    Thanks. Me too, actually. I was working on a pretty promising project in the sky bubble. Sort of a large reimagination of Elation. But, I ran out of money... than then I ran out of items... and it's nowhere near done. Sure does look good, though.

    I've been looking for a Sandbox variant to DL, and this one looks awesome! Congrats on the feature too.

    I've started the DL process for this, and I look forward to a good time on this map. Asymmetrical maps have always been fun, and I have a hard time making some myself. Also, geomerging is somthing I need to learn, and this looks like a great example. Once I have a chance to look at this beauty, I'll come back and add my thoughts to this post.

    EDIT: I've come to the bitter realization that none of my friends play Halo 3 any more. Therefore, I cannot see the gameplay for myself, unless I get into a TGIF event and this superb map is featured in it. But anyway, very well done indeed. All the aesthetic touches are great, and the merging is the cleanest I've seen in a long time. Your cartography is constantly improving, and I look forward to more amazing maps.

    I'm new at this forum. Can anyone pm me the way this guy did all the links and cool mapping from above that he did? I'm confused about how he did it.

    This variant should completely replace Bungie's garbage default configuration in matchmaking. I love how the structures at the edge of the map look as if the sand has washed over them. Everything is neatly and creatively built. I played a couple of team slayer games on this and they were epic. Lot's of fighting over the top of the center structure. I'm gonna try some CTF on it tonight. Excellent work.

    I saw this on Atlas (Shishka's Bungie.net group for submiting maps for matchmaking). This should totaly go in Team Objective (the current theme that Shishka is looking for). One Flag and One bomb would be sweet on this map. Not to mention territories! I really hope this gets chosen. GL!!

    5/5

    First off I'm just gonna say that instead of just kissing your ass like everyone else, I'm gonna give you my honest opinion...so take it for what it's worth.

    There are a few structures that look nice but thats about it. They don't contribute to making the map play better at all except by blocking some LOS. Also, the center structure almost seams kinda sloppy for the great talent you have Cosmic. Most of the center building isn't interlocked and the design of it itself isn't anything spectacular. I will give you that the large base is amazing, but it could also use some refining on certain areas. In random parts of the map, there seams to be random structures. I just feel that this map isn't up to par with what you've made in the past. Anyways, congrats on the feature and I hope you appreciate my honesty.

    Does anyone know how geomerging works on sandbox? I knew how to on Foundry but havent figured out on sandbox.

    and my opinion of the map is...
    This map is by far the best map I've seen on sandbox so far,it has great interlocking and the red base looks amazing, I can't comment on gameplay yet since i can't get a game going but it looks like it will go well the weapon list looks pretty nice.

    I play this map with my friend and it is awesome! I loved the huge ramp to the geomergeed tube. It's too bad the my friends and I were in forge (lots of deleting and adding).

    I haven't commented on this? Wow.

    This map is so awesome that I can't even comprehend its awesomeness. I got a few games on this map going in some random custom party a while ago and I was very impressed. We played One Flag, Neutral Bomb, and Team Slayer I think. Every gametype we played went flawlessly and gameplay was smooth and hectic at the same time.
    And as said before, amazing merging! I wish I could geomerge that well.

    Congrats on:
    1) The feature
    2) Architect
    3) Getting the map into MM
    4) Being one helluva forger!

    For the record, the Hornet has been removed from the map in the MM version. It won't be added until mid May. It certainly can't come soon enough!

    I wish I had your gift of Sandbox Geomerging. I'm too damn impatient! This map is both an aesthetic masterpiece and a blast to play. I really am glad that this is getting into Matchmaking. This is, by far, the greatest One-Sided Objective Map I have ever stepped foot on. This should be an example of what a good map should be for all of us. I thank you, good sir.
