! I PROVED MOVING THINGS OUT OF FORGE IS BETTER!! PTHBBBBBBB!!

    I'm kidding, but really, it is.

    I'm glad you thought of this. I'm sure it will help you and it might help others if they are away from their 360s but still want to design a map. Looking at it in 3D will be better than looking at a diagram on a sheet of paper.

    However, I still think that actually being in Forge is better. You can turn into a player and test lines of sight, jump distances, grenade bounces, run times from point A to point B, and so on. Also, you can have custom music playing, show it to your friends, get on private chat with a buddy in matchmaking, or anything else you can do on Live.

    its actually quite simple. hold the lego in mid air, then pause your life. select 'save as new life'. go back to heaven, and load the life you saved. if you dont like it, just delete the new life and try again with your previous life.

    Yavi i think there should be a rule about reading at least the first post. i have seen many posts like
    .


    Alien to answer your question you incorperate legos by building with them. i will not go into detail because the first post is huge and it explains everything.

    I love playing with Legos... I like to make spaceships... and then i take the heads off the guys and i make it so they have a block for a head...

    Legos are badass.

    Your map is going to fail though.

    thats actually a really good idea but im too lazy to break out my legos cuz i just got way to many to sort through

    WTF!!!!????

    Ok .... anyway. Legos are awesome. Although I've never thought to try and design a Foundry map with them. Good idea, but me being a Drafter and all I'd rather just draw a plan. Leave Legos for building spaceships and cars and stuff. Oh and to the OP you really shouldn't color on Legos with a Sharpie, that's not cool.
