Sandstone City “This jewel of the desert still shines though it’s streets are now only filled with death.” By TheGreatHibiki Sandstone was an Oasis in the great expanse of nothingness that made up the Grand Desert. Built to protect a meager water source it’s towering guardians stand ever still, the monument to the greed the city had brought. Water was traded with greater value than even gold or oil, and with the trade came great wealth and technology. They even constructed a beacon in the center of town to guide merchants and traders to the oasis. The little town became a metropolis a haven for those with the money to live there, many who had once stayed were forced into the very traps they had built. Sandstone became associated with untold cruelty and malice. Until one day the Guardians turned on them. Technology was their vice but because of such greed they lost the ones who could repair the towers. Trapped inside their luxury apartments and homes the rich and powerful grew frail and then died. Sandstone became a ghost town whose silent rich still remain in their rotting chairs and beds. POINTS OF INTERST: Sandstone City is a symmetrical map with a track going around it. Each side appears like so: With a hornet located on a helipad: A mongoose in a garage: And a warthog located in the lower tram station to the left and right extreme sides. Said warthog can be taken off the tram tracks or pick up troops at the upper tram stations: Hornets make excellent recon vehicles however cramped conditions make it hazardous to fly from fire down below. For use with any standard objective game or 1v1 to 8v8 team. Up to 4v4 FFA possible but not recommended. Download Sandstone City from Bungie.net There is a lack of many weapons on the map I do realize, this was mentioned by the Fusedgaming betas and a soulution can be reached by removing the barriers on the tram tracks. This version however carries them as the tram allows quick un obstructed runs to the enemy bases but are easily driven off of. If interest in the non-barrier version PM me and I will send it.
Wow... man this looks AMAZING! I love the tram idea, if it was fully inclosed that would be pretty cool. Anyway this looks like an amazing map *downloads*. Keep up the awesome forging!
I was blown away from this maps layout. I absolutely LOVE IT! Nicely done with the different levels of the map. 5/5
you got me with the track that goes around the city, i love that idea, i like the city's layout too, really nice job, 5/5!!!
I like the track idea, it's pretty original...but I'm also pretty disappointed. I was hoping for high rise buildings that you could actually go into... snipe someone across the map from a penthouse suite or something like that. With the building proportions, it makes it seem like you're Godzilla with huge vehicles... which would be cool if you could knock over building, too.
this is such a great map and looks like it can have a lot of good game types i really like the train station/tracks it actually looks and feels like a city and reminds me of that one map in halo 2 i forget the name 5/5
Man this looks great! Props to you. Let me just say the overview is beauiful. It looks like something the forerunners would construct on a desolate planet. Everything looks beautiful. As far as asthetics go, you nailed it, but gameplay worries me a tiny bit. With all the vehicles it seems a bit confusing. I know the map is symmetrical, but it seems gameplay might be focused towards vehicles. If you ever make a V2 you may want to remove just a few vehicles. That is really the only feedback I can give you besides how much this map rocks! Good job! 4.5/5
very good nice map not to super interlocked geomerged just a nice original idea almost worth a feature
I agree with the statement about the sniping from a penthouse. I think you have an excellent map here, especially the tram XD, but i think it could be phenomenal if you made some changes to allow smoother gameplay. Usable buildings, preferably closed in, with interesting angles. Maybe a forklift in the streets with a slow spawning fusion core, so u could use it for cover, but also blow it up. Maybe download a *hugebox* version and make a larger tram that goes way outside. I think a few street warfare elements and some interlock's could make this my favorite map.
